		<description><![CDATA[The list rightfully spans both the foundation, innovation and modernization of the game. No true guidelines exist for its compilation. For one, the names were presented sans-position, which allows only the best on the list. Secondly, statistics dominate the selections but can differ greatly from player-to-player. 32,172 points separate the list's top and bottom scorers (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 38,327; Bill Walton 6,215).

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, if you stick a small piece of duct tape to the lower left side of the phone, it will fix the problem of inadvertently disrupting the signal on the new antenna. That's why it surprised me that Steve Jobs wanted to fix the problem for whatever cost it took. That's like keeping a promising pitcher who'll just ask for more money when his contract is up. So for you Cleveland Indian fans, here is what I propose to fix our attendance issues: "Tribe Tape."

		<description><![CDATA[Stephen Strasburg should be playing in the MLB All-Star game tonight for the National League. There are valid arguments for both sides on why he should or shouldn’t be playing. No longer can it just be considered a “rite of passage” for players who have “served their time” in the MLB ranks for a few years proving their worthiness.

		<description><![CDATA[I know it's already been said, but Spain's Xavi is the best soccer player we've (the soccer-apathetic North Americans) never paid attention to. He flies under the American fans' radar because he's more known for setting up goals than scoring them. I can't recall the exact stat at this time, but the World Cup telecast for the final said that Xavi had set up 25 shots on goal, eight more than any other player.

		<description><![CDATA[Joe Johnson left the 2010 free agency bonanza with the most money. The Atlanta Hawks will give him a reported $120 million for the next 6 years.
