Hmmm, if I had to pick the biggest surprise from the 1st round, I would go with Jake Locker going #8 to the Titans. I really like Locker and think he’s going to be good, but I don’t think anyone on the planet knew he was going before Gabbert. Another surprise was Christian Ponder being [...]
We all heard about the five Ohio State players’ business arrangement in which they were receiving free tattoos for Ohio State memorabilia and Coach Jim Tressel having no knowledge of said arrangement. We also heard back in March Coach Jim Tressel admitting he actually did have knowledge of this business arrangement in the form of a letter sent [...]
I watched Memphis as they took a 3-1 lead over the ‘#1′ team in the West, and they just looked dominant. They were flying around the court, making blocks, causing turnovers, draining threes. It was obvious who the quicker and more youthful team was. The oldest guy on the Grizzlies starting roster is 29, while [...]
The Lakers-Hornets series is now tied 2-2, and you can completely attribute this to the play of Chris Paul. Last night, he led both teams in points with 27, both teams in assists with 15, both teams in rebounds with 13, and tied for most steals with 2. He also played more minutes than any [...]

This guy put a no-name school (even though it has the largest student body in Virginia) on the athletic map. The George Mason President, and good friend of [...]
Harrison Barnes announced today that he will return for his Sophomore year at UNC. Barnes was a long shot consideration for the #1 pick, but definitely a top 3er. He says it is to continue to live the college life and receive a better education, and this is one of the first times I’ve heard that [...]
So what is the biggest story to come out of the 2011 Masters? I have to say, I’m no golf expert, but this was definitely one of the most exciting/interesting I’ve seen. First, you have Tiger’s amazing run. We all know if there’s a tournament Tiger is going to do well in, it’s the Masters. [...]
Over the past week or so, this phrase has taken on a whole new meaning. No longer does it refer to the times of Manny Ramirez taking bathroom breaks from left field while his pitcher is warming up. Or Manny storing a water bottle in his back pocket and taking swigs in between pitches. As [...]
Today, Shaka Smart agreed to an 8-year extension with VCU that will apparently pay him $1.2 million annually. Quite an increase when compared to his $325k base salary this past year. I really like Smart, but is he really deserving of all this money after one spectacular Final 4 run? When compared to Brad Stevens [...]
