“(Smith) darted, slithered and followed his blockers, and squeezed yard after yard out of plays that didn’t have any yards in them. He didn’t look especially fast or powerful or blindingly deceptive, yet he couldn’t be stopped.” -Telander, Rick

Emmitt James Smith, III (born May 15, 1969) was a running back in the NFL for fifteen seasons during the 1990s and 2000s.

So, Dez Bryant refused to carry Roy “Visor-Hands” Williams’ (or anyone else’s) pads. First of all, Roy shouldn’t even have been leaving the practice field with Dez. Roy’s sorry ass should have STAYED on the field another couple of hours, running routes and catching (and dropping) many balls. Heck…Roy should live in a tent on [...]

Our dear friend, associate and SJ family member, Scott aka NYSR, is about to undergo urgent, critical, experimental chemo treatment for cancer. No one has to tell you how expensive such treatment is.
So, the Staff of SJ has designed and will implement a special T-Shirt that will go on sale immediately. 100% of the profits [...]

And no, I’m talking about racism. I’m talking about that one-way sense of entitlement that sports fans (& owners…especially ones named Dan Gilbert) selectively and conveniently acquire regarding players. All I’ve heard out of Cleveland since LeBron’s “Decision” are words like “traitor”, “disloyal”, “cowardly”, “betrayal”…and those are just the ones repeatable on a family site.

I’ve also seen LeBron jerseys burned…which, while I get the point of the expression,[...]

At 12:01 AM tonight (July 1), the feeding frenzy of the 2010 NBA Free Agency class begins…sort of. I say sort of because despite all the predicted mayhem of movement, absolutely nothing of significance will occur until LeBron James makes his move…or non-move.
“El Brondito” James holds 2010 NBA Free Agency hostage!
He is a one-man terrorist [...]

Demons have mystical powers. That comes with being a demon. Two years ago, one of Kobe Bryant’s demons strolled into the Lakers’ sullen Game 6 post-blow-out-title-loss locker room. The demon caught up with Kobe literally as Kobe was exiting the shower. After briefly surveying the disappointment and embarrassment on Kobe’s face, the demon [...]

NBA fans over the age of 15 certainly remember Toni Kukoc, aka “the Croatian Sensation”, “the white Magic” even “the European Jordan”. He played in the NBA from 1993 to 2006, most famously (or infamously, depending on one’s perspective) with the Bulls from 1993 to 2000.
On paper and on his European precedence, Toni was an [...]

I admit, as a Lakers fan, it’s hard not to be excited right now. After all, our “Lake Show” just dominated the hated Celtics in Game 1…in virtually every phase of the game.
Pau Gasol made Kevin Garnett look as if he were about as old and stale as one of the late great Red Aurbach’s [...]

The “All That”…

The Draft: You know how it works. Like all professional leagues in America, the NBA holds one every year. It’s designed, of course, to give the crappy teams leverage in the acquisition of new, young talent. The NBA relatively recently even injected a draft lottery, to supposedly keep said crappy teams from tanking [...]
