While watching the 2008 NBA Draft last week, I could not help myself from drawing a connection between Brady Quinn and Darrell Arthur. Sure, they are not the same color and do not even play the same sport, but both had to go through the agonizing experience of having ESPN cameras flash their lights on […]
J.J. Redick is stuck somewhere between a rock and a hard place. His agent, Arn Tellem, has been busy dealing with his huge stable of draft-eligible clients over the past month and will likely not have his load lessened any time in the near future. Meanwhile, Redick wants out of Orlando, but the Magic have […]
On Monday, the Denver Nuggets officially announced that All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony will miss the first two games of next year’s season. The suspension stems back to his DUI charge late in the previous season, when Melo was pulled over on I-25. In court, Anthony plead guilty to lesser charges of driving while ability impaired […]

With the 2008 NBA draft only days away, the trade rumors and pre-draft jitters by teams have already begun to fly around the league. One rumor that we are starting to hear that may be a real possibility is the Memphis Grizzlies trading the rights to the #5 pick and the hefty contract of Purdue […]

Yesterday, Darren Rovell reported that none of the players who will be selected at the top of the NBA Draft this Thursday had signed a deal with a shoe company. Are we panicking prematurely, however? There certainly is not a Lebron James type personality in this draft, but perhaps the players are going back and […]
Three out of the big four American professional sports have gone through the process of selecting a new class of rookies for the start of their respective next seasons. The only sport left is basketball, which will conduct its yearly draft on Thursday, June 26th. The television coverage should be a little more exciting than […]
I am not shocked to read the plethora of clippings that claim Derrick Rose is done with his workout tour after only showing his skills off to the Bulls. I was also not blown away when I read Rose politicking more than Barack Obama and John McCain in an effort to have Chicago sign the […]
Two days before the Boston Celtics beat killed destroyed slaughtered massacred the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals to win the championship, Marc J.
