It is SO ON

RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We’ve finally made our way through the ESPN preview. As we struggled through the last few pieces of it, we were blindsided by the startling discovery that despite history, karma, the roster, and the other teams being better, new man on the Bristol campus Chris Sheridan has picked the Los Angeles Clippers to win the […]

At last we’ve come to the end of our 2005-06 NBA Preview, and somehow we managed to do it on the exact day before the season starts. Dumb luck? Crafty math? Both?

One has to feel bad for poor Mark Cuban. He lives in a poor apartment underneath the Mavs’ poor arena, where he watches the poor games on a small, poor B&W set, while checking his poor emails on a poor, beat-up Apple IIe. Sparse funds and recent years of extreme failure have left the poor […]
