Cassell Buyout, Beasley, etc.

Just some random stuff today
  • Sam Cassell finally asks for a buyout from LAC...about a month too late IMO but hey...better late than never....Paging Danny Ainge...
  • My blog idol, Dan Shanoff, wrote what I think to be some foolishness this morning concerning Texas being the "new Florida" and predicting a final 4 run....let me be the first to say, I have been championing Texas all year, even saying they were better than last year's Durant-led edition....That said, I don't foresee a final 4 run by any means, and I think it's a knee-jerk reaction to a decent win over K-State last night...but K-State really isn't very good outside of Beasley and Walker, so you can pretty much just led Beasley go for 40 and still win
  • NBA Recap: Washington wins @NO behind Deshawn Stephenson's season-high 33.....Spurs come back from scoring a franchise-low FIVE first quarter points and still beat the hapless Hawks by 15....Is Detroit officially the east front-runner yet? They win again @ Denver in the 2nd of very good back-to-back road wins against the West; Boston better wake up soon or they'll be on the road more than they'd like to be in the playoffs
  • Red Sox sign Bartolo Colon to a minor league deal....didn't strike me how far he has fallen due to injury/being out-of-shape...but hey, if he can become anywhere near his peak form, this is an absolute steal for the Red Sox, and it's definitely low-risk/high-reward
  • Reggie Bush Update: In the story noone talks about still....Bush decided to just not show up to give a deposition yesterday....umm, ballsy? He has no chance to keep the heisman IMO, so USC better start working on keeping that national title (plus the split title)

Brad, you can't seriously say that after Texas beating 3 potential #1 seeds in the NCAA tourny(Kansas, UCLA, Tennessee) that that have no shot at making the final four? Recently the D has shutdown teams, holding teams to like 60 or so points the last 8-10 games or so. C'mon Brad get with it lol. Ship the 'chip to Austin.

Never did I say they had no shot....I even like them....but if you look at Shanoff's post, it's like he's anointing them, and they are still really inconsistent IMO; hook'em horns tho lol
