The Ty Cobb Regional featured some stiff competition among losers. Brett Favre, Kurt Rambis, Harvey Updyke, Charlie Sheen and David Kahn highlighted the regional's biggest failures. Much like the NCAA Tournament, the first two rounds featured some epic upsets and some orgasmic finales that would have made Gus Johnson keel over into a giant puddle of awesome-sauce. By Peter … [Read more...] about VOTE NOW! The Sports Bank Anti-Bracket Ty Cobb Regional Finals

Timberwolves, Kahn Miss the Boat at the NBA Trade Deadline
The NBA trade deadline came and went with the Minnesota Timberwolves only making a minor move to acquire Anthony Randolph from the New York Knicks. While it was a low-risk, high-reward move, it was a trade that I thought would open the flood gates.

T’Wolves’ Rambis is Here to Stay
When Minnesota Timberwolves' General Manager David Kahn announced the hiring of head coach Kurt Rambis on August 8, 2009 it was generally well received by fans of the Timberwolves.

NBA Trade Machine Challenge: Blow Up Pistons’ Roster
The Sports Guy refers to himself as the Picasso of ESPN's NBA Trade Machine. Well if he is Picasso then The Sports Bank's Peter Christian and David Kay are the da Vinci and van Gogh of the trade machine (though neither would cut their own ear off while working on a trade... or at least I don't think.) In this new feature, Peter and David will play the role of NBA general … [Read more...] about NBA Trade Machine Challenge: Blow Up Pistons’ Roster
Rubio, Mayo; T’Wolves Rumor Mill Swirling
The Wolves’ record dropped to 8-25 after Wednesday night’s 119-113 loss to the Denver Nuggets.

5 Immediate Lineup Changes for the Timberwolves:
Last week I wrote 5 bold predictions for the 2010-11 Minnesota Timberwolves. After a pitiful 1-4 start, those bold predictions make less sense than trading for a diva wide receiver, then dumping him four weeks later. Truth be told I honestly didn’t foresee such a bad start out of this team. The trouble in paradise that ensued between head coach Kurt Rambis and star play … [Read more...] about 5 Immediate Lineup Changes for the Timberwolves:
