For all the awesome product the NBA has churned out over the past two years, one of the larger gripes has been the lack of blockbuster trades. Bill Simmons rewarded himself a cookie when he deemed the league the No Balls Association vis a vis these lack of trades. Also, because he was a bit [...]

Weak Side Late Assignment: The South Done Rose
Mickey: If you look around the sports landscape these here days, you have no choice but to come to one conclusion: the South is much better at the sports that matter than any other region.
Disclaimer: We are, of course, referring to the South in the most 21st Century War of Northern Aggression ways. Central [...]
Pink Slippage: The Slope Is Slippery
All things considered, I tend to live in the future past. That is to say that when something happens, I tend to think in very David-Sedarisian terms of, “Wow, this is gonna make a great analogy for something else that will happen in the indefinable future.” And so it came to pass that I found [...]
MLB Power Rankings – August 11th
After a one week vacation, the Cubicle GM Power Rankings return with a vengeance. There is a new team atop the ranks, as on the heels of a seven-game winning streak the New York Yankees have ascended to the peak of baseball.

One More Before I Slip Away

Mile Markers
The American world of baseball descended upon the Gateway to the West this week. There was carousing and merriment. There were displays of power, of cunning. And in the end, as always, the AL defeated the National League. Bringing us these events employed a small army of analysts, interviewers, and announcers, and yet, it was [...]
Assassins to Watch, Bred in the Best City in the South
The NBA’s Summer League got off to its inoncuous start this past week. Not usually terribly fan-friendly for most followers of the League — or at least not a very meaningful exercise in fandom — this year has proven to be no exception, as only 21 of the 30 NBA franchises have actually fielded a [...]
Smokey’s Potpourri
Salutations, internet. I planned on doing this big ol’ piece comparing my rise through the ranks of life and Hollywood with that of Adam Morrison, but life throws a wikid curveball sometimes and you, dear reader, get to be the lucky recipient of my mind drivel. Without further ado, here be a potpourri of the [...]
