David Kahn is an Epic Failure

By

That headline might seem a bit harsh. It's probably an understatement. If David Kahn was a movie he would be "Spiderman 3." He had a huge opportunity to start this offseason with a bang to build a foundation for a team that needs to be wrapping it's rebuild up, not continuing to deconstruct. In expected fashion, Kahn disappointed Timberwolves fans by giving them a night of … [Read more...] about David Kahn is an Epic Failure

2010 NHL AWARDS SPECTACULAR

By

Good day sports fans!  On Wednesday night, the NHL gathered all its greatest goal getters, stingiest shot stoppers, and dynamic defenseman in Las Vegas for the annual awards show.  Although the action on the stage wasn’t that great (Jay Mohr doing his same three impressions over and over again does not make entertaining television), the real stars of the show were the players … [Read more...] about 2010 NHL AWARDS SPECTACULAR

The Milwaukee Bucks’ second round picks at a glance

By

The Milwaukee Bucks addressed a dire need to boost free throw chances and scoring off the dribble with the acquisition of small forward Corey Maggette and shooting guard Chris Douglas-Roberts, and it was only fitting that the Bucks centered their 2010 NBA Draft on size, athleticism and length.

Indiana Pacers: 2010 NBA Draft Analysis

By

The Indiana Pacers came into the 2010 NBA Draft needing to have a good night. They haven’t made the playoffs in four seasons, something not seen since the mid-80’s in Indianapolis.

Mostly, the Pacers needed a solid point guard, so … [Read more...] about Indiana Pacers: 2010 NBA Draft Analysis

Evan Turner talks about spending his new Money (Video)

By

Remember this past March when Demetri McCamey, D.J. Richardson and the rest of the Illini were talking trash to Ohio State's Evan Turner in Big Ten Tournament semifinal game? And Turner responded by later showing the "holding my dollars" sign at the Illini bench? Presumably that was in reference to all the money he'll make in the NBA come June. Well TMZ.com indeed sent … [Read more...] about Evan Turner talks about spending his new Money (Video)

2010 NHL MOCK DRAFT (v3.0) 6-25

By

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back!  The third and final 2010 Mock NHL Entry Draft is here for your consumption.  As the hockey minds, the movers and shakers, and future stars converge on downtown LA (6:00p CT, Versus) tonight and tomorrow for an exercise in selection (unless the teenie boppers riot over the Twilight premiere), I have done the leg work for you and figured … [Read more...] about 2010 NHL MOCK DRAFT (v3.0) 6-25

True White Sox fans NEED to hate the Twins, not the Cubs

By

As the second of the Chicago intra-city series commences this weekend, you'll hear a lot of vitriol for the Cubs from White Sox fans. And that is very misguided. A $146 million team that is hopelessly under .500 and nowhere near the NL Central race is not to be feared, or hated. They're to be laughed at and pitied. Just be thankful your team doesn't insult your intelligence by … [Read more...] about True White Sox fans NEED to hate the Twins, not the Cubs

Larry Sanders brings a unique skill set to the Milwaukee Bucks

By

The Milwaukee Bucks' 15th pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, junior VCU power forward Larry Sanders, has only been playing organized basketball for five years, so he's still got a ways to go before reaching his full potential. But Bucks GM John Hammond won't label him a project, and sees his lack of development as an advantage.
