cityplanning: BLACK MAGIC which originally aired on ESPN in 2008 is finally available on DVD. It’s the story of basketball at historically black colleges,  the coaches who lead these programs, and the players who played for them.  Some, such as Winston Salem State star Earl “The Pearl” Monroe and Grambling’s Willis Reed would find fame in the NBA, but most languished in obscurity, largly ignored...

A History of Gilbert's Practical Jokes →
sportscentr: Some context for why Gilbert Arenas would leave unloaded guns in front of Javaris Crittenton’s locker as a joke. To say Arenas enjoys a good practical joke is like saying Timothy Leary enjoyed the occasional recreational drug. He responded to the veterans’ orders to bring doughnuts to practice by buying plain ones and sprinkling baby powder on them—that is, when he wasn’t buying...

Jason Kendall, 2 yrs and $6 milllion...
What exactly to make of the Royals recent Jason Kendall signing: I spilled some ink writing about the parallels between the Pirates and Royals earlier in the year. The two ‘small market teams’ have made some similar mistakes over the the course of the past two decades and the result has been a combined total of one winning season (Royals in 2003) over the past fifteen years. When the...

Lincecum busted for marijuana possession →
sportscentr: Giants ace, Cy Young candidate, and Washington native Tim Lincecum got pulled over for doing 74 in a 60 MPH zone, at which point officers confiscated a little over three grams of weed, plus a pipe.  The story claims that the officers smelled weed, but I think they probably searched the car because they didn’t believe Lincecum was old enough to drive. While you might guess Lincecum...
