Pre-order our book and save money! Yes, this is shameless self-promotion. I prefer to call it "hustle."

 Where Amazing Happens
Where Amazing Happens
To start off with an aside, I was watching NFL Sunday Countdown this morning and believe I actually heard Chris Berman lambaste Chad Johnson for wearing his mock Hall of Fame sportcoat after touchdowning in the Bengals first game of the year instead ...

They Aren't Who We Thought We Were Waiting For
And with that, the dream died. I heard Obama say in every way imaginable tonight that a change was gonna come, and yet he left out the part where, for the NBA, that train stopped hard. I don't know what Kerr is thinking, or particularly care. I guess ...

 The Official FreeDarko Talking Points on the Latest Josh Howard Matter
The Official FreeDarko Talking Points on the Latest Josh Howard Matter
Bottom line: Josh Howard is that player who speaks up. If you bitch about the post-MJ blandness of LeBron and, more recently, Melo, then stand up and think about this situation all its sloppy, inflammatory imperfection.

Shoals on LeBron: "I'd say that knifing through the entire Detroit defense for a wide-open lay-up, completely contortion-free at the end, counts as irrevocable proof that he can't be touched, he can't be seen, he can only be felt reverberating off the rafters."

Name That Straggling Polymer
I may have to back up off of this "worst line-up in the league" thing. For one, it only really makes sense when you factor in how much the Cavs are paying their others. And tonight, they were actually pretty good. It looked like the Pistons repeatedly ...

R.I.P. EDDIE GRIFFIN
[These are words of praise, after a 22 point, 12 rebound night by EG] As the Brown Recluse, Esq. put it, he's "got to have the saddest NBA story ever. Maybe even sadder than Bias." I would have to agree. Wherever Eddie Griffin went, bad things ...

It begins with, "After watching the Lakers lose to New Orleans last week, I finally figured it out: Kobe is basketball's answer to Jay Gatsby," and only gets better from there.

FreeDarko V-Day Spectacular
About a month ago, I posed the following question to a handful of media notables: how do your relationship and your sports coexist? Somewhere along the line and several inspired entries later, the theme had become a more abstract "love and...

This is my site, and I want you all to be aware of our Chicago event. Even if you've never read FreeDarko, hate me, and could care less about seeing FD's High Council in person.

 FD Guest Lecture: Isiah Lord Thomas Seen on Vacation in Cancun
FD Guest Lecture: Isiah Lord Thomas Seen on Vacation in Cancun
"I never wear the same tie to a game more than twice. My ties are always neat and perfectly knotted, but they are often purposefully harsh, ugly, abrasive. You may think you know someone, a girlfriend, an uncle, a coach, but you don’t. From across the court, my secrets are safe. There is no looking past this thin strip of silk."

FreeDarko on why when the playoffs start, the East is going to become the new West.
It feels like a ghost town around here. Bonzi is AWOL. Gilbert has ascended temporarily to heaven. D-Wade is in purgatory. Oden/Durant hopes got a bunch of invisible snipers hitting Michael Redd, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen...but when the playoffs start, the East is going to be the new West.
