This is the best news I've heard in
quite some time. Cheers!

1993 letter from Bill Clinton to Chris Webber.
Pre-order our book and save money! Yes, this
is shameless self-promotion. I prefer to call it "hustle."

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 ...

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 ...
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.
When it rains, it pours. Today, some far-reaching
thoughts from Matthew Yglesias, whose eponym now calls The
Atlantic home. And if you haven't already, take a look at Matt Ufford's ode to Adrian Peterson. When I was approached about writing a guest ...

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."
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 ...
[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 ...
Ladies and gentlemen, Matt Ufford. You know him
from Kissing Suzy Kolber , With Leather , and
the absolutely indispensable The Prelude Somewhere in the archives of this website rests a discussion, or possibly discussions, of how FreeDarko’s ...
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.
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...

"Vintage League of Psychology." Shoals' analysis of Durant
is probably his best piece in a while.
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.

"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."
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.
A Joint-post by Silverbird5000 and Bethlehem Shoals Some
of you may be following the latest blogosphere contretemps
over Hollinger's Player Efficiency Ranking (PER)- that great Rosetta Stone of NBA statistical analysis, whose benevolent tyranny over ...

Frank Deford was on NPR this morning talking
about how stupid it was to try to compare
Michael Phelps to competitors from other sports, and while he obviously has a legitimate point, I can't help but think of Amare Stoudemire when I watch Usain Bolt. ...
