Cue the ramblings....

here we go...
  • Jameer Nelson out indefinitely.... Yes, we already talked about this....but the Orlando Magic just went and traded for....ready? Tyronn Lue!! he's the solution?!? And don't worry... I've seen the Lue/Anthony Johnson PG duo before....Orlando is done....it's a 2-team East race....hear me now....

  • Patriots franchise tag Matt Cassel....this was reported weeks ago but it became official yesterday....definitely not a shock....but it would a shock to me if they DIDN'T trade him judging by the reports of Brady throwing already....Chiefs seem like a good option (Pioli, etc.) but don't discount the Lions....and this is another windfall for the Pats b/c they'll get a ton for him in a trade and upgrade (and get younger) on defense...

  • Elton Brand out for the year.... Good riddance? The worst signing of this offseason (5 years, 80 mill) gets worse....but hey, Philly's playing better without him anyway...cue Marreese Speights...

  • Ray Allen replaces Nelson on the East All-Star team......I would've gone Mo Williams....in a landslide...or even Rajon Rondo (I like to have the whole point guard thing) but I'm not outraged at all really....Allen's rebounded nicely this year

  • Todd Haley hired in Kansas City....no surprise here at all.... I'm not sure what his impact will be, but they were pretty abysmal.... Pioli is the bigger impact hire there
  • LA beats Boston on the strength of some questionable officiating and some big FTs.... Let's not get carried away as to the meaning of this one....but LA may have some confidence they didn't have before after that one...ESPECIALLY when Kobe shoots 10-29 on the road and they still win
  • Pat Summitt wins 1000 games...there's nothing really to say...she's a better women's basketball coach than any men's coach has been in their sport....at least that's what the numbers say...she took that job at a ridiculously young age and has built an empire from scratch....amazing
  • Michael Phelps "suspended" 3 months..... this really doesn't matter at all...QUICK! name a swimming event in the next 3 months....LOL....good luck with that.... I laugh at the "message" being sent
Longgg today....so that'll be it
