It’s a tough spot that both Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets are in right now. Quite a unique one as well. Yao, who is the most recognizable Chinese person in the world (come on, he’s 7′6″) has a stress fracture in the foot and will be out for the rest of the NBA season. [...]
I will give the NHL credit where it is due, which is not in many areas, but their trade deadline is probably the second most exciting in the sports world. Major League Baseball is first because there are a lot more buyers and sellers than in hockey, due to the retarded amount of parity combined [...]
There’s a reason that most sports, leagues and teams consistently stray from including no-trade and no-movement clauses in a player’s contract. It’s because it is dumb. Why would a team willing put itself in a situation where their hands are completely and utterly tied. When should the employee have complete control of a situation [...]
It may be common knowledge or it may not be, but the whitewash is becoming a rare phenomenon in the NBA. What exactly is a whitewash you may ask? Well it was what you could a team that fields a five-man squad of white players. It may sound racist to some, but come on, it’s [...]
In case you couldn’t recall, last year’s NBA trade deadline was a complete and udder dud. In fact, the headline on this site was “DEADline”, because, quite frankly, three deals involving a total of four players (the biggest name being moved was Juan Dixon). This year was quite a contrast.
Cleveland made the biggest move of [...]
It’s a rivalry that may be bigger than what some teams endure. Two players, former friends and teammates, who led the Los Angeles Lakers to what many consider dynasty-dom, had a falling out and words were exchanged that can’t be taken back. Kobe Bryant, in own his prima-donna way, forced Shaq out of town so [...]
Spring training has arrived folks, just in time to draw some interest in the sporting world in that pesky gap between the Super Bowl and the NCAA tournament. Yes, those lucky dogs who get paid, for the majority of their time, to stand around and wait for things to happen get an all-expenses paid trip [...]
After quite the all-star weekend that more than lived up to its expectations, the NBA season’s “second half.” Of course it’s not the real second half of the season literally because all teams have already played more than half of their 82-game schedule, but who’s complaining? What can we expect from rest of the 2007-08 [...]
With the news of Jason Kidd apparently heading to the Mavericks – up to the point that he left the Nets and actually got on a plane to Dallas – and then the subsequent blocking of the trade by Devean George, why not do a little win some-lose some about the whole situation?
Win some: Devean [...]
After a few hours worth of testimony to the grand jury along with accuser/former trainer Brian McNamee, Roger Clemens’ public image is not looking very hot. He’s cooking, but not in the good way. One could even say his pants are literally on fire. It would explain why he came off as nervous when being [...]
