Ron,

Pick your pleasure. You can either check out my recap of the fabulous Dolphins win over the Panthers last night, or my preview of the upcoming contest between the Heat and the Raptors; or you could check them both out.

If you have the time to check either of them out, let me know what you think…lol

JW Nix made a great argument for the suspension of Brady Quinn. However, after I examined it, I felt that Brady Quinn needed a defense attorney.

Good morning! I'd like to refer you to a piece that was written by Juan which I think could serve as a good tool for younger writers.

Do you blame the Knicks struggles this season on Chris Duhon? See what I think.
