FreeDarko. If you're in a hurry, it's not the site for you. Too many days, I am in a hurry, and skim. And you can miss all the good stuff by skimming. The blog FreeDarko is basketball through the lens of manifesto, academic essay, and irreverence. All that said: I love the site. If somebody loves the NBA more, writes about the NBA with a keener sense of fun, or flat-out works harder to find a fresh take on things basketball, then I don't know who it is. There is gold in them there hills. So it was with great enthusiasm that I opened a non-descript manila envelope that contained, it ...

C’mon, gimme some red outlining or at least some red sleeve piping or something. Sox ownership reportedly got the idea for this ...

Also, notice the new Amazon widget to the right: Same "you buy stuff by clicking through here, we benefit" idea, but new approach. We're going to be recommending books, music, movie, whatever we feel is worthy of FD's prized endorsement. If you click through there, feel free to buy whatever you want. But the point is to manipulate you. Apologies if I've touched on this before, but when you have the same screamed phone conversation with multiple FreeDarko members, it warrants a post.

Chinese ad campaign confirms that Shaq truly IS the Emperor of Big Men
this is the city line. —
The text of this amazing ad for Chinese sportswear company Li Ning, via Ads of the World, apparently says “Emperor in Cavaliers, Fight Fearlessly.” Which kind of makes sense, given the horses and swords and whatnot. But at first it seemed kind of weird, because it sounded like the ...
