Twenty-four hours later, I’m still torn about Josh
Childress signing with Olympiakos. Unlike Brandon Jennings’ decision to
spurn the NBA’s age limit in favor of the Euroleague, this isn’t a case of a self-serving rule coming ...

Today David Stern cringes again, as the newspapers
will revisit his least favourite topic of the last
12 months: the Tim Donaghy saga. Indeed, perhaps he will even be happy that the sports columnists will be filling their quota with "Childress takes Greek deal" headlines, if it distracts from the fact that today Donaghy's high school friends and gambling co-conspirators will be sentenced in court.

The Unuted States’ National Basketball Association has long
been the world’s preeminent basketball league. This is the
country that invented the sport, and it’s highest league is supposed to be where every basketball player the world over aspires to play. United States basketball has lost some of its luster in recent years though. Will premier players start to defect?

It looks like the little gremlin dictator commissioner
has finally started to pay attention to the REAL
image of the league and has started to make changes with the NBA that compare to some of the changes made in Major League Baseball after the Black Sox scandal. The Tim Donaghy affair and the repercussions are making ripples in the NBA pond that will affect the entire landscape and eventually ...
Frustrated with the Hawks, Josh Childress is going
Brandon Jennings and may make the move to Greek
powerhouse club Olympiakos. Let basketball's globalization continue!
This ordeal is likely to cause many talented
young high schoolers to follow in Jennings’ Nike footsteps
and cause David Stern to change the idiotic “one-and-done” rule in the NBA. As for now, Michael Phelps better send Brandon Jennings the Rosetta Stone in Italian, so he can start boning up, FAST.

David Stern gave Vancouver a team again...and gave

The NFL appears to be very, very concerned

Here it is, the big, bad Fox News
link to the "second ref" story. The gist, situated
conveniently in the first paragraph: The records show Donaghy placed 134 calls to referee Scott Foster — more than the 126 calls Donaghy made to his bookie — between October 2006 and April 2007, the period during which he has confessed to either betting on games or passing on game ...

Lost in the Josh Hamilton Home Run Show
and Brett Favre fiasco was an interesting story from
Fox News. A story the NBA probably wanted hidden. A story the NBA probably wanted to drop on Super Bowl Sunday so nobody would notice. But not even 28 HRs in one round of Derby nor a fake retirement of one of the NFLs most popular player could upstage this.

Fair Call? The scrutiny of NBA referees and
their behavior on and off the court is at

As we've mentioned before , there is significant
evidence to believe that David Stern and Clay Bennett
are good friends (I think actually, it's a fact, if that is a provable statement). This friendship took another convenient twist with the latest news re: hijacking Seattle. How else can you explain the subsequent timeline of events : Bennett signing a settlement that agrees to return the ...
Thank you, David Stern, for creating the 1999
Collective Bargaining Agreement. Sure, it's not the one the
NBA is currently working under, and it did sort of destroy the 1998-99 season (sort of?), but let's call it - that season was going to be rubbish anyway. While we're on the subject, Steve Aschburner came through with a must-read column on the labor impasse from ten years ago . ..

I salute you, Brandon Jennings. Some are going
to say you’re crazy, and others are going to
follow in your foot steps, but the important thing to understand is that what you’re doing is right. Commissioner Stern’s NBA age limit is well-documented as being absolutely ridiculous, and the league needs someone like Jennings to stick it to the man. College purists should be pleased to know that ...
In the face of the NBA's minimum age
rule, Brandon Jenning's decision to forgo the NCAA college
