With the Miami Heat picking second in the coming NBA draft, they figure to take whoever the Bulls don’t out of the consensus top-2 available — Michael Beasley and Derrick Rose. Well, that would make sense since the Heat have needs at point guard and in the front court. But apparently Chad Ford of ESPN.com [...]
Penalty kicks in soccer are basically the equivalent to Russian Roulette. There’s pretty much a 50/50 chance at the possible outcomes: Glory/relief or disappointment/death. It’s an even better analogy for the Champions League final between Manchester United and Chelsea due to the locale where their spectacular game went down — Moscow, the capital of Russia.
And [...]
The NBA has been long accused of manipulating outcomes of certain events to keep fans interested in certain teams and matchups; these playoffs will be a good test to see if some “divine” intervention is taking place.
The undisputable dream finals would be Celtics-Lakers, shades of an age-old rivalry reborn in the modern era. It would [...]
Well, it’s getting pretty hard to bet against Boston at home, even if they have been playing almost every other day for the past few days. But despite warring with LeBron and the Cavs in Game 7 of round two on Sunday, they came out ready for the Pistons and played a good game all [...]
If had told me at the beginning of the season that the Chicago Bulls would win the lottery, I wouldn’t have believed you for a second. Hell, I had figured that they’d win the East. Their end result was the exact opposite.
With a 1.7% chance to win the first overall pick in the draft, the [...]
Quick thought after reading that Jon Lester threw a no-hitter for the Red Sox tonight: Should it count if it comes against the Royals? Sure they are the laughingstock that they used to be they should still be considered nothing more than triple-A calibre squadron.
Also, how many people care that this was the 18th Red [...]
O.J. Mayo is in quite the pickle. The same can be said about his alma mater, USC and event the NCAA after this recent payola/recruiting scandal. But who has it the worst? I think you’d be surprised.
Mayo, a highly touted, high potential, basketball player coming out of high school, was probably the most sought after [...]
Well, since no major female athletes have retired since my last post, I’m pretty thin on subjects. Well that was at least until Ricky Williams reared his pot-addled head.
In case you haven’t been keeping up with NFL arrest news, about two weeks back, Bears running back Cedric Benson was arrested for boating while intoxicated and [...]
How does Delonte West not inbound the ball in time? Seriously. That was I moment when you could tell there was no way the Cavs were going to win, if not earlier.
If they’re only getting nine points from six players that came off the bench, are the Celtics a serious contender? They keep on showing [...]
Well, just a day after what I jokingly called a shocking retirement in the world of women’s sports, an actual one surprised everyone.
Justine Henin, the world’s number one women’s tennis player, walked away from the game. Henin, who is only 25 years old, quit just a week and a half before the French Open; an [...]
