Steve Nash is from Canada, but that doesn't mean he's looking for a hockey game.

The latest hard hit to the Suns' two-time MVP came in the fourth quarter of Monday's Game 4, when Robert Horry sent Nash sailing into the scorer's table with a flagrant foul -- a hit Nash called a "body check" in a postgame interview.

In Game 3, Bruce Bowen appeared to send a knee into Nash's groin, an offense that was not fineable or worthy of a suspension, in the eyes of the NBA.

That came on the heels of Amare Stoudemire calling the Spurs a "dirty team" and accusing Bowen of intentionally trying to hurt him.

So as the hotly contested series heads back to Phoenix for Game 5, we thought we'd hear what you think.

Are the Spurs a dirty team? Should Horry (or any of the Suns who came onto the court after the incident) be sitting on the bench for Game 5? Or are the run-and-gun Suns just too soft for postseason basketball?

Several Packers and league sources have told FOXSports.com's Jay Glazer that Brett Favre's agent Bus Cook phoned Green Bay's general manager Ted Thompson within two to three days of the draft and asked for a trade. The sources said that Cook railed off how his client was fed up with the organization and wanted out.

The request appears related to the team's inability to acquire Randy Moss.

Is Favre right to request a trade?

If the Packers granted this request, where would Favre even go?

Dirk Nowitzki had an awesome regular season and deserves a lot of credit for guiding the Mavs to 67 wins.

Whether or not he deserves the MVP is another story. And apparently it's one we'll have to debate, since somebody in Dallas has let the cat out of the bag.

Dirk becomes the first European to win it; but chances are he'll be remembered for winning it the same year his Mavs suffered a historic first-round playoff loss.

Not since Moses Malone 25 years ago has an MVP winner had his team lose in the first round of the playoffs. But hey, Moses Malone is pretty good company to have.

So what do you think? Is he the real MVP? If not, who would you take instead ... and how would you avoid this in the future?

Amanda Beard has posed in the SI swimsuit issue. She's also been featured in an FHM photo layout. And now the three-time Olympian is crossing that blurry line that female athletes so often seem to have to contend with.

She's appearing in Playboy.

Beard's decision will undoubtedly kick start yet another debate over whether these types of photo shoots help or hurt women's athletics. But Michael Rosenberg argues it doesn't hurt female athletes as much as it reveals how society sees them -- as famous women first and as athletes a distant second.

What do you think?

As Barry Bonds steadily draws closer to Hank Aaron's all-time home run record, plans to celebrate the moment (at least outside of San Francisco) are moving forward at a much slower pace.

As in almost non-existent.

As Dayn Perry reports, the commissioner's office and the handful of teams deemed to be possible hosts for this historic event aren't exactly fired up to be a part of the celebration.

Is this right? Should MLB and its teams be more fired up to be a part of history? Or is it only right that the cloud of scandal that perpetually hovers over Bonds' head rain on his parade should he not have the good fortune to break Aaron's mark at home?
