McD’s I Have Nothing Better To Do Tonight NBA Draft Live Blogapalooza
Rumors and Rants —
6:50 - Evening. This is around the 5,000th live blog of the NBA Draft going on tonight, and at least 1,000 of those are more qualified to dissect tonight’s picks than I am. But hey, screw it, I need something to do tonight. I’ll be live-blogging with a heavy heart tonight since Michael Jackson has (apparently) died of a heart attack at 6:15 ET. Special thanks to TMZ’s insane vigilance over all things celebrity because all the major media outlets were quoting their story first before there was official confirmation. Welcome to the new media. So before we get started for real, enjoy: ...
RIP Michael Jackson
Robert Littal Presents The Infamous BlackSportsOnline —
I don't really have anything profound to say. I am as shocked as everyone else. It sports we talk about the difference between "great" players and "legendary" players. MJ was MJ way before Michael Jordan was MJ.

In Memory of Michael Jackson: Michael Jacksons!
Great Sports Name Hall of Fame —
The world is buzzing over the sudden death of the King of Pop, and we here at GSNHOF are saddened as well (favorite songs include Scream and Rock With You, and Captain EO was ridiculous). But the show must go on, and so to honor Michael Jackson while also creating a new post, I thought I'd find all the athletes I could named Michael Jackson and honor them. So here you go, the best Michael Jackson named athletes wikipedia I could find: NFL: Michael Jackson (WR): Played with the Browns from 1991 to 1995 and Ravens from 1996 to 1998. Gotta love those guys who stayed ...
Daily Haze: Fantasy quarterbacks
N/A —
The three names on Bruno Boys’ list of quarterbacks flying under the radar right now in fantasy drafts are Carson Palmer, Matt Hasselbeck and Brady Quinn. Hard to argue against the inclusion of those three guys, but how about a few more?
Atlanta’s Matt Ryan fits the bill. Coming off a spectacular rookie campaign in which he led the Falcons to the playoffs, Ryan has the tools and more play-makers (read: Tony Gonzalez) to become a very consistent fantasy starter. This could be his break-out campaign.
Donovan McNabb was flying low for a while, but began picking up some momentum after the Eagles added some ...
