Bob Hille's starting 5

(1)

The Super Bowl Houston has every detail covered, right down to on-site interpreters for the English-speaking media wanting to interview Bum Phillips.

(2)

The Knicks. Man, Isiah Thomas has shaken things up. Players are gone. The coach was canned. Now I hear Spike Lee is on the block.

(3)

Roger Clemens. Suddenly he's hated in the Big Apple, so at least Boston baseball fans can gloat that they beat New York to something if not at something.

(4)

The Angels. Their big-ticket signings are Hot Stove topic No. 1 in L.A. In all fairness to the Dodgers, though, their new ownership group has been waiting to hear from LendingTree.com.

(5)

Shaq. There are concerns that his chronic injuries are related. The official medical report: The toe bone's connected to the calf bone, and the calf bone's connected to the buffet bone.
