THE 8 O'CLOCK

If there were one word to categorize last night in the NBA, it would be surprise. With LeBron and co.'s upset of a KG-less Celtics squad, the Big Aristotle's move to Phoenix and the prospect of Ron Artest in a Nuggets uniform threatening to become reality, we'll be spending most of the day in the fetal position, trying to figure this all out. Since that's not necessarily good for business, we've got some other stuff planned as well.

While you're cursing Terrelle Pryor for scoffing at the sacred tradition of Signing Day, Carmen Renee Thompson will be checking in with the last of our Super Bowl XLII coverage (we swear!) in Play-Action, giving you an exclusive look at the other side of the Big Game. The side you couldn't get into because, like us, your name wasn't on the list.

Later, longtime Mag contributer, former NFL-er and occasionally angry individual Alan Grant will weigh in on the latest developments in the Michael Vick saga.

So sit back, relax, but not so much as to arouse suspicion, and enjoy.
