Under new reigns this season as Avery Johnson tries to right the once sunken ship, the New Jersey Nets picked up Sasha Vujacic from the Los Angeles Lakers. Vujacic had sort of an up and down six year tenure with the Lakers, but was able to win Championships. He may not be the 15-20 point guard who got significant minutes, but look at where he was playing. The Lakers had and still do have a lot of talent and depth…

We won ONE game last year…

The proliferation of the media has drastically changed what the public digests when it comes to sports news and information. Gone are the days of covering for the big stars, like womanizer Babe Ruth, in an effort to preserve their spotless images and ensure their play on the field remains the story. In some ways, the sports media has become the enemy of athletes due to its lust for controversy. Mundane write-ups [...]
