Oden Has No Idea How He Got Injured Top draft pick Greg Oden doesn't remember much from immediately after knee surgery. He was with his mother at home when he found out how serious it was. "I kinda looked at my mom and said, 'I'm out for the season? You kidding me?' " he said. Oden will be on crutches for six more weeks. Full recovery likely will take six to 12 months. He has started swimming, and a machine gently bends his knee for six hours a day. Oden was at the Trail Blazers' practice facility Thursday on crutches and with his surgically repaired left knee wrapped in ice. Except for a videotaped blog entry, it was the 7-footer's first public appearance since undergoing microfracture surgery on Sept. 13. He will miss the season rehabbing. He had spoken to Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin, who have had microfracture surgery, and they warned him not to rush back. "I just want everybody to know, I did not hurt my knee getting up off the couch this summer, and I didn't hurt my knee playing 'Dance Dance Revolution' and break-dancing this summer," he joked. "That did not happen." While he joked about how the injury occurred, Oden said it remains a mystery. He took time off after the draft, and then started feeling pain when he resumed training. He did laughingly admit to having a "Dance Dance Revolution" interactive video game at his home. Oden was in good spirits, although he said the full impact of missing the season probably won't hit him until Tuesday, when the Blazers start fall practice for the season.

Dallas Cowboys safety Michael Hamlin says nude photos of him surfaced on the Internet are "photoshopped."

Welcome to the world of the WAGs. The beautiful women of the world who become involved, in some way, with athletes. Many of my previous lists involved ranking WAGs but this list is different because it involves me ranking women who are not currently a WAG. This was one of my favorite lists to make because many of these women have never been a WAG but are on the wish list of most male athletes ...

The Phoenix Suns gave the Los Angeles Lakers all they could handle before eventually falling in Game Six of the Western Conference Finals, as the Lakers went on to claim their third conference crown in as many years. The Lakers appear to be in position to make it four in a row unless some team in the West can prove it has the right balance of size, defense, scoring, and chemistry to unseat Los ...

Here's an early look at the top of the Western Conference, focusing on teams that can win 50 games or more next season. This list does not include the Phoenix Suns, who won 54 games last season and reached the Western Conference finals. My view is that adding Hedo Turkoglu and Josh Childress will not be enough to make up for the loss of Amar'e Stoudemire. (Click here for an overview of the East ...

ESPN has been the premier network when it comes to sports over the last 30 years. Whether you agree with the somewhat sensationalist direction it's taken in the last few years is another matter. But with shows like SportsCenter, Monday Night Football, Baseball Tonight, the Stanley Cup Finals, the Scripps National Spelling Bee, or the NBA or NFL Drafts, it's lived up to its namesake and provided ...
