Gavin Maloof On Sacramento Returning To Glory

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Deep down, Gavin Maloof and the Maloof family can't be happy they fell three spots in the NBA Draft lottery to the number four pick.  After finishing with the worst record, you'd have to be stupid to expect anything different, however.  In only two of the last 21 draft lotteries ...

Hmmm, Think The Mariners Want A Do Over To Select Tim Lincecum

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

If a team passes on Tim Lincecum to draft you, the expectations are going to be extremely high. Brandon Morrow was drafted by the Seattle Mariners to one day become a front of the rotation starter, although injuries along the way have derailed that plan and Morrow begun the 2009 ...

Chris Cooley, Possibly the Most Entertaining Man in America

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

It's hard not to love Chris Cooley, even if you don't care for the Washington Redskins. And really, who cares for the Redskins? Am I right, Panthers fans?! Seriously though, the Redskins are always interesting because they're in a huge market, they owned southern football fans for years, and they're ...

George Brett’s Probably Enjoying the Royals Not Being Horrible

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

George Brett is a hothead. Which is why I like him even more than I should. He's also one of the few remnants/reminders of when the Royals didn't suck.  Now, they're good again this year, of course, but it's been a looong time coming. And Brett recently got into a little ...

Doc Rivers On KG’s Importance, Changes Needed, And His Future

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

I hate how the Boston Celtics went out this season - I wanted to see them defend their title with the full arsenal that won it all last year.  The common sports cliche is that one of the hardest things to do in sports is to repeat as champions.  I'd ...

Kurt Warner, Still a Cardinal, Talks Super Bowl

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Kurt Warner was never leaving Arizona (in my humble opinion) despite the shoddy, shoddy way the Cardinals treated him in off-season negotiations this summer. That's an indictment of the Arizona organization, obviously, and not Warner's negotiations skills. Because negotiation isn't where his true talent lies, obviously; it's in throwing the football. ...

Amare Stoudemire’s Future In Phoenix Is Cloudy

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

The title of this post is nothing new to Phoenix Suns fans.  During this past season, it appeared almost imminent that Stoudemire would be traded.  After dealing Shawn Marion, Boris Diaw, and Raja Bell, it was clear that the unit assembled by former GM Bryan Colangelo was bring replenished by ...

Oscar Robertson On LeBron

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

With the Eastern Conference Finals set to tip off Wednesday evening in Cleveland, let's check in with Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson to get his take on just how well Cavaliers superstar LeBron James is playing at the moment. King James has most often been compared to 'Big O' - ...

Clippers Win The Lottery And Basketball Fans Mourn For Blake Griffin

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

It's pretty tough to feel bad for a guy that's going to make millions of dollars guaranteed and be selected number one overall in the 2009 NBA Draft, but visions of Blake Griffin in a Clippers uniform make me sick to my stomach.  With the Arizona Cardinals making the Super ...

Darren McFadden Will Love Lorenzo Neal

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

The fullback position is archaic in the NFL. You typically see three wide receivers or two tight ends more than you see a fullback , and fans would rather see more plays similar to their Madden video game as opposed to the fullback lead block around the weak side. Lorenzo ...
