No Game 7’s on Saturday. No doubleheader on Sunday with the NBA Draft lottery nudged in between. Is Mickey Mouse currently in charge of NBA programming……..wait a second…..don’t answer that…

A Sports Medley
by Trevor Freeman
Have you ever had a bad case of writer’s block? So much so, that it was beginning to affect your overall personality? All day Sunday I was trying to write a good sports article. I wrote a bunch of first paragraphs on a variety of topics but could never close the deal. I was the “buzzed” guy at the bar at 1:00 A.M. who had chatted with five different women during the night, but hadn’t made his move on one and now was desperately trying to salvage some poontang.

Breaking Down the NBA Playoffs
By Trevor Freeman
With the second round of the NBA Playoffs one game old, it is time to breakdown the NBA’s “Elite Eight”. At this juncture it looks like cars are going to be overturned and lit on fire once again in the bustling metropolis known as Detroit. The Eastern Conference playoffs are just a mere formality on the road to destiny. Out West there is a little bit more intrigue. Dallas and San Antonio seem destined for seven games and the Phoenix Suns look to have risen from the ashes. Without further ado let’s begin where the sun sets………….

Our Look At The NFL Draft
by Trevor Freeman
Let me just tell you what my Saturday consisted of. At 11:30 A.M I strolled into the New York Jets draft party at Hard Rock Café in Times Square. Before you ask, I will point out that I wore an Oakland A’s hat so there was no cheating on my beloved 49ers. Between my friend Chuck and I, we knocked out 38 Miller Lites (according to the receipt we should frame). Not too shabby. Got to meet Mark Gastineau and obtain autographs from Jonathan Vilma and Erik Coleman amongst others. It was a good time all around. A lot of football was discussed and much of this NFL Draft breakdown was written in my head while listening to drunken commentary. Without further ado, here are our comments on the draft………….

2006 NFL Mock Draft
by Trevor Freeman
With the NFL Draft exactly two weeks away, Reggie Bush is getting ready to hear himself get compared with Gale Sayers approximately 1,657 times and Matt Leinart is praying that New Orleans doesn’t draft him. Drew Rosenhaus is readying himself to say “my client wants a $15 million dollar signing bonus” and Mel Kiper is pitching a tent. The “do I watch the draft at home or go out and get wasted” decisions are being made. Some might say I’m crazy, but I prefer watching the NFL and NBA Draft to watching a regular season game. There’s just something about the combination of pro and college that makes for riveting television.

Our Look At The American League
by Trevor Freeman
Is it just me or was anybody else out there not prepared for Opening Day? I’m not sure if it was because I was afflicted with a huge dose of “GeorgeMasonitis” or if it was because hearing the word “steroids” come out of Linda Cohn’s mouth every thirty seconds made me want to gag.

Looking Back…..
by Trevor Freeman
I am writing this article because every March I plug Hank Gathers name into the Yahoo search engine to see what articles come up. And every time I open up an old article, I cannot believe it has really been sixteen years since arguably the biggest tragedy in the history of college sports spawned one of its most remarkable stories.

Going For it…..
by Trevor Freeman
On Tuesday morning, I wearily stumbled into work and checked my www.realityfanforum.com inbox. In it was a gift from a fellow Survivor watcher and Oakland A’s fan. It read as follows:
