Big Z Comes Out in Support of Mike Brown

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

The Cleveland Cavaliers were the best team in the NBA in the regular season, they won over 60 games for the second straight year, and they had the two-time MVP on their side.  They went into the playoffs with high expectations, but their dream season turned into a nightmare thanks ...

Chris Dudley Takes His Act to Politics

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

For the exact same reasons that made him just an average basketball player, Chris Dudley may just have a shot at winning the Oregon gubernatorial race this fall. What does that mean? I don't know actually. I just know that Dudley was kind of a stiff as an NBA center. ...

Steve Spagnuolo Has A Long Road To Haul

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Since moving from Los Angeles, the St. Louis Rams have been marred by inconsistency having only posted just four winning seasons over the last fifteen years.  So what do you do to turn this franchise around?  You hire Steve Spagnuolo, the former defensive coordinator of the New York Giants that ...

Alvin Gentry Won’t Stray Away From the Zone

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Just about every basketball fan in the country thought the Lakers were going to run away with the Western Conference and sweep the Suns.  It wasn’t until Sunday night that the Suns showed signs of life and that they aren’t going to go down without a fight.  After getting torched ...

The Writing is on the Wall on who the Wizards Will Take With the #1 Pick in the NBA Draft

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

When John Wall arrived at Kentucky this year, he came with a ton of hype surrounding him and he more than lived up to it in his only season at Kentucky.  He was the second best player in America and helped lead the Wildcats to 35 wins and back into ...

The Bachelorette is Hotter than Ever

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

On the wings of love... If you watched the last season of The Bachelor - like I may or may not have - you probably still have that song in your head. Fortunately, we are past the season of the Jeffery Osborne commercial/least interesting main character in an actually interesting and ...

Doug Collins Makes it Four Teams in Four Different Decades

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Fourth time's a charm? After stints in Chicago (in the '80s in his 30s), Detroit (in the '90s in his 40s) and Washington (last decade in his 50s), Doug Collins has been hired as the new head coach for the Philadelphia 76ers. He's a solid 23 games over .500 with ...

Terez Owens Struggling to Win his 15 Minutes of Fame

Monday, May 24th, 2010

There was a brief debate amongst us here at SRI about whether or not to bother posting this, but ultimately we decided that we're not in the business of passing judgment or trying to break stories as a site, simply to aggregate the most interesting/controversial/informative/funny sports radio interviews each week. ...

Trent Edwards Has One More Chance

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Trent Edwards is entering his fourth season in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills and he is also in the last year of his rookie contract.  To me, Edwards hasn’t done anything to prove that he is worthy of becoming Buffalo’s franchise quarterback.  His whole career has been filled by ...

Tim Donaghy: “Yes Dick Bavetta clearly manipulated that game to put the L.A. Lakers at a clear advantage to help them get to a game seven.”

Monday, May 24th, 2010

I have never thought the NBA was fixed.  I still don’t think the NBA is fixed, but I do believe that there is “superstar treatment” and the superstars will always get the benefit of the whistle.  And this is nothing new either.  LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, ...
