We’re a Midwest site, but occasionally we need to focus on stories with a more coastal theme. Here in Chicago, our media contingent lacks the obvious eye-candy tokenism you find so prominent on both coasts and in the national media.
But on the East Coast…meet hottie Meredith Marakovits

Indiana Hoosiers’ Christian Watford League-Bound?
February 2, 2012 By 1 Comment
When Christian Watford committed to Indiana University at the beginning of his senior year of high school in 2008, he dubbed himself Christian “LeagueBound” Watford on Facebook.
The Birmingham, Ala. native just might have been on to something.
Now a junior forward at Indiana, Watford has displayed tremendous progress from as recently as last season, enough so that fellow TSB contributor David Kay pegged him as the 21st pick in a 2013 NBA mock draft, the actual event occurring the summer after Watford’s graduation.
Is Watford really league-bound? And a first-round pick, at that?

New Hornets Team Owner: Former Player Jamal Mashburn?
February 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment
As successful a NBA and college basketball player Jamal Mashburn was, he’s become an even bigger star in the business realm. “Monster Mash” averaged more than 19 points per game and made more than $75 million during 12 year professional career; one cut short by a knee injury.
Before he was a star with the Hornets, Heat and Mavericks, he left the famed Kentucky Wildcats program as the 4th leading scorer in UK history.
Today, Mashburn is “not a business man, but a business; man” as Jay-Z would say.
He owns 37 Papa John’s restaurants, 30 Outback Steakhouses, two car dealerships and a real estate company in Kentucky.

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.
Must Watch Kevin Garnett Postgame Interview (Video)
January 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment
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
