Agent: Bucks draft pick Yi looking for trade
— sportsillustrated.cnn.com — Wow! This is a HUGE surprise! There's only 1200 chinese people in all of Milwaukee, but me... thinks that's not the real issue. Yi loves American culture, and he's not likely to get a steady diet of movie premiers and awards shows in Milwaukee. When the guy is on record saying he doesn't want to play for a team like the Bucks - WHY DRAFT HIM??? (more) Agent: Bucks draft pick Yi looking for trade

Colts burning question: Favorite to repeat?
— sportingnews.com — Great question, and the writer says 'probably not', mostly because so many things have to come together... at the right time. This is why the NFL is so great - every year, things are pretty much wide open. While there are a few favorites, you could make a good case for 10 or more teams, and the actual Superbowl winner could be none of them. NBA needs to learn a little...

Boras calling for 9-game World Series
— sportingnews.com — I suppose I get the point, but can we really watch 2 teams play each other NINE... times in a row? Also, the reason the Superbowl sells so well, is that it's a one-game, all or nothing proposition. It's hard to see the urgency in travelling to a game, when there 7 or 8 games left to decide the winner... (more) Boras calling for 9-game World Series

NBA Draft In a Word - Anticlimactic
— blogentropy.typepad.com — GMs are still stupid, Owners are still stingy, no has any balls, and not a single 'big'... move made anywhere. Oh, and ESPNs graphics and presentation where abysmal. Good to see the NBA carrying over it's momentum from a stellar NBA Finals. (more) NBA Draft In a Word - Anticlimactic

Keeping Suns together bigger than draft
— azcentral.com — Call me one of those Suns fans who was disappointed. The Suns did almost literally nothing -... no trades, 1 very low draft pick, nothing. While I believe we're right there, and didn't NEED to do anything, there were options on the table (moving up in the draft, moving for KG), picking SOMEONE with their late round pick instead of trading it for cash (CASH?).

Wie Might Not Be Too Cool For (Q) School
— cbs.sportsline.com — Wie has been playing the LPGA on sponsors exeptions, and still hasn't decided if she wants full... membership. If she does, she's going to have to go through Q school. She's only made $3K this year in earnings, and has't broken par in her last 20 rounds. Given all the bad publicity she's had over the past few weeks, sponsors exeptions are no longer a given.

Hollinger: Durant Best Prospect In a Decade
— insider.espn.go.com — By now, everyone knows Hollinger has his wierd statistical analysis that allegedly identifies the best team, player,... prospect etc. He's come up with some thing that ranks prospects. Using his system, Durant is the best prospect in a decade, miles ahead of the previous best (Melo in '03). Of course, he has Tayshaun as 11th best in '02 and Mike Sweetney ahead of Bosh and Wade in '03. Ugh. (more) Hollinger: Durant Best Prospect In a Decade
