We’re over a month into the season and I figured what better time than to roll out the first chopping block of the ’08 campaign for major league managers. As I mentioned in our season preview, there seems to be a lot of parody in the league this year and while the D-backs and Red Sox are off to. . . more

As I recently discussed in the post The New Globetrotters, International players (foreign players that never played high school or college basketball in the United States) are here to stay and the NBA is better because of it.

I guess this is my so-called ripoff of Walker's Rants (There, I got the obligatory AGM LB reference out of the way first thing!).
