Tyson Gay ran 100 meters in 9.68 seconds yesterday. That would be a world record but because of such a strong tailwind, it will not qualify for the record books. Kind of strange but not as strange as the headline “Hooker wins 100-meter qualifier in 10.76 seconds.” Te he he. That’s funny. Even more funny [...]

We got 6 right in the NBA Draft

As poorly as the J Beanie mock draft went, we did get the first five picks right. That’s pretty special. And then Graig got a Portland taking Brandon Rush even though he was traded we count it. Six picks. That’s more right than I thought we’d get. Good work team.
Before we get to the Cavs [...]

OK, it’s time for the NBA Draft special interactive edition of J Beanie. Hopefully everyone will check the site frequently so we don’t have a big hold up in-between picks. Not sure how this will work but it should be fun. Make your selection and any comments about the pick, the player, the team or [...]
Mock NBA Draft suggestions?

This really isn’t a post but I wanted to get everyone’s opinions, commitments. The NBA Draft is coming up on Thursday (surprisingly the Cavs have a pick they haven’t traded away from some European pansy). I wanted to do something “interactive” for it so I was thinking we could all take turns making the picks for [...]
“Dunk” This

Can we all agree that dunking in a WNBA is not news. In fact, nothing that happens in the WNBA is news. The WNBA itself is not news, unless it folds, my God how I hope it folds. A dunk is not news. The fact that Candace Parker was able to palm a mini basketball [...]
A few name changes

A couple super sweet professional athletes are hoping, looking, trying really, really hard, for name changes.
I had a panic attack yesterday morning when I was watching SportsCenter and the Sunday Conversation was with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. (First thing that bothered me, in the intro to the piece, they talked about KG, PP and [...]

Sorry guys. Nothing to post today and I don’t feel like digging for something and putting you through a half-assed column. I know you expect greatness from me and I’m not up to it today. I’m also sad because as I predicted yesterday, a sweep by the Rockies would basically end the Cleveland Indians season. [...]
Things to do this summer

It’s not quite the dog days of summer but it’s definitely the slow days of summer. No football, no basketball, no hockey, no Tiger golf, no lacrosse, the Indians are three weeks away from Miami Heat and tanking the season and giving every regular starter an “injury.” (Losing three in a row to Colorado, if [...]
What I’ve thought about beside the NBA Finals

The Boston Celtics won the NBA Championship last night. Their 17th in the history of the franchise. Quite a feat. And I could care less. I haven’t watched more than 4 minutes and 43 seconds of the finals. In fact over the what seemed to be two months since Game 1 was played it may [...]
