Reflections on the NBA Draft, Part 1

June 30th, 2008 · 6 Comments · T-Willikers

For a brief, ecstatic moment the Portland Trailblazers had Joey Dorsey—the guy who gets double-doubles with blocks and rebounds. The Blazers don’t really need him (though I’m sure they could use him) and I have some faith in their future, but who wouldn’t want this guy? He’s huge, intimidating as hell, and knows [...]

The Like-the-Sport/Hate-the-League Index

June 23rd, 2008 · 2 Comments · T-Willikers

First of all, Barry Melrose is going to be the Tampa Bay Lightning’s new coach next year. I am now mildly interested in hockey and hope he incorporates some of his signature pastel-infused style into the league.
‘This might be sort of an unfair idea considering the fact that most professional sports organizations, as multibillion [...]
