Magic's lack of "energy" is an embarrassment

The fact is we'll never know why Junior Seau took his own life.

Only he knows for sure.


All of the neophyte psychologists and amateur concussion experts can try to make sense of it, but it is fruitless.

There is no making sense out of a senseless act like suicide.

Mail bonding

Most interesting reader retorts, tangy tweets and message-board mockery of the week:

•On Glen Davis coming up with the Magic's "We All We Got" playoff mantra: "The way the rest of the starters are playing, Davis should change the mantra to 'I'm All We Got.' "

•On the Tom Petty song that best describes Magic's Game 3 performance against Pacers: "Free Fallin' "

•On college football bigwigs announcing that a college football playoff is likely on the way: "Glad they finally came to the conclusion that everybody else came to 10 years ago."

Notable quotables

In honor of Dr. Shaq earning his PhD from Barry University, three of my favorite quotes from when Shaq wasn't "The Big Intellectual" he is today.

•"I can't really remember the name of all the clubs that we went to." — Shaq when asked if he had gone to the Parthenon during his visit to Greece.

•"My game is like the Pythagorean Theorem. Nobody has the answer." — Shaq failing to realize that everybody has the answer to the Pythagorean Theorem ( a2 + b2 = c2).

•"I've won at every level except college or pro." — Shaq before winning an NBA championship
