40 games into the 2011-2012 NBA season and the Minnesota Timberwolves were actually competing for a Western Conference playoff spot. An injury to Ricky Rubio derailed the T-Wolves surprising start to the season but proved that there is reason for optimism in Minnesota and that the team doesn’t need to make any drastic moves this off-season. Still, a few upgrades could help them get back into post-season next year.

Five Mismatched Celebrity Athlete Relationships: Brooke Daniels, Hope Solo and More
You’ve heard of the expression “out-kicking your coverage,” or perhaps “punching above your weight class?” That’s what this post is all about, five guys in the sports world who are WAY overachieving in terms of their GFs, wives etc. Some of these men have fame, big money and are in tremendous physical shape, but some of them don’t.
And even the guys in this group that do have those qualities…when you see them next to the gorgeous beings they’ve landed, the extreme physical disparity is still outrageous and sometimes laughable.
We begin with a couple which made big news last week, or at least one half of them did. 2009 Miss Texas Brooke Daniels finally returned the $76,000 engagement ring Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams sent her in the mail alng with a video proposal. What a shock she said no. What’s more insane, spending long dough like that on a little rock? Or sending it snail mail? Or proposing in any manner that isn’t in person?

Top Ten NBA unrestricted free agents
Now that the NBA regular season is over, fourteen teams are already looking ahead to next season. The 2012 NBA free agency class features more talent than the 2011 class but still nowhere near 2010 when guys like LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, Carlos Boozer, and David Lee were all on the market. Here are the top ten NBA unrestricted free agents available this summer. Click here for The Sports Bank’s 2012 NBA Mock Draft.
Minnesota Timberwolves “luck” might be turning around?
I know the last few years have been down-right dreadful for fans of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Our last few draft picks (Wes Johnson and Derrick Williams) haven’t panned-out, so far or yet. But, Ricky Rubio brought a spark this season before his ACL injury. He lit-up Target Center with his maestro passing skills and non-matador-esque defensive ability that most of his teammates (Michael Beasley) have shown the past few years. He might just be the beginning of a Minnesota-turnaround, though.
Timberwolves shut Kevin Love down for the season
The Minnesota Timberwolves are shutting franchise forward Kevin Love down for the final two games of the regular season to play it safe while he recovers from the league’s best fourman recovers from a concussion.
Love has not played since suffering a concussion and strained neck versus the Denver Nuggets April 11.
