PLAYERS: Charlie Villanueva
TEAMS: Detroit Pistons

Hello there, Mr. Villa...umm...Villanewva? I do hope that's right. I'm Preston Von Grippe, and I just wanted to come and welcome you to the area. It has been AGES since we had a professional athlete around here. They have all the money in the world, but just no taste. Quite a shame. Might I enter your backyard?(Preston opens the gate to the fence and saunters gingerly in to Charlie Villanueva's backyard, where he finds Charlie in his new hot tub.)Oh, for shame, Charlie. Here in the Hamptons, we would never have something as ostentatious as a champagne hot tub. And the rope is SO garish. Obviously, you're "new money." Not that that's a problem. It's just...obvious.It is Charlie, right? I suspect your parents called you Charlie, didn't they? That's too bad. Charles is such a nice, mature, respectable name. In fact, my mummy's father is named Charles. That's where I got the name for my yacht after all. But don't mind...

Allen Iverson's Options: Money or Playoffs

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 19, 2009
What a difference a year makes. A year ago Allen Iverson was playing for the Denver Nuggets, making $20 million, and was considered a top 10-15 player. Fast forward a year later after playing for the Detroit Pistons and Iverson is viewed as the black plague that the league should avoid. Now a free agent at the age of 34, Iverson can't even get a decent offer from a title-contending...

To Hold On Tight We Must Let Go

Via Free Darko  |  July 20, 2009
The days are not good for Allen Iverson. The one-time beacon of personal integrity, triumphal dysfunction, and "**** the world" stylistic rights currently sits out in the cold. He's hoping some team will look past his recent disappointments, figure several accelerated half-lives have made his legacy less radioactive, and give him a chance to make a roster like a blaxploitation...

Will Chris Wilcox be the next Ben Wallace?

Via theDSQ.com  |  July 21, 2009
We really don't know much about his work ethic yet. Big Ben's was legendary.  As for his game, Wilcox is far more athletic than Wallace but not as good defensively. Continued. . .
