The Great Mistake

      The 2007 NFL football season is approaching fast, and that can only mean one thing. Fantasy Football is back. It is a life long tradition of many football fanatics to gather at a particular facility, get completely drunk, and pick football players that surely will be dancing in the end zone on numerous occasions this year and help bring home some hardware to the family household.

2007 NBA Draft Review: Winners & Losers

Team By Team Breakdown of Picks

This year’s NBA draft was considered to be one of the deepest we’ve seen in a long while.  Normally I’d disagree with the experts and Jay Bilas, but this time they were right.  The new age limit rule has made all of these young kids go to someone’s college for at least a year and play against some better competition.  But no matter how deep a draft might be, some teams will still find a way to screw up their draft night and their franchise’s future.  Here is a report card of the winners and losers from last Thursday night.

Len Bias: A tragedy

I have never been a big NBA fan and the recent NBA finals didn’t change my opinions about the league. It is mostly a thug league that is heading in the wrong direction. Sure LeBron James is a great player and is good for the league. But, it was the players like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird that led the league into the glorious era that was the 1980s and paved the way for Michael Jordan.
