BUYING
Evan Turner, G/F, Ohio State, Sr.
What’s more impressive: his opening night triple double of 14 points, 17 boards, and 10 assists or following that up with a 24-point, 17-rebound, 4-assist showing the next game? Turner is playing a Scottie Pippen-like point forward role for the Buckeyes and can play four positions on the floor. He [...]

It is said by Ken Rosenthal that OF Johnny Damon will be seeking a 2yr/$19M deal for any team. Damon had a good year (.284 24 HRs; 82 RBIs) at 35 years of age. The Yankees believe Damon is heading for a decline, but may still negotiate with him.
Boston OF J.D. Drew has undergone surgery [...]

Stephen Jackson got what he wanted essentially and was recently let go by the Golden State Warriors and traded to the Charlotte Bobcats. Good for him and good for the Warriors, letting go their often disgruntled forward. If we take a look back at Jackson when he was actually good, he did produce and helped [...]

Had a great week of picks and as usual, I was correct on my “game of the week” and “upset special” picks. Not too many good games this week because most of the rivalry games are next week.

Record 188-36

At around 15 seconds into the clip, you see both my client and the victim, Terrell Suggs.

I don’t know and neither does anyone else. This same team started 6-0 last year and ended up getting swept in [...]
