There's a height limit on taking charges. Withey exceeds it.

Nash already out for 2 weeks at minimum. He might need to adopt Shaq's late career NBA season routine.

It really doesn't matter which teams are playing or what main event RAW puts out. The NFL machine keeps on running without worry.

There was a time when you only needed a valid student email address (.edu) to sign up for Amazon student. Amazon probably has closed that loophole by now.

Anyone read the first issue of the new Sandman; Overture?

How about "Best For Business"? Stern is way better at that gimmick anyway.

Avoid shooting free throws, yall.

So you're saying they should trade him, right? Easier said than done. Whether you think much of him as a player or not, he has too much value on the market to simply let him walk.

Yeah, I'm reading this book as well. I'm only about 100 pages into it though. Early on, I wasn't feeling it. The section dedicated to the movies/entertainment industry in the mid-1900s didn't grab me, but it has pulled me in with the stories about the Mormons and their viligante gang. Nice cover too.

First "Is your mother a prostitute?" and now this mess.Dolphins snatching headlines for everything but winning. Miami Hurricanes' scandals > Miami Dolphins scandals DEL RIOoooooooooo Sorry. I just can't look at Coach Del Rio without Alberto's WWE theme popping into my head. Song is catchy.

With Melo heading into free agency, the Knicks need to be better than average this season to keep his attention. Early, of course, but it's not looking good so far. Bulls Vs. Pacers should be fun tonight. Apparently, the league told Derrick Rose to stop wearing neck tape. He says he does not know why either. What the hell?

I keep trying to tell you guys, that is not a Daniel Bryan thing. It's something that the crowd does and Daniel Bryan just happened to be the guy that was doing it with them first. You're right. People have been saying "yes" for centuries now.

I am dying at Big Show co-opting Bryan's chant and not giving one fuck. Hilarious.

The Chargers running backwards to do passing plays at the goal-line? Great stuff.

OR WILL THEY?

That's not a touchdown, but the Redskins' defense will let them in soon enough.

Hibbert coming for that Defensive Player of the Year Award. The stat geeks can't get Marc that award again.

Carlos Boozer is still the Bulls second best score, huh? I get not picking the Heat to repeat, but I don't see this Bulls team, as presently constructed, being the favorites out of the whole league. Oh, they'll be good. Play harder than anybody, play great defense, and win a bunch of games. They still got the same scoring issues though. They must be expecting a lot from Butler this year. That's not to say they can't comeback in this game though. Miami always takes their foot off the gas in these type of games.Barkley already calling the Pacers team "terrific". I expected him to pick them to win the champion by the fifth game of the season.

Sweet Tyrone. The Clippers might scored 80 on that squad before half-time. On paper, this Lakers team might be spectacularly horrid on defense this year. I can't wait!

On paper, the Nets should be in there. Father time and injuries are what they're going to have to fight.

I've enjoyed the Grantland NBA previews too. They've been entertaining for the most part. I don't take the rankings or predictions too seriously so that helps. Plus, it is a quick way to find out who moved to new teams. Richard Jefferson is on the Utah Jazz now? Oh, okay. Things like that... Edit: Yeah, but once Rose stayed out of it, the East really looked depleted after Miami last year. There were more than a few who thought the Heat were going to sweep through the Eastern playoffs. Pacers showed up in the playoffs, but outside of them, the East was not very top heavy.

I whine about the refs and the league at times, but it's always going to be my favorite sport. I'm glad it's back. People have been clowning the East for years now, but I think the top 4 teams are legit this year. East will be fun. The Bulls and Thibs usually play the regular season like their lives depend on it so I wouldn't be surprise if they get a victory over the Heat tomorrow. I want an Oden sighting and at least one Noah and Lebron confrontation. Noah can't help but annoy.

The Dolphins and Pats game is going pretty much how I thought. Early lead for Miami, but they never step on the opponent's throat and it ends with a Pats' victory. From 3-0 to 3-4.

This is obviously what the writers wanted but it took me a bit to embrace the Sarah character. She's still not my favorite, but at least I don't think she's just a misunderstood, brat now. The military boyfriend and the male cop are bland and sometimes grating though. Felix and Alison scenes are fun.

Felix from Orphan Black is probably one of my favorite characters on television. Funny scenes. Without giving anything away, I'm not sure about some of the storylines on the show, and it's a bit too campy for my taste. I'm still interested in seeing where the second season will go.
