This Week's Links (4/28-5/2)
Published 5/1/2008 by Vegas Watch at Vegas Watch
So I understand that Braylon Edwards was on Costas Now this week? Okay, let's think about this logically. Watch the video (here, here). Then read the responses from Posnanski, TBL, FJM, AA, and Leitch. Who, again, is bringing down the level of discourse? The Sports VU's 08-09 SEC Basketball preview. Odds on which NBA player is most likely to be the next to admit to marijuana use. The Angels brought up their top prospect, Nick Adenhart, who has already undergone elbow surgery, and had a 19:15 K:BB rate in AAA, to pitch on three days' rest. Shockingly, ...

Published 5/1/2008 at Ball Don't Lie
I was going to wait until 4:20 to post this but ...

The odds from the Detroit Free Press, via 100% Injury Rate: Iverson: 4/1 Melo: 10/1 Rasheed: 2/1 LeBron: 40/1 Josh Childress: 4/1 Shaq: 100/1 Dirk: 250/1 Wow. Knowing what we know, Dirk seems like a pretty good bet, no?

As Henry Abbott put it, "We're not alarmed that one young person smoked pot. We're alarmed that anyone admitted it." Fitting, not even Howard's sponsors really care. Even if Howard is passing out birthday party invites right as his team is about to be eliminated, and generally playing poorly in the playoffs, we're not sure what weed has to do with it. But that's all just a (not really) high-minded way to justify this gambling opportunity to bet on ...
