So the NBA season is done and the Draft is a little over a week away. It’s Mock Draft Time.
1. Chicago Bulls- Michael Beasley, PF – Kansas State
It’s not the sexy pick, what with Rose being from Chicago and all, but it’s the right pick. The Bulls have a good set of guards with Gordon, [...]

I saw this YouTube video earlier today where a HS baseball team intentionally drills an Umpire. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tsFSALrA1o) The clip shows the pitch about 4 times, once in slow motion, so you can really see what is going on. For me, it only took one viewing. As somebody who caught all through HS and one year [...]

Alliteration aside, I feel very strongly that the best baseball being played right now, isn’t being watched as much as it should be. ESPN2 has been carrying the College World Series from Omaha, Nebraska, but, as usual, not enough people are giving college baseball the love it deserves.
Not only is the sound of the metal [...]

Over the last few years boxing has been in a battle for fans with the growing number of Mixed Martial arts fight leagues, most notably UFC and now that they hold the rights to Kimbo Slice, EXC (not to mention they house my favorite fighter, Gina Carano). As the fan base for MMA continues to [...]

Bernard Hopkins has had a great career, compiling 48 wins and holding championships in the Middleweight and Light Heavyweight divisions, but the future Hall of Famer is bad for boxing’s desire to increase marketability.
As a boxing fan, I have great respect for Bernard Hopkins as a fighter. “The Executioner” is immensely talented, hard-working and [...]

Hidden underneath the recent controversies in the NBA, such as the possible fixing of games, is the undeniable fact that the NBA is in need of some serious restructuring. Seven of the top ten teams in the NBA come from the Western Conference. Once you get past Detroit, Orlando and Boston in the East, there [...]
