Apples to Basketball
If the NBA isn’t going on, I don’t care much for watching basketball. ESPN ran another poll asking people if they would be watching more college basketball in the event of a prolonged NBA lockout, and for nearly two-thirds (63%) of respondents the answer was some form of a yes. For me though, the answer […]

A Quick Graphic That the NBA, Both Players and Owners, Should Check Out
With fans waiting on pins and needles for the Owners’ Wednesday deadline, it might serve everyone involved in the actual negotiations to think about this recent ESPN poll.

Bulls @ Hornets: Game On
Now is the time to start getting excited if you’re a Hornets fan.

New Orleans Hornets Games Cancelled Through November 30th After NBA Talks Break Down
There won’t be any New Orleans Hornets games until after December 1st at the earliest.

Everything is Not Wonderful Now
You might have to bear with me on this. First off, imagine that the parents are the Owners and the Players Association. Then open your mind to the possibility that this actually makes sense and applies to the lockout. Anyone else have a song that they think is fitting for the lockout?

Remembering Why I Left Baseball
In the long long ago I was a die-hard baseball fan. From my earliest memories until the age of 10 or so, the Mets were my true love. I was so intense that I remember shooting the television with my BB gun during a particularly trying game against the Braves. At one point I decided […]

Complete Speculation: Players and Owners Will Agree on a New CBA Shortly
I can’t help but think the Players Association headed into today’s mediator led meeting with their number one goal being getting a deal done in principle. That definitely looks weird when I put it on paper since one would think that this should have always been their intention, but the history of negotiations makes me […]
