The Four Elements of Great Primaries (Oct. 2, 2009) The Fix's top 10 list of best intraparty battles.

First "Paris Hilton" Reference

So far, 22 picks have been made in the draft. Nearly one third of those chosen come from either Florida (Horford, Brewer, Noah) and Ohio State (Oden, Conley, Cook) -- the two teams who played for the national title. Having seen that game in person, I can tell you it was a stunning display of athletic ability.

Also, we had our first "Paris Hilton" reference of the night. Will there be more?
