Americans are always there to save the day. A tsunami strikes? We'll ship supplies and lots of cash. An evil dictator needs to be overthrown? We'll invade the country on a whim.

I'm looking forward to this morning's matchup, even though there's no way Team USA could lose to a bunch of cryin' Spaniards.
In NBA news, Hornets backup guard Jannero Pargo is taking his skills to Moscow. And we've learned the Celtics did make an offer to Michael Finley, but he's staying with the Spurs.
