There is an unofficial system of checks and balances that exists in the liminal space between NBA players, coaches, executives, owners, and fans. As soon as any piece of that continuum is too far out of balance, order is restored—eventually. Often, it is a player forced to retire due to the inevitable entropy of skill, […]

First I'll try a couple new things if I really can't keep up what I've done in the past. Then I'll let you know if that ain't working for me. Speaking of what I've done in the past - Off-season position reviews. The Nats catcher situation was bad. Having your ca...

I cracked up at the coping mechanisms like holding their breath to get low oxygen to their brain and making the Pistons uniforms darker blue to pretend they were the Grizzlies. My favorites are in b...
