With attorney fees, insurance boosts and actual fines, the estimated total cost of a DUI conviction in Colorado is around $9,000. This season, Carmelo Anthony, who was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Denver earlier this week, will make almost 1,500 times that amount in NBA contract money alone.

Remember when Napster first came out and it was awesome? You could get Limp Bizkit’s entire “Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water” album or the latest Sugar Ray hit in one quick download. You stopped having to take your mom to the music store to sign off on that Parental Advisory Eminem CD, and you could use your extra money on more important things.

I didn’t watch much college basketball growing up. Coming of age as a basketball fan in mid-’90s Houston, where Hakeem the Dream was leading the Rockets to back-to-back NBA titles, I had little time for these amateur athletes and their collegiate sport with almost zero good teams in Texas.

One is an iconic action film actor and the other is a legendary basketball coach. One cut his teeth in movies like “Rocky” and “Rambo,” while the other led the Showtime Lakers to four NBA Championships. Pat Riley and Sylvester Stallone are pretty different guys, but they both have one thing in common: They peaked in the ’80s and have no business doing what they do in this day and age.

Valentine’s Day is the time of year to stop and appreciate the relationships that you value in life. Not just boyfriends or girlfriends, but also mothers, fathers, brothers — and perhaps most importantly — grandmothers. In the world of sports, Valentine’s Day is a time to appreciate the sports relationships in life that are just meant to be.

During my time at Georgetown, O’Donovan Hall has provided me with very little that is good or decent.

“Uhununu nylon nunduda, ALABAMA!” If you saw Jon Wallace’s improbable three-pointer during Monday’s definition of a “tough loss” to the Panthers of Pittsburgh and their incessantly chanting student section, you undoubtedly heard this spasm of glee from ESPN color commentator Bill Raftery.

This past Saturday’s Georgetown vs. Fairfield game was so boring that the highlight of my afternoon was the free Chik-fil-A cow doll I got before tip-off.
