Say goodbye to Linsanity, New York. Jeremy Lin is taking his game off Broadway -- way off -- to Houston after the Knicks announced Tuesday night they would not match the Rockets' three-year, $25 million offer for the restricted free agent.

ESPN has apologized for using a racial slur in a headline for a story on Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin.
