Isiah Thomas could replace Mike Dunleavy. The Isiah Thomas. Seriously. According to Jeff Goodman of FOX Sports, the Clippers have reached out to Thomas about becoming the coach, GM and team president.

I honestly don’t know what else to add.

pigsplosionIts finally time. Kind of. I mean, you have to wait until Sunday. I’m sure you’re all aware of when the Super Bowl actually takes place, right? I hope so. It’s 2010. You’ve had a few years to get used to the schedule. Pregame starts at 8am, kickoff at 6… something. Its sometime after 6. I’m not 100% sure. Who can remember something that specific?

Peru's 1st Winter Olympian: Roberto Carcelen met his wife online, they chatted 5 hours a day every day and eventually he moved to Seattle to be with her. She got him into cross-country skiing. This is just like You've Got Mail, but with skis. He just started skiing at the age of 34. Too bad the Olympics don't come with a cash prize. (Seattle Times) (6)

Doug Collins and Kevin Harlan Aren’t Impressed With JaMarcus Russell’s Jewelry

NBA, NFL 96 Comments »

Update: Well… TNT has had the video yanked. Which is strange since you can find plenty of other TNT footage on YouTube that’s been uploaded by random people.  I can’t imagine why. Update 2: Boom. Found the video again.

JaMarcus Russell attended whatever game Kevin Harlan and Doug Collins were working last Thursday (Suns-Mavs maybe?) and the cameras caught him court side fully blinged-out. Seriously, have you ever heard two people more disgusted with the way someone had spent their money? I completely agree with them, but they sound like disappointed grandparents.

Ilya Kovalchuk will be traded. Atlanta Thrashers' GM Don Waddell told the star forward to expect a traded very soon. Apparently, Kovalchuk and the Thrashers haven't been able to reach a deal on a contract extension. No one has any clue where Kovalchuk will land, but everybody wants him. At least that's the impression I got from the myriad of links Souvenier City sent me. (TSN, Puck Daddy) (14)

Tim Duncan and Urijah Faber: Separated At Birth

MMA, NBA 19 Comments »

Urijah_Faber_Tim_DuncanFormer WEC featherweight champion Urijah Faber attended the Kings-Spurs game last night at his home away from home, ARCO Arena. He caught up with Tim Duncan before the Spurs’ win and they posed for one of those pictures that all fans have to take with fighters – clenched fists. Its super-badass.  Faber will co-headline the WEC’s first PPV event in April in ARCO. I have no idea if Duncan – or any fans – will buy the $44.99 PPV.

NFL, NFL Draft, Tim Tebow 84 Comments »

uche_nwaneriTim Tebow’s potential drafter – the Jacksonville Jaguars – employs a detractor! Three-year veteran, Uche Nwaneri posted some critical words about Tebow on the Jaguars official message board. It’s pretty much everything that everyone has been saying about Tebow for the last couple years, but this is from a lineman on the team that many think will actually draft Tebow.
