http://freedarko.blogspot.com/ - A roundtable of Yukon Gold Miners providing the best in Slovenian farm league analysis and reporting since 1968.
First, the podcast:Dan sat down (enter the virtual sitting space?) with Kelly Dwyer, who needs no introduction. He also once penned (meta-finger carved?) this beyond-the-moon classic of an FD guest post. They discuss Kelly's hustle, his m.o., and naturally, the Bucks, the new official team of ...

this list of records I'm too lazy to put
on eBay just yet. And listen to the newest Disciples of Clyde-cast, featuring Kelly Dwyer. Will be posted here later in the week, but it's there for you, now. Thanks!I have ...

Hardwood Paroxysm
found this 2 days agofound this
Manny still lingers, John Wall's debut is vague, if crackling, until the final exclamation point, Jennings with a positively fearsome second half and OT in a loss to the Mavs. They threw everything at him, including the war with Beaubois that was like watching photon particles at play, and the ...

Okay, so I didn't get around to getting anything longer about Jennings near finished. Partly because it was drawing parallels between that and Manny's performance, which is stupid unless you attach a bunch of qualifiers to it. Or are drunk. Luckily, my argument is primarily about spectatorship ...

You know our very own boxing correspondent Shoefly,

weekend. Here are his thoughts on the matter.I’ve been developing this theory recently that for the truly great athletes there are two types of ...

The Wall that Leapt and Followed
Consider it a podcast round-up. First, Joey Litman joins Dan to talk about the NBA, which for them means wailing about the Knicks and clinging to each other like it's 2012, not 2010. Good stuff. Then, a recap of the only partly-staged feud between DoC and Dan Levy, step-by-step:1. Dan and Dan ...

We're off and running with this season. Few
truths have been settled upon, but among them are
that the Knicks are horrible and the Warriors are dysfunctional. Again.Ty Keenan and I decided to share our self-loathing as we embark upon the newest ...

The New York Times recently ran an interesting
article checking in on Jeremy Tyler, the 6-11 eighteen
year old who one upped Brandon Jennings by not only bypassing college, but also his senior year of high school, to play professionally overseas. ...

I love my wife. See, here I am
checking my mail right before our wedding ceremony (j/k,
I was turning the Blackberry off). But on some level, I will never forgive her, or anyone she's related to, for causing me to miss the game above. This was Gil, ...

I highly suggest you turn your eyes to
this lengthy post by Vince Grzegorek of Cleveland Scene,
on the touchy subject of how the fuck a beat writer covers Delonte West. Vince and I had talked about this a few times prior; he felt the team was trying ...

Which Mirror Now?
This will totally shock all of you: The still-untitled FreeDarko Book 2 will at one point address some "could've been" players. I had called them "what if's," but not only does that encompass much more, it also overlaps with the Simmons tome—one of my great anxieties about the project. The last ...

Over at The Baseline, Bethlehem Shoals has bared his soul on the subject of this year's mangled Warriors, and maybe even found some good in there. If nothing else, as a learning experience for those who must touch shoulders with their carnival of doom:You won't get there but by speaking their ...

This post follows directly from Dr. LIC's consideration
of myth in the NBA, so read that first
if you expect to be on my level. Other suggested reading: Pasha Malla on "Where Amazing Happens" during last year's playoffs.A few weeks ago, I fired off an ...

Sing With The Pollen
Read Dr. LIC on myth across all sports. Check Joey lamenting his age. But if you really want to get ready for tomorrow, watch this music video from outsider dancehall seer—and gung ho NBA fan—SNIPA, and maybe even his statement to the media about track. Not since that "Ron Artest" joint has a ...

Hark, the season is nearly upon us, so it's time for a podcast where Dan and myself . . . talk about what a letdown it is when the season actual starts? Well, sort of. We do some preview-y stuff, then end up discussing the wish-list-y nature of all previews, as well as the "wait and see" period ...
