Brad Miller Marijuana Report: ESPN Style
— sportsonmymind.com — Brad Miller: You know about the trade to Chicago, but why was his drug suspension kept so... quiet by ESPN? Forget Phelps, what happens if you compare ESPN's treatment of Miller across with 3 other NBA players busted for weed in 2008. How would it look. No rants. Just straight facts. See for yourself.

Sports Illustrated and Sexism: Tokenism or New Day?
— sportsonmymind.com — In an unprecedented move SI put 6 women athletes on the cover along with the men in... an NCAA Basketball preview. But SI has had only 10 women in the last 8 years. Is it because female athletes can't sell mags? Think again. The research is right here. Go Maya Moore! (more) Sports Illustrated and Sexism: Tokenism or New Day?

ESPN Blatantly Ignores Brett Favre Traitor Story
— sportsonmymind.com — Jay Glazer from FoxSports breaks a big Brett Favre story where he is alleged to have given... insider information to Lions management about the Packers. This is the kind of stuff ESPN LOVES! Yet they simply refuse to report the story. Another example of the ESPN-Favre love affair? Or more than that?

What's Wrong With Josh Howard?
— sportsonmymind.com — Why can't Josh Howard shoot anymore? It's probably not just a shooting slump since JH is as... steady as they come. It's not Peja's great D as he is missing wide open jumpers. And it's not the recent marijuana controversy as he was bricking before the media jumped in. So what gives? Is the problem worse than a bad series? (more) What's Wrong With Josh Howard?

"COVER GIRL": The One Thing Candace Parker Can't Do
— cosellout.com — Candace Parker can shoot, pass, board, dribble, and has been dunking since age 14. She'll go on... any playground in America and embarass all the boys. She will dislocate her shoulder, get it popped right back in, rub some dirt on it and continue playing. But there is one thing that Candace Parker cannot do... and it makes her like just about every other female athlete in sports... (more) "COVER GIRL": The One Thing Candace Parker Can't Do

The Goliath Bias: Roy Hibbert & The Future of NCAA Basketball
— cosellout.com — First things first: Congrats to Davidson & especially the brilliant performance by Stephen Curry. ...But what about... Hibbert only playing 16 mins? And what about last year's dream match-up where Hibbert and Greg Oden COMBINED for 44 min. These days refs are blowing whistles on big men that would have been unheard of 25 years ago. The fans are losing and Dick Vitale agrees. What should the NCAA do? (more) The Goliath Bias: Roy Hibbert & The Future of NCAA ...

The Seduction: Starring Jamal Crawford
— cosellout.com — When it comes to one-night stands, Jamal Crawford will blow your mind! Long-term commitment? More often Jamal... is that woman who you just know is bad for you, but you stay in the relationship anyway. Isiah is infatuated too. This fun post dissects the NBA's greatest tease through '80's cheese. (more) The Seduction: Starring Jamal Crawford

Knicks Line-Up Change: A 10 Point Plan for Isiah Thomas
— cosellout.com — After 19 losses, Isiah Thomas FINALLY has agreed to shake-up the Knicks awful starting line-up for Wednesday's... game, but has not revealed the new starters. Knick fans have been screaming for a change since week 2 to add some defense to the mix. In this open letter to Isiah here is our 10 point plan. (note: trades are not an option) What would you do if you were coach? (more) Knicks Line-Up Change: A 10 Point Plan for Isiah Thomas

The "Fire Isiah" Hysteria: How Much is Real vs. Media Fueled?
— cosellout.com — Mass protests? Calls for commissioner intervention? Complaints about 1st ammendment right violations? More on the war in... Iraq? Not quite. The Knicks are just playing some really lousy basketball. Specific reports show that outfits like the New York Daily News might not just be reporting the news, but are also creating it. How can we tell the difference? (more) The "Fire Isiah" Hysteria: How Much is Real vs. Media ...

"How Can You Defend Isiah Thomas?"
— cosellout.com — Since last week's Knicks loss dubbed "The Boston Massacre", people keep asking me this question at every... turn. Is this what Saddam Hussein's lawyers went through before they were executed? Quite possibly! In any case: here is an open response at COSELLOUT for the next person who asks "How Can You Defend Isiah?" (more) "How Can You Defend Isiah Thomas?"

Sean Taylor and The Death of Sports Journalism
— cosellout.com — Sean Taylor is dead. But what about the state of sports journalism? The coverage of his murder... has been nothing short of appalling, and many bloggers are striking back the very same way that many rose up to deny the airing if the interview "If I Did It" by OJ Simpson. Sports journalism's new low and bloggers reactions are chronicled in this post. The message to MSM is "enough is enough"! (more) Sean Taylor and The Death of Sports Journalism

"The Isiah Rules": John Paxson's Free Pass
— cosellout.com — Isiah Thomas the GM has been getting absolutely crushed by the media lately. However, not John Paxson... despite the Bulls similar slow start. But a much closer GM contrast will show that Isiah has done a much better GM job than has been reported and John Paxson has done much worse than you think. It all starts with the rosters that each took over in 2003. Get the WHOLE story here. (more) "The Isiah Rules": John Paxson's Free Pass

Boys Will Be Boys! Pacman Jones & The Sons of Andy Reid
— cosellout.com — Made a trip to ESPN Conversation room yesterday. So many people were referring to Andy Reid's sons... as "these kids". But they are 22 and 24 years old! Then I went pack to the ESPN story where then 23 year-old Pacman Jones got 3 traffic tickets (& 1400 comments!). You can't find the word "kid" anywhere. Is a revealing subconscious pattern emerging of how white and black young adults are perceived? (more) Boys Will Be Boys! Pacman Jones & The Sons of Andy Reid

John Hollinger Shoots Airballs on Knicks & Isiah Thomas
— cosellout.com — This article discusses how journalists can spin opinion through "the art of trade naming". For example most... media still refer to "the Jalen Rose deal" as a terrible trade. Now change the wording to "the Renaldo Balkman deal" (via draft pick w/Antonio Davis) and its a great trade! John Hollinger, a serial offender, knows stats. But he has a major blind spot when writing about Isiah & the Knicks. (more) John Hollinger Shoots Airballs on Knicks & Isiah Thomas
