It¹s summer, it¹s hoops and it¹s girls. Strike 3, yer out. Well, sorry, this story is really quite extraordinary. So here goes. The North Tartan 15 year old...
With Beijing only a few weeks away, here are some U.S. Olympics teams based on their pro careers. Players are placed in the last Olympic year they would have...
Another draft, another trade. This one supposedly was engineered by Taylor himself. Perhaps he was nervous about the box office potential of a troubled man...
On draft day I almost sent a post saying, Pick Love! Pick Love! Then I thought, well, Mayo is a good pick. And, then, I couldn¹t help but think about Ray...
What happened to McCants? Despite his issues, he seems more like an NBA starter than Brewer. The Wolves got Love, Miller and (in the long run) a few million...

They offered Gomes, Smith and Richard. They may go after Telfair but like I said, there¹s a bunch of free agent 1s out there. The Wolves actually have some...
Brewer has not done anything to justify being an NBA starter. He did not score at all, he did not pass (lousy assist ratio), he did not rebound, and he did...

Don't know about Richard, but Gomes and Smith would have been the two I would have offered contracts too. Agree on the availability of decent backup point...
Assuming the guys they traded, like Mayo, don't come back, who are the five (if I'm counting them all) top draft picks of the Wolves who never played for them?...
OK, this is off the top of my head, so I'm not cheating by checking the internet. Assuming that we consider Ndudi Ebi and Will Avery's enormous contribtutions...

Well, I guess Alan is in mourning today. I think Packer¹s legacy is mixed. He taught viewers a bit about the game. But his bias (you mean bilas?) was...
Why would I mourn for that? When was I a Billy Packer fan? I don't like knee jerk stereotypes, whether it's Packer's old style categories of ath-u-letic...
Wow, did anybody else miss my attempt at irony? Marc On 7/15/08 11:18 AM, "Alan Holst" <alanholst@...> wrote: Why would I mourn for that? When was I a...
Oh, I assumed it was irony, so if anyone took my comment as being offended that was not my intention. But not knowing what particulars made the ironic...
I read that Rick Mahorn shoved Lisa Leslie, but the only time I saw the footage was on an airport TV from a distance. It looked to me like Leslie was coming at...
I¹ve heard it said that the Twins have hit exceptionally well with runners on base/runners in scoring position (RISP). Frankly, it is hard to imagine any...
Oh, and BTW, some mid-season analyses suggest that the Twins most incredible weaknesses are in the OF and at 3B. At 3B it¹s true that Mike Lamb is the culprit...
My fault that this ended up on the basketball list. I inadvertently put my original post here. When I saw it was in the wrong place, I re-posted it on the...
I also thought he tried to fend her off, and given the size difference between the individuals, that might have caused the player to go flying further than...

Interesting that Nancy Lieberman has signed a seven-day contract with Detroit. I take it this is to help them through the time that Pierson and Milton-Jones...
Marc Hugunin is finally disconnecting the old land line for his business. He thinks maybe this newfangled mobile thing is here to stay. Call 651-491-1981 ...
From LeRoy Gardner's obituary: "There's no doubt that LeRoy Gardner Jr. was a playground basketball legend. And it's become community lore that as a freshman...
Good catch. My wife pointed out the obit to me, but I haven¹t read it yet. I was planning on sending out a note on MnBuckets concerning his death. I couldn¹t...
