Lakers need to play like its 2000
Written by Chris Shellcroft | April 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Lake Show Life (Lakers)
We’ve been down this path before. Just like Trinity told Neo, we too know exactly where this road ends. As Laker fans we’ve encountered this scenario almost 10 years ago to the day.
Quick, call up John Cusack and tell him fire up the hot tub. We’re going back to 2000!
Back then, the Lake Show was a finely tuned war machine being led by first year coach Phil Jackson. PJ’s Zen approach awoke the slumbering beast and the seeds of a budding dynasty were sewn.
A funny thing happened on the way to the first of three titles. The best team in [...]

Today’s player analysis focuses upon the Toronto Raptors player called upon to enter the game only 11 times more than I was in 2009-10, seven-foot center Patrick O’Bryant. Despite it being his fourth official year in the Association, O̵…

Early 2010 Draft Projections
Written by Alex David, aka Short White Boy | April 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Buckets Over Broadway (Knicks)
This is a guest post from my friend Shai. He offers two caveats: 1. He doesn’t know foreign players (he claims this isn’t a racist thing, but c’mon…), and 2. He has no insider knowledge as to which specific players NBA teams are actually interested in, so this is really more a rank of his feelings about the players.
As always, I do not support or stand by Shai in any way, so any issues you have with his choices should be completely directed at him.

Immigration Debate Reaches Major League Baseball
Written by Eric Melendez | April 30, 2010 | Comments Off | FanSided, Z Featured
During the first game of the Diamondbacks vs. Cubs series in Chicago yesterday around a hundred supporters of immigrant rights were outside of Wrigley Field Stadium protesting the recently passed immigration law in Arizona. The Arizona law forces police officers to determine the immigration status of someone they think is an illegal immigrant. Opponents of [...]
NFL Committee: Super Bowl in Santa Clara
Written by Eric Melendez | April 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Niner Noise (49ers)
The NFL committee in charge of selecting sites for the Super Bowl has told the San Francisco 49ers if the stadium is built the sport’s biggest game of the year will be held in Santa Clara. Nothing is official as the committee said to the 49ers they will “support and encourage a Super Bowl bid” if Santa Clara voters approve public funding for the new stadium.
A recent poll conducted by the San Jose Mercury News and KGO-TV shows support for the measure with 52 percent of likely voters backing Measure J, 36 percent against with 11 percent undecided. Santa Clarans [...]
Brett Favre Addresses Ankle Surgery Story, “Typical Conclusion Jumping”
Written by Dan Zinski | April 30, 2010 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)
Brett Favre doesn’t want anyone jumping to conclusions in the wake of his revelation that he will need surgery on his ankle if he wants to continue playing.
Favre posted on his official site:
I want to add to the information provided in the article that was published this morning on ESPN’s website. Given the reaction to the article, and the typical conclusion jumping, I thought I’d clarify a few things.
While my ankle has been bothering me, the injury is not debilitating. For example, I’m able to work around my property without any problems. Sure – certain exercises cause some ankle pain, [...]
Mini-Camp Musings
Written by Scott Tunstall | April 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Inside the Iggles (Eagles)
After a three-month layoff, the Eagles returned to work today in preparation for the 2010 season. Getting a read on injured players, roster battles and how new faces are fitting in is impossible to gauge after one or two practices in shorts, but there were a few mildly interesting developments to ponder.
The gastric band – File this under the WTF department. Max Jean-Gilles has never been the most svelte guy on the team, but apparently his weight had become such a concern that he had a gastric band placed around the top portion of his stomach to treat his extra [...]

Reason No. 1 to be Proud
Written by Coup | April 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Rip City Project (Blazers)
The list goes on for why this is a team that you should not only be proud of, but have respect for. You know about the 300+ missed games due to injuries along with some of the atrocious timing of a few of those maladies. You know they kept fighting and you know they gave you reasons to stand and cheer. You can’t call them heroes when people are risking their lives by doing some very heroic things, they just endured the pain of a shoulder or a knee and found as much success at their choice of work as [...]
Cleary, Franzen’s Offense Not Enough: Wings drop Game 1 to the Sharks
Written by Joe Dexter | April 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Octopus Thrower (Red Wings)
When the Sharks took the ice for the first time during the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, the many question marks that swirled around the HP Pavilion arena we those of doubt.

T.O. = TD’s = Super Bowl
Written by Lee Tollison | April 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Blogging Dirty (Falcons)
Terrell Owens is a force on and off the field. When considering whether or not to sign T.O. one must consider past actions of relentlessly bashing QB’s. Do not let his age full you. Even though he is 36, Owens can still be one of the top wideouts in the league. The Falcons would benefit immensely, and Owens could be the missing link to get the Falcons to the Super Bowl.
I know many of you are reading this and thinking “yeah well I don’t want a cancer like Owens playing for my team”. To that I say, do you [...]
