I don’t understand why NBA players don’t get together and workout with each other during the lockout. Going overseas is not a good solution. First of all, NBA players are SO much better than foreign players that it won’t be much of a challenge. Second, European teams often fail to pay their players. Third, if […]

The Dolphins made a good pickup in getting Reggie Bush. I’m not sure what it is with the NFL, but it’s so quick to give up on its young draft picks. Does anyone remember Bush at USC? He was drawing comparisons to Ladainian Tomlinson. Now, everyone thinks he’s a bust. He’s never gotten the carries […]

I have been astounded by the lack of creativity journalists have exercised in their coverage of Derek Jeter in recent months. Either the story is a complete list of all the reasons Derek sucks now, or it’s a grandiose description of what Jeter’s 3000th hit means for baseball. Jeter was bound to get old, and […]

The Knicks made a typical Knicks move a month ago. They drafted Iman Shumpert, an unknown player who was not expected to go until the middle of the second round, if at all. Now, I’m not going to predict that he sucks, because he doesn’t. He can play defense, he’s athletic, and it seems like […]

The problem with Japan winning the World Cup is that they just weren’t the better team, and the U.S. dominated the whole game. It just doesn’t seem right…

The Giants recently released two classic Giants, Rich Seubert and Shaun O’Hara. I can’t say I blame them. Both guys are coming off surgeries and are getting old. It doesn’t matter if who they are, they are not exempt from the business that is professional sports. Every fan claims he/she understands that sports is a […]

I’m so happy the NFL lockout is over – I don’t think I could’ve lived without basketball and football. I’m glad the players came out on top. I heard Mike Francesa say on his radio show the other day that the NBA lockout was much more called for and justifiable than the NFL lockout…I completely disagree! […]

The Atlanta Hawks are really struggling and the way they look right now makes me think that they’re headed for a first round exit in the playoffs. The Mike Bibby for Kirk Hinrich trade was a good move, so why are they still one of the most inconsistent teams in the league? Sometimes they look […]

Last night I went to the Heat game versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. Great game, lots of outstanding plays. I was really impressed that in the Thunder’s win they held the Heat to a mere 85 points. They really play good defense, and they have a lot of size in Serge Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins, Nazr Mohammed […]
