Men need to be careful about Viagra..
It diverts the blood flow from your brain and sends it to the cylindrical pendulous. But, on a lighter note, many men confuse the two when it comes to thought and judgement, anyway. LMAO

Redeem this article
I see I'm late to the game: Everyone has noted how trivial and obvious it is that there's a business enterprise behind the NBA players who make up the US team. In China, no less! And that someone was probably paid for coming up with the phrase ''Redeem Team.'' Who knew? I had hoped that this article would be about some *sports-related* ...

B-ball
It is interesting, the evolutional path described by young talented players, determined to be older rich players in the sport of basketball. However, it is also interesting to note the decline in fan participation of (American) professional basketball. It has been said, by others much more knowing than I, that football, for example, if a sport ...

Referree Sentencing
Let's substitute the word ''gambling'' for ''cocaine,'' or ''sex with minors,'' or ''heroine,'' or ''meth'' and make the defendant a 23-year old Latino male and lets see how the judge calculates the sentence. This reader expects that rather than have a sentence divided by 1/2, the guilty party would more likely get it doubled. I LOVE America but ...

Re: Wait a second on ballers chasing oversea $$
first of all the rule created by david stern and the nba has a greater impact on african american basketball players. baseball, soccer and tennis all allow players to compete at the professional level according to their talent not age. we could debate whether this was racist but this not the time for that debate. the american basketball ...

Re: More like soccer
As a huge soccer fan, that's exactly what I was thinking. One thing I haven't seen addressed is the issue of transfer fees. What if a European team only agrees to sign a US high school player for a minimum 2 (or more) year deal. Is he going to wait it out in Europe for 2 year? I seriouly doubt he wants that. Instead, he'll want to come to the NBA ...

Only for the kids with bad grades...
Given the success of Rose & Oden & others making the NCAA finals during their ''year'' of college, plus the dominance of one-and-dones in the 1st round of the draft, I don't see most kids choosing to leave behind their entire communities and support systems to go hang out in Croatia for a year. The year of college makes them that much more ...

Wait a second on ballers chasing oversea $$
Good for the kids, why not take the money to do what they go to college for. But I think there is one point that is hugely overlooked by all columnists on this issue: why would the European teams desire an eighteen year old ball player that will only play for one year before jumping to the NBA? Maybe to land a ''big'' name high schooler? ...

I care about racehorses- BUT
Steroids should be banned. But by the industry, not by the Federal government. Its all entertainment, and our congress should take care of the peoples ''business''. They can't fix the healthcare system but they can hold an endless series of hearings posturing and grandstanding for their photo op's and sound byte's. For what? I want my ...

give kevin a freakin' break...
josh, seriously, man, it is refreshing to see a professional super talented sports player display some emotion. obviously this man has worked his tail off to maintain this goal. who knows where or how far he had to come physically, emotionally and mentally to reach this goal? if he wants to freak out and quote james cagney (as you say), ...
