One problem. Isn’t this guy the Demon of Screamin’? Vitale’s Back Next Week (NY Post) Jan 31

Brady seems to have inspired all sorts of man crush type articles, more than he has in the past, but it’s really not a question that the Red Sox are more popular and Big Papi has that Paul Bunyan legacy up there. I think people will pick Brady, but I’m curious where Boston’s allegiances lie. A grim topic to debate, but please. Discuss. Jan 31 Deadspin has done it again. Enjoy! Jan 31

Cleveland 84, Portland 83: LeBron was absolutely magnificent, outscoring the Blazers in the fourth quarter and converting the game-winning basket with less than a second left (on a filthy reverse layup) to cap another amazing night. The Cavs trailed by 11 with four minutes left and then James nailed three straight triples. He scored 37 points, and no other Cavs hit double figures. If he’s not there already, give him another year – a taller, stronger version of Michael Jordan. Utah 100, New York 89: The Knicks haven’t been pushovers on this road trip so far, but they also haven’t won (0-3). We probably should have gone with the Clippers home win in which rookie Al Thornton scored a career-high 33 points, but we wanted to remind you: Zach Randolph returns home to Portland Friday. Big fun! Minnesota 83, Chicago 67: This has to be a new low for the Bulls, which is stunning, considering the T-Wolves scored a mere eight points in the first quarter and Joakim Noah just went out for American Idol. They could not contain that fierce tandem of Al Jefferson (26-20) and Ryan Gomes (25-10). First the Bears, and now this abortion? Rough year in Chicago sports. Orlando 107, Miami 91: A new streak of futility begins for the Heat – consecutive loses by 15 or more. Hedo had 27-12 and Dwight had 16-13 in the rout.

Thanks to ABC for replaying the Lost finale last night. While we enjoyed the ‘enhanced’ version (‘Pop-up Lost?’), other die-hards have called it ‘Lost for dummies’ and were annoyed. At any rate, the season premiere is in a few hours. If you read nothing today, please, please

We’re less than a week away from Duke-UNC, and the return of the Clown Prince of college basketball, Dick Vitale. Phil Mushnick writes that Vitale’s throat is ulcer free, 
Sucks to be the post following the epic Berman video, but … a reader asks (we have altered nothing): Could you ask your readers, particularly the Massholes, whom they would save from a burning car fire if they only could pull one person from the wreckage (and the other is sure to perish, all deification/granting of super powers are ineffective here), Tom Brady or Big Papi.
Haven’t done this in awhile, we’re not making this a regular feature, and it’s

Golden State 116, New Orleans 103: You knew with all the pub the Hornets were getting lately, that they were due for a loss, even if this one came at home, against a team that had lost the night before in Houston. Baron Davis led the Warriors’ offensive orgy (52 percent shooting, 13 three’s) with 23 points and nine assists. Chris Paul had 28 points and 12 assists.
