Joe Netsfan's All-Punk Weekend
Celebrated in style. Four rosters packed with fun (All-Star Weekend, Feb. 10 & 11, 2001).
All-Punk - Dedicated to those whose attitudes or indiscretions match or exceed their games.
All-Unsung - These are the guys who turn foundering NBA teams into sea-worthy winners.
All-Fly - Flossin' and tossin'. Line up behind the velvet ropes.
All-Headband - Flop-sweat fashion. The fad that's sweeping the league.

Season in the Abyss
The Nets go to hell. Four game round-up of Nets games lost over the December holidays, when all hope of ascending to playoff heaven was quashed. (Jan. 2, 2001)

Crisis Desk
Chalupas for All. Joe and Champagne cover the losing streak that led off the second half of the Nets' season. Hand-wringing dialogue on what went wrong on a slide that started with a brutal 0-5 West Coast swing. (Feb. 3, 2001)

Almost Paradise
A Joe's-eye view from (nearly courtside). Joe and Champagne get as close to the action as they've been all year...and by action, we (mostly) ain't talking basketball. Includes "Smells like a hamster cage down here," Joe screams at a cheerleader, and Mitch Richmond speaking in tongues. (Feb. 25, 2001)
