Bob Hille's starting 5

1 Sports on TV. The NFL and sex, then the NBA and violence. Let's kill two birds with one stone: Put 'era in a ring, and see if the Cialis dude can wipe that smile off the Viagra guy's face.

2 Ricky Williams. He's enrolled at a holistic school in California. The town: Grass Valley. I kid you not. Grass Valley. That's as far as I go, folks; you take it from here.

3 The Pacers. At one point after the big brawl, they had only six decent players ... or, as they call it in Indiana, "Notre Dame football's last recruiting class."

4 Army-Navy. It puts a lump in my throat when I think that these are the young men who will be defending our inalienable right to throw a $12 beer at an NBA player.

5 JoePa. He'll be back at Penn State, which is good news for players from his last winning team. By next season, they'll qualify for the AARP discount on alumni travel.
