Shared by booyaa
heh
One of the things that sucks about getting injured (apart from the physical pain) is the annoyance of having to explain what happened ad nauseam. That is where these illustrative slings come in, they preempt the whole, â

Boston College Cross Cutting Inbounds Play
bruchu via X’s & O’s of Basketbal on Sun, 23 Nov. 2008
Went through some recorded games from yesterday's busy schedule of college basketball games and I saw this interesting baseline out of bounds play by Boston College at the end of their game against St. Louis. The game was already out of reach for BC, but I like this BLOB play because I think you can get a decent look underneath the basket against any form of M2M defense. Take a look,

Stats vs. Scouts
Graham via Lookout Landing on Fri, 21 Nov. 2008
So I've been thinking about this post for about a year now, but I've never got around to writing it properly. Well, I have 45 minutes to kill, so it's as good a time as any. I realise that I'm probably preaching to the choir here but whatever.
"Stats vs. scouts" is one of the central arguments in baseball circles, leading to mildly horrifying levels of vitriol leveled at members o

They've successfully stripped same-sex couples of their right to wed. What's next for Magic Underpants, Inc.? Making stripping—or "pole dancing"—an Olympic sport.

13 Seconds or More
(unknown author) via ESPN.com - True Hoop - Blog on Fri, 21 Nov. 2008
ESPN's Kevin Arnovitz (also the force behind Clipperblog) was up late watching the Suns lose to the Lakers, and got to thinking about the post D'Antoni offense in Phoenix. Has there ever been a point guard who could find a high-percentage shot for his team more quickly and effortlessly than Steve Nas

(unknown author) via Baseball-Intellect on Tue, 18 Nov. 2008
Continuing our look at each team's Top-15 Prospect List, we continue with the Los Angeles Dodgers and their top-5 prospects:
The top spot was basically a three-way tie in my book but I gave a slight edge to Ivan De Jesus over James McDonald and Andrew Lambo and I explain part of my reasoning below:
DeJesus has an extremely advanced approach at the plate. His batting eye and plat

Four O'Clock Flash: 99 Bricks
(unknown author) via Woot! - One Day, One Deal on Wed, 12 Nov. 2008
The very, very first time Young Jason Toon played Tetris, I thought the point was to use the pieces to build a tower. So I thought I was really good at it. You can imagine my disappointment when I finally learned the truth about that game last week. But the game I had in mind lives and breathes as 99 Bricks, where you stack
