L.A. Dodgers 'Gettin Puiggy Wit It' As New Rookie Sensation Injects Energy Into 2013 Season - Forbes: "What we all know at this point in the season is that the Los Angeles Dodgers have invested millions of dollars on their roster over the last 18 months to little avail thus far.

What we don’t know is how good newcomer Yasiel Puig could become, whether he will help inject youthful enthusiasm into the lineup, and possibly become the most cost-effective financial asset the Dodgers own."

San Antonio Spurs blew it in Game 2 vs. Miami Heat

San Antonio Spurs blew it in Game 2 vs. Miami Heat: "MIAMI — The Miami Heat had long since taken over Game 2 of the NBA Finals, and now the postgame podium was theirs, too.

Mario Chalmers was talking to the world about his latest where-did-that-come-from? playoff performance, a 19-point outing in the 103-84 victory against the San Antonio Spurs that — strange though it may seem — topped anything LeBron James had been able to do from a scoring standpoint in these first two games. All of the shell-shocked Spurs were standing not far away, in the bowels of the American Airlines Arena; coaches, players, trainers and front-office types alike waited to be checked by security officials before boarding their plane back home."

Pacers center Roy Hibbert apologizes for using gay slur - latimes.com

Pacers center Roy Hibbert apologizes for using gay slur - latimes.com: "Pacers center Roy Hibbert, a budding superstar who helped his team force a deciding Game 7 in the Eastern Conference finals against the Miami Heat with a 91-76 victory Saturday night in Indianapolis, has issued an apology for using a gay slur during his postgame news conference.

Hibbert, a defensive force at 7-foot-2 who is becoming a presence on offense, followed a question from a reporter about LeBron James by responding, "no homo." He later dropped an f-bomb when asked why he thought he finished so low in the media voting for the NBA's defensive player of the year."

With 'Fast & Furious 6' No. 1 again, 'After Earth' crashes, burns - latimes.com

With 'Fast & Furious 6' No. 1 again, 'After Earth' crashes, burns - latimes.com: "In what may go down as the biggest box-office upset of the year, the man who has arguably been Hollywood's No. 1 star couldn't even manage a second-place finish.

"After Earth," the $135-million sci-fi flick costarring Will Smith and his son Jaden, had an apocalyptic debut of $27 million, according to an estimate from distributor Sony Pictures. (That figure includes grosses from Thursday evening, when the picture hit theaters at 9 p.m.)

That result left the film behind "Fast & Furious 6," which was No. 1 again with $34.5 million in ticket sales during its second weekend in theaters. The picture has now grossed a huge $170.4 million domestically."
