Monday's P.M. Hot Clicks: Courtney Riggs; Classic Photos of Kevin Garnett
Happy Retirement, KG
Lost in a busy sports weekend was the retirement of Kevin Garnett after 21 seasons in the NBA. If you have some extra time, read this 1995 Jack McCallum feature on KG, who had just turned 19 and was starting the new trend of jumping from high school to the NBA. If you don't have much time, read this (much shorter) piece on how Garnett transformed Kendrick Perkins from a shy player into a defensive monster. And if you're wondering about the photo above, the answer is yes. He would've gone to Michigan. (Click here for full-size gallery.)

Courtney Riggs: P.M. Lovely Lady of the Day
It's nearly October and I have yet to feature Courtney Riggs this year. That's not acceptable. She is this afternoon's LLOD (click for full-size gallery).

Big news. Levi’s now has NFL fan apparel available for all 32 NFL teams! The Levi’s NFL Collection will offer men’s and women’s apparel, incorporating four new pieces in classic Levi’s silhouettes (the NFL Trucker hat, Western Shirt, Moleskin overskirt and western sweatshirt). My favorite is the Western Shirt, and as luck would have it, I have five to give away.

Odds & Ends
Steven Adams had a great excuse for dodging Kevin Garnett's trash talk ... Love the Colts broadcaster blatantly swearing on air at the end of Sunday's game ... Another example of why Joe Maddon's players love him so much ... Funniest College GameDay signs of the weekend ... This will not help the $5 million lawsuit Al Sharpton's daughter filed against NYC ... Wonder what these Justin Bieber fans thought of their run-in with the singer ... How Arnold Palmer gave his name to his signature drink.
