I'm usually not one to pile onto mainstream news and to bury players of being humans. But this is just plain dumb, fellas.
According to reports, Jayhawks alums and fellow rookies Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers got busted at the NBA rookie transition program earlier today and were subsequently tossed. The two might face more disciplinary action from the League, but the embarrassment and ridicule likely to come should be punishment enough.
A good rule of thumb for a program about understanding reputation management, mitigating risk and being an ambassador for the League is not doing anything illegal on the first day of class.
Whether we agree or not, pot would still be on that not-quite-legal list. Apparently, this is like grade school sleepaway camp where no ladies are allowed in the cabins either. That would be 0-for-2 for the former NCAA Champions, as Chalmers and Arthur decided to spark a few and invite over some local ladies. Not the way you want to kick off your ...

NCAA Championship game
WHOOOO jayhawks all the way baby!! I knew they wouldn't let me down. Even though they were not even supposed to win that game. They won!!. I'm actually a Tar Heels fan but when it came down to rooting for the national champions... if any team can beat my Tarheels like that, I have to tip my hat off to them. Mario Chalmers came through in the clutch and it was funny because...
Mario Chalmers to Start for Miami Heat, Lead Dwyane Wade to Playoffs
Listening to Dwyane Wade speak earlier today from Beijing about the Heat, one gets the sense that some in the organization have told him that Mario Chalmers just might emerge as an opening-night starter. Wade's words: "I really believe in our point guard, Mario Chalmers. I think he can be great for us and surprise a lot of people." Center, though, is another issue to...
Top 5 Freshman Championship Game Performances
In spite of one very important missed free throw, Derrick Rose put on a show in the National Championship game on Monday. He scored 18 points, dished out eight assists, and grabbed six boards. If not for a Mario Chalmers fade away three pointer, Derrick Rose would have been your Final Four MOP. Even in a loss, it was one of the best freshman performances in the history of the NCAA...

Blazers/Grizzlies Pre-Thoughts
Blazer fans, time to take Jay-Z's advice and get that dirt off our shoulders. And by dirt I mean that not-so-fun last 24 minutes that took place in dirty south. I knew I could tie that in. Several things can help soften that Atlanta loss. For one, it was a weird early afternoon game on Sunday. Selection Sunday nearly erased it from my memories (for several reasons). Also, Utah...
