As I sit and wonder if we can't get Matt Harpring's unguaranteed contract for Ridnour and a future consideration. (Answer? Yes.) I look and see all sorts of possibilites for the draft.Shaquille O' Neal is a Cavalier. And if the Cavaliers follow the Phoenix playbook in terms...

Bill Simmons is an idiot. Now that I've let that sink in? Let me tell you why. Because I may not have a book deal, but I have to tell you, this is the first time I've actually seen the Bucks work with a logical plan to do something beyond finishing 7th in the Eastern Conference...
UPDATE: HEIR TO BEEF JERKY FORTUNE FLIPPED FOR JARVIS VANARDO CLONE!

It's a small deal, but it's a deal you have to like. Fabricio Oberto is a 34 year-old Argentinean Back-Up Center. Amir Johnson is a 4 who makes big bold plays. His frame and game remind me of the delightful Mississippi State low-post presence that is Jarvis Vanardo. And the...

Okay, the Argentinean back-up center isn't really a part of the frito-lay family. And in terms of direct value? This is about 30 cents on the dollar for RJ. I mean, Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Fabricio? Outside of crippling the Spurs frontcourt depth? They win the deal. Great...

Now these have a tendency to be like darts. I mean, I can see good things out of this years class even if no one else can. But I'm not claiming expertise at least not here. Last year I knew a dude who worked for the Nets. This year? Nothing.1. Los Angeles Clippers: Blake Griffin...

Even if you didn't? I know you would have. For you have no idea about the sheer pulse-pounding magic that is Chris Heisey. He is the next Nelson Cruz, after all.Or failing that? Eric Byrnes.Feel the magic.

A lefty sidearmer is not storming the nation with his maniacal skills. And he's broken the record for most consecutive strikeouts. Okay, I don't know if he's got the record. But Mitch Stetter deserves respect. Mitch Stetter deserves your love.I mean, 11 consecutive strikeouts...

The most sporty thing I can think of right now is just how I cannot accept Kobe Bryant as a Basketball Saint. It's not a balls to the wall thing. He has said **** it to the Lakers on four seperate occasions. And I honestly don't know that it's because the Lakers are my...

This is what went on in Iran today. After one of the most naked cases of fraud at the polls in recent memory, the Iranian people are trying to change the game. The rumor is that Mousavi beat Ahmenidijad by 12 million votes. (He finished 3rd.) And this could be the beginning of somthing special.

They have a very interesting decision to make here. Really, I know most of the people in America could not give a crap about this team. But this is a team that has the potential to look a lot different. You could see a fading superstar moving on. You may have a lady or the tiger decision...

It's true! I'll give you a second to process that.Okay, now this wasn't as egregious as previous situations (2002 Western Conference Finals, 2006 NBA Finals.) The Magic hit their free throws? It would be a 2-2 series. But they didn't. So the game went to overtime. But...

He has an absolute right to be angry. PED is the scarlet acronym of baseball. And just because he went from a strong pitchers park on a crappy team to a bandbox on a great team doesn't mean he did anything untoward to get there. But it doesn't mean it doesn't. Especially...

And that is something that I firmly believe. Let me explain the logic. Lou Brown was the Manager in Major League. He was supposed to lead the Indians to Miami. But behind the power pitching of Ricky Vaughn and the Ecksteinish intangibles of Jake Taylor. Lou Brown brought home a division...

Let me just say this. This is today. It's between three months and forever until these guys make the bigs. And for the Brewers, there's a bad history at the position they drafted. I may be the last one who's still not over Nick Neugebauer not making it. But I say this...
