 Flattops, Afros, Euros and Oligarchs: How the NBA’s End Begins
Flattops, Afros, Euros and Oligarchs: How the NBA’s End Begins
A confession about my newspaper-reading habits. Even in tough times–actually, especially in tough times–I immediately open to the sports section, trying to avoid the headlines screaming about the world’s problems. But lately, basketball news hasn’t provided a refuge from stories about stagflation and the dollar’s drop.

 LOOGY’s Are Getting Me Excited
LOOGY’s Are Getting Me Excited
As I touched on yesterday, the Cardinals are all over the rumor mill - especially when it comes to left-handed relievers. That’s no surprise, considering Ron Villone (1-2, 4.75 ERA) and Randy Flores (1-0, 4.95 ERA) have been less than impressive.

 A Happy Wizard
A Happy Wizard
Before I let my giddiness get the best of me, here is a disclaimer. I know that the Cardinals current five-game winning streak has come against the lowly Pirates and Padres and that the rest of this month’s schedule (four at home with Milwaukee, three on the road against the Mets and four on the road against the Braves) will be a much better gauge of how good this team really is.

 Feeding the Football Fix
Feeding the Football Fix
My calendar tells me it’s mid-July, the dog days of summer. In the sports world, that means baseball’s trade deadline is right around the corner, NFL training camps will be popping up any day now, and the Olympics begin in only a few weeks. We just finished watching a historic NBA Finals, a classic Wimbledon final, and a never-ending MLB All-Star game.

 Did Beckham take Brady or Zidane to the ESPYs?
Did Beckham take Brady or Zidane to the ESPYs?
While David Beckham is most likely enjoying a romantic honeymoon with French footballer Zinedine Zidane, it was Landon Donovan who got the shaft at the 2008 ESPY awards. Who am I to question the great and powerful ESPYs? While David Beckham is likely the prettiest player in the MLS (as evident by the ESPY nod), I don’t think you can hand over the Best Player award to Becks so casually

 Looking Forward
Looking Forward
The deliciously 10-games-over-.500 Redbirds continue to surprise - just ask anyone in the media. I’m beginning to believe that literally no one expected this, at least no one that has come forward yet. Even the hometown media is befuddled by St. Louis’ 53-43 first half.

The Brain Leak
With my creative fluids replenished, The Leak fine-tunes itself for a mid-summer charge and stands unfazed by the oppressive swelter of the annual Midwest “Humidity Fest.” It is truly that wretched time of year when a majority of the country falls victim to brutally high dew points and even the most adamant of narcissists shudder in ...

 Summer Vacation: The Fantasy Dilemma
Summer Vacation: The Fantasy Dilemma
When you hear the word “vacation” what comes to mind? Chevy Chase trekking across the country in the “ The Wagonqueen Family Truckster ” to the fictionalized Walley World amusement park in the classic 1983 movie “Vacation”?

 World Cup 2010 USA?
World Cup 2010 USA?
The 2010 World Cup has been scheduled to take place in South Africa, but as of late FIFA has made it clear that that they do have a plan B . They say it’s necessary in case of a natural disaster, but it’s most likely because South Africa is having problems dealing with rampant crime, stadiums that are being delayed , and the possibility of random power outages.

 Rough Week
Rough Week
It’s been a rough week for the Wizard. Sleep has been difficult, with all the nightmares of a Brewers v Cubs NLCS (or, worse yet, a Cubs v Red Sox World Series). But no worries, because there is a ray of hope. Wait, what’s that, no ray of hope? Ohhhh, well at least there are links.

 A Business Decision
A Business Decision
Last week were reminded that sports are nothing more than a business. Elton Brand supposedly had an agreement to stay with the Los Angeles Clippers, only to sign a five-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Some people were shocked, but they shouldn’t have been. Remember, it’s a business.

 The Man Behind the Cowturd
The Man Behind the Cowturd
Asshat, schrutebag, jerk, dick, jackass, idiot, dunce, scumbag. Even though I’ve been listening to “ The Herd ” for a couple years, I never knew what a super guy Colin Cowherd was until I started researching the great beyond — this thing called the Internet — where I found all the lovely pet names for ESPN’s superhero of court jesters.

Praise for Hendry is Long Overdue
With all due respect to Bean, the winner of any trade is the team that gets the best player. And even when considering the very legitimate injury concerns that come with Rich Harden, he’s clearly the best player in this trade.

From the files of oddly well-written and extremely heartfelt comes Milton “Uncle Milty” Bradley, who is submitting a few blog entries about his first trip to the baseball All-Star Game for the New York Times. A couple of things to note:

 Horsemen, Two Tracks End Battles, But War Isn’t Over
Horsemen, Two Tracks End Battles, But War Isn’t Over
Two tracks ended their fight with horsemen’s groups assuring Calder an increase in simulcast revenue and allowing Ellis Park to race after it threatened to close. Obviously, the tracks gave in because they faced financial disaster. But the war between both sides is far from over. First, Ellis Park was on the verge of becoming the first casualty in its dispute when track owner Ron ...

The Brain Leak
As displays of symbolic patriotism mark the skies and BBQ grills stoke the flames of tradition across the country during the venerable holiday weekend, the Leak firmly adheres to its original commitment of never taking a day off. In such spirit, it is with no regrets that I forgo the three-day weekend to bring you material so liberating and ...
