Kelvin Sampson — nothing but a scoundrel
After being dismissed by yet another program, leaving it to deal with soon-to-be-found multiple NCAA sanctions and other unknown and undiscovered penalties, Kelvin Sampson will take a car ride home with $750,000 in his pocket and another devastated university left in his wake. If athletic directors around the country are any smart, home is where [...]

College Player under radar, survives streets
I stumbled across a great article today by ESPN.com writer Chris Low on a NCAA Division I basketball player by the name of Lester Hudson. Hudson, 23, is playing ball at UT-Martin and is currently the #3 scorer in all of Division I. He’s getting some real notice from the NBA scouts and leading his [...]

Blu-Ray DVD wins battle of high-def over HD-DVD
Wall Street Journal ran a story detailing the backing-out of HD-DVD of the market; that Toshiba will halt production of its players and subsequently the DVD’s.
Not to say I told you so buttttt… yeah, I told you so. Blu-ray to break it down quite simple is just a cooler format. But honestly isn’t that why [...]

Phillipe Aumont update
Back in August I wrote a short post on the Mariners signing Phillipe Aumont, their 1st round pick (11th overall) from the 2007 draft to a contract shortly before the deadline and talked about the amazing potential that this kid has.
The Mariners have invited him to Spring Training at their Peoria, AZ complex as a [...]

UConn wins thriller with South Florida
A great game that really will prepare this Husky team for the not only the Big East tournament in a few weeks but obviously the NCAA Tournament come mid-March. The Huskies also stretched their win-streak out to nine games with Austrie’s sick last-second OT winner, what a job he’s doing for the team right now. [...]

Nor Cal Juco Prospect Watch
Yuba College’s Xavier Crawford is the real deal folks. On Wednesday, February 13th, I had the opportunity to check him out against Mendocino C.C. And while Mendocino isn’t anything special, Crawford dropped 25 points on them without really even trying in about 20 minutes of action (he didn’t even start and with his No. 2 [...]

Clemens goes to court
Can the media just move on? Honestly. I’m sick and tired of hearing about the Mitchell Investigation/report. About Barry Bonds and Balco. About Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee. I’m sick of it! Let’s move on and now that Spring Training is here, turn our focus to the game of baseball. To breaking down each and [...]
