"Your most valuable option for Midwest sports"
NBA talent Kyle Singler, the 33rd overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons, said he has no regret over his decision to spurn the Pistons to play professional basketball in Spain.
The Real Madrid forward, selected by Detroit with the 3rd pick in the second round of the draft, is one of a handful of players who didn’t return to America once the NBA lockout ended.
The former Duke Blue Devils star and 2010 NCAA Tournament MOP has decided to stay in Spain and hone his skills.
Boston Celtics superstar Kevin Garnett gave us something last night that America has lacked for decades- a good, fun to watch postgame interview. In fact this one, which you can watch after the jump, is much better than the “anything is POSSSSSSIBLE” interview from the 2008 NBA Finals.
This one will likely be referred to as the “bar fight” interview. The Chicago native and greatest player in Minnesota Timberwolves history will be trending on the internet for awhile today

So who is Brooke Olzendam?
UPDATE: Olzendam gets new gig as Indiana Pacers, Fox Sports Indiana sideline reporter
A CBS College Sports Sideline Reporter, Comcast SportsNet Northwest Host and Reporter, her Twitter biography says. She might also become the next national sideline superstar, a la Erin Andrews or Jenn Brown. If you watch as much college basketball and college football as we do, it’s a name you’ll get to know very well soon.
BREAKING NEWS: Olzendam’s husband, former Oregon Ducks back up QB, Andy Collins, passes away on treadmill just ten days after their wedding)
Here’s more from her Comcast biography:
Actress Kate Beckinsale is burning up the internet these past few days. So we put a few scorching hot pics of the vampire warrior Selene in “Underworld: Awakening” after the jump. That trademark leather costume has helped make the 38-year-old Brit one of the most lusted after women on the net.
“Underworld: Awakening” is an upcoming 3D action fantasy film releasing worldwide Jan 20th; the second sequel in the Underworld series.
Beckinsale is also attracting a ton of attention from Seth Rogen’s arousal joke at the Golden Globes. Discussion of which led to talk about pornographic fruit arrangements on Conan. See video after the jump
For years, the NFL has had a bye week between the Conference Championship and the Super Bowl. That is a lot of time to wait for another meaningful football game. A few years ago, the NFL decided to move up the Pro Bowl to the bye week to satiate the football-lovers appetite. But does the Pro Bowl really satiate?
No.
But fear not my football adoring friends. There is a solution.

Someone had to talk about it; the elephant in the room. In all the tributes paid to Joe Paterno these past few days, a few talked about his recent dismissal. Little to none discussed it in a substantive sense. Nike CEO Phil Knight at least touched upon it; but ended up doing little more than Paterno/Penn State cheerleading.
Maybe it would have been better if he had just kept his mouth shut.
Thursday’s memorial event ended the public mourning period for Paterno. Public viewings were held Tuesday and Wednesday morning at a campus followed by a funeral Mass, procession and burial for Paterno that afternoon.
Who says men can’t express themselves? New England Patriots wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is one of the most emotionally expressive men in the NFL. We all know Speaker of the House John Boehner is one of the most emotionally expressive people in politics.
Yesterday the Pats colorful WR tweeted this to Boehner.
Hello Mr. Boehner, hoping you are in better spirits today. If all else seems bad in life just remember I love you kind sir.
Are you sitting down ladies, I have some bad news for you:
the New England Patriots Wes Welker is now spoken for. The ex-party man and greatest slot receiver in NFL history is engaged to Hooters hottie Anna Burns.
Burns, a former Miss Hooters International 2005, is just as excited about snagging him as a fantasy football owner needing points-per-receptions.

Anew tv show that I will avoid like the plague called “Baseball Wives” premieres this week. And even though that piece of VH1 crapola is guaranteed to dumb you down, I feel this week deserved a post in that vein.
The Chicago Cubs signed former Oakland Athletics OF David DeJesus yesterday, which means Kimberly DeJesus, Kim DeJesus, previously known as Kim Iliff is now in Chicago. And if she was on that stupid reality show she’d blow all the other baseball wives out of the water.
Observe.
