All-Star Break Recap: Nets are bad, Knicks are worse
Have you ignored basketball this year until now? Don't worry, Gothamist Sports has sympathy for you, the casual hoops fan. Now that NFL season is over and the NHL doesn't even bother to play, we've assembled a half-season recap to help you catch up.
Where to Watch College Football in NYC
Fight songs, cow bells, school colors and several of your fellow fans. We've done a little legwork and compiled a list of some schools that gather on fall Saturdays to watch their teams play. Thanks to all the clubs that responded to our e-mails. The list is nowhere near comprehensive, so if we missed anything, feel free to leave it in the comments.

NYC Remembers September 11's Third Anniversary
The victims of September 11 were remembered this morning at Ground Zero in lower Manhattan. Parents and grandparents read the names of those lost, as families and friends were able to walk down a ramp and lay flowers at the lowest part the World Trade Center, which is now a construction site for the new World Trade Center development. Lydia Polgreen's article about the morning's ceremony rang true for us: Gothamist was near Ground Zero after the ceremony, we saw many police officers and fire fighters in dress uniform, as well as families wearing pins with photographs of their loved ones, walking amongst the people running their errands and families getting apple cider donuts at the TriBeCa greenmarket. It's definitely a day to remember and continue to heal (we were incredibly moved by the reading of the names and seeing people write messages to their loved ones on the sides of the temporary reflecting pools set up in the pit), but it's also a day for living as well.
Gothamist's Div. 1A Top 15
With the first full week of college football now over, Gothamist Sports proudly unveils our first Top 15 ranking for college football. Ranking the top 15 this early is obviously a crap-shoot, but that's never stopped anyone before. It's difficult to rank teams early in the season, but we gave it a shot, so don't take it personally if your team is lower than you think they should be.

Soccer Women Start Games
It's somewhat strange that an Olympic event would take place before the opening ceremonies of the games, but that's just what happened yesterday. The United States defeated Greece, the host country, in women's soccer, 3-0. Wednesday was the first day of Olympic action and women's soccer is the only event before the opening ceremonies.

Help Wanted - Inquire Within
Here at Gothamist Sports, we're looking for another person to join our "team". We would like someone who loves football and could ideally write 4 entries a week on the Jets and Giants. The job is unpaid, but you would get to have your name all over your column and a bio - sounds great, no?
The B Train, Brought To You By Bloomberg
Luo's article points out that some subway stations are already branded: The 116th station is associated with Columbia University, 47-50 Street is Rockefeller Center, and Times Square is really named after the Times. Some other stations are branded, though not officially: Bedford is Hipster City; Seventh Avenue in Park Slope is MacLaren Baby Stroller Row; and on some game nights, the 7 is the Mets Express. The NY Times also speaks with people about the possibility of sponsored subway stations: "That's insane."
Democratic National Convention 2004
The NY Times had special Democratic Convention section, in addition to their Campaign 2004 site. And here's the Washington Post's extensive convention site. Talking Points Memo's Joshua Micah Marshall writes how MSNBC's convention coverage site (here) has "absorbed the blogging model to something like a mind-bending degree." It's true - MSNBC has a blog, Hardblogger, (heh!) and Gothamist was shocked Chris Matthews' posts weren't in all caps or bold....an assistant must have posted 'em.

On Down, One To Go
The NBA's Expansion Draft was held last night, so now Charlotte Bobcats have the beginnings of a roster. They chose a total of 19 players, but most of them will not be with the team on opening night next year. The Bobcats chose nine restricted free agents, which automatically turned them into unrestricted free agents, allowing those nine players to negotiate a new contract with any team in the league except for the team that left them unprotected in the draft. Got that? Click here for the rest of the expansion draft rules.
Gothamist Sports in Full Swing
The coverage at Gothamist Sports has really been heating up, what with the Cyclones' season starting, the Yankees gearing up for the Subway Series, and U.S. Open prognosticating starting with Wimbledon underway. But, if we do say so ourselves, the piece de resistance of late is the Gothamist 2004 Mock NBA Draft, put together by Kyle Gustafson. The NBA Draft will be aired this Thursday night, from Madison Square Garden, and it's getting exciting, especially now that the Lakers are falling apart. [Aside: Our new word for a non-team player is "Laker."] And we almost forgive the NBA for getting rid of John Tesh's NBA theme song! Excellent work, Kyle, Tien, and Chris!
