I remember that became an instant debate while the draft was being televised. TNT's Kenny Smith and the ex-Georgetown coach --who refused to recruit white players at an elite, almost Ivy League level school --were very angry and outspoken about the "foreigners" taking NBA jobs. Even Uncle Dicky...

That article from 6 years ago (I posted above), pretty much tells his final football story: Went from a guy who looked like a 2000's version of Roger Carr (absolute pro bowl caliber WR inthe1970's) to a total nothing/5th WR candidatein fairly short order. I don't remember Carr, specifically, but...

Don, just wanted to add a few tidbits about Boerighter. One, he didn't just show up out of "nowhere". He wasn't even offered a NFL contract (or tryout)coming from a some small NAIA school, but he wound up going to Canada where he totally dominated from day one. I guess all those superior...

Coach Dantoni and GM Donnie Walsh continue to change the character and make-up of the Knicks. They just made an excellent 2nd round pick -- Andy Rautins, Syracuse. This could be a greatfit for him,because ifthe Knicksdo sign a couple big time free agents and re-sign David Lee, they won't...

Condren is a guy that went from a absolute "nobody" from Troy State a few years ago, into a fairly high draft pick based on his workouts. Once scouts went back and looked at the tape, they saw he was much better than they expected. Sad thing about Condren, is he never really played poorly for...

I don't remember this guy as a player, but I have some old-school baseball cards from the 1970's and I can remember the Red Sox had a blond pitcher named Reggie Cleveland, who might've been a Canadian?

A great example of the fans demonizing these players at every turn is Eric Smith of theJets. He did "okay" his first few years in the league, but wasa constant scapegoat for fans and the child-likea$$hole radio talk show hosts in NYC thatopenly root for teams and claim their is "world ending"...

I don't think O'Hanlon has a legit chance to stick. Why? Because he's already been cut by one team real early in the process. I can't recall too many players being cut before their first pre-season game that went on to have NFL careers. Chase Blackburn was a exception -- cut after a few weeks by...

Hopefully Hayward goes a bit higher. With Hawes being traded, the Kings have become a possibility. Also, I hope he does notgo to Boston. Doc Rivers seems to have a lot of control overGM Danny Ainge and my guess is he'll push hard against Hayward. Edited by: Truthteller

She's real lucky it wasn't a worse outcome, as the news reports were pretty ugly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhL3wXWvWWM&feature=player_embedded Edited by: Truthteller

This is the same round the Cubs selected Jeff Samarzidja (sp?) a couple years ago. At the time, it seemed Jeff made a idiotic choice, probably spurred on by a corrupt agent that wanted the immediate cash from the Cubs' bonus. Even Jeff's dad said he was "shocked" he son chose baseball over his...

I have no idea who has the final say in every case, but I doubt Angelo is picking guys like Todd Johnson and Steltz, then hyping them up as future starters, if he feels they project to be nothing more than career special teams mascots. Obviously him and the coaches aren't always on the same page...

I think some of you guys are, perhaps, being a bit unfair to Bears' GM Jerry Angelo. He absolutely loved Forsey -- said he thought hewould bean absolutesteal when he stuck out his neck to select to him. Bottom line is Forsey had a spot on the Bears roster and even got some starts and played well...

Freethinker, during a recent Mets/Nats game, NY announcer Keth Hernandez mentioned how much Ian Desmond looked like Derek Jeter. I had to agree with him.

I think it's great that Harper is moving to the outfield. No need for a talent like that to take a constant beating behind the plate. Dale Murphy, Craig Biggio and others moved awayfrom catcher and thrived as hitters.....I'm absolutely convinced that Minnesota is using Nick Punto/Brendan Harris...

You are correct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ike_Davis Edited by: Truthteller

I don't disagree with this, but if you look at the early rounds of the 1989 NFL draft, it seemed like white players were suddenly in vogue again -- perhaps like it was themid-70's for a single weekend in the spring'89?Then by the 1990 draft, all had changed dramatically -- only Jeff George and...
