Cheers
•To the Sonic owners, who are fighting fire with fire by using Seattle e-mails against the city, charging collusion in trying to bleed the franchise of funds.

•To Big Brown's name. A big-horse name befits the Kentucky Derby champ.

•To the Mavericks' pursuit of Rick Carlisle. If you're going to fire a successful coach like Avery Johnson, you better replace him with a winner, and Carlisle has been a winner in both Detroit and Indianapolis.

Jeers
•To Xavier Henry playing in an AAU tournament Friday with a stress fracture before sitting out the next two days. Hey, Xavier, it's summer ball. No reason to play hurt and risk what promises to be a fabulous career.

•To Texas-ex Cedric Benson, charged with failing a sobriety test while operating a boat and resisting arrest. Benson's future with the Chicago Bears already was cloudy, with the Bears drafting Tulane tailback Matt Forte in the second round. Now Benson has given the Bears another reason to get rid of him.

•To Jerry Jones' defense of signing NFL bad boy Pacman Jones, saying "You do make mistakes ... it's not the end of the world.” What Pacman needs to hear, and what Cowboy fans deserve to hear, is Jones saying Pacman is a punk who can cover NFL flankers, so he's got one shot, and one shot only, to make it in Dallas.
