Dallas Mavericks 86, Miami Heat 83. In what will be known as the Fever Game, Dirk Nowitzki — battling a sinus infection that had his temperature rising as high as 101 or 102, depending on the report — shook off early game struggles and once again took over the fourth quarter. He scored 10 points, including the game-winner with 14 seconds left. Tyson Chandler also came through with 16 rebounds. I did my part by staying ambulatory. The series is tied 2-2.

American Eagle Employee Investigated For Pocketing Fake Fees. Sort of a genius scam because it would certainly be hard to pick out fake overcharging from legitimate overcharging. If I went to airport and put on a blue blazer, I’m pretty sure I could get a few people to pony up a $14 ground to air conversion fee. In unrelated news, I will be out of the office today. And I need to borrow a blue blazer.

Also, I See You Big German. Yep.
