Stephen Curry Says He’s 53% Sure He’s Staying At Davidson

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Not sure how he came up with that number, but I still think he'll go pro.  I think he reminds me a bit of Ben Gordon in that he's not a true point guard, but has point guard size and can defend the point.  His success at the next level ...

Bill Buckner Deserved Better

Friday, March 27th, 2009

For close to twenty years Bill Buckner was a curse word in Boston.  You couldn't utter his name without infuriating Red Sox fan and drudging up awful memories from the 1986 World Series collapse.  Unfortunately, when a team blows a championship in such stunning fashion, there needs to be a ...

Jeff Pearlman Writes a Book on Roger Clemens

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Roger Clemens is a fascinating figure.  Why would someone who was a sure fire first ballot Hall of Famer risk his legacy by taking steroids?  It's the question everyone wants to know and it's a lot more complicated than just saying he has a huge ego. Author Jeff Pearlman of SI and ...

Ron Artest, A Changed Man?

Friday, March 27th, 2009

It is a contract year, which means athletes are always on their best behavior.  Artest remains one of the more interesting players in the league with his ability to play three positions on offense and guard four positions on defense. Guest blogger Tas Melas of The Basketball Jones actually got excited, ...

What Happened To All The Good American Men’s Tennis Players

Friday, March 27th, 2009

I used to love to watch tennis as a kid.  I used to go watch it live at the US Pro Indoor in Philadelphia every year.  The best players in men's tennis always included a few Americans.  John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors were great personalities and even better tennis players.  They ...

Lance Berkman Ready To Rake Again In ’09

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Lance Berkman doesn't quite get the same national publicity that some of the other big bats in the Big Leagues. That's not to say he's totally off the radar, but if you think about the type of numbers he's put up for the Astros in recent years, you'd think we'd ...

If Only He Had Smaller Feet

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Chris Webber is known for the timeout.  Jim Marshall is known for running the ball into the wrong endzone.  Both great players, but remembered more for their huge gaffe than their play on the court and on the field.  While the pro career of Lazar Hayward of Marquette is up ...

Game On! We Venture Into Hockey

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

I honestly feel bad that we here at SRI haven't posted more interviews with hockey players.  There's a few reasons for that: one being that there aren't a ton of hockey interviews taking place on sports radio and two being I'm not really passionate or very literate when it comes ...

Deion Sanders Joins Michael Irvin

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Deion + The Playmaker. That's two guys who love to talk so I'll just step out of the way and let them do their thing. The following is an exchange about the release of Terrell Owens and why Jerry Jones' recent comments about making decisions based on what would be ...
