    Good article, you break down a sticky issue quite well. I would like to think JJ knows his limits, that he is a solid backup PG....

    Hey,

    I know you are a big NBA fan and if you are a true NBA then you know of the travesty that is currently happening in Oklahoma City. I am not talking about the Sonics moving there, I am talking about Kevin Durant being held captive on that team.

    The team is stuck in a perpetual cycle of rebuilding. How are they going to resign all those high draft picks? They can’t offer everyone one of those guys over $10M a year and if they sign Durant to the max offer of $14M a year, which they’ll have to, then they cannot afford to sign a good supporting cast to help him win.

    So, what I am asking for you is to come help me out with FreeDurant.com and write little posts about why it would be great for Durant to come to your city and help your team win a championship.
    If you are interested go here: http://www.freedurant.com/about there is an email link on the bottom of that page.

    Let’s create a storm to get Durant out of OKC to a place where he can win a championship!

    And the site is going to be going through some revamp soon, just taking a while to get the graphics done.

    Yeah I know it's getting pretty tiresome, but here's my take on Brett Favre's legacy.

    Take a look when you get minute.

    Hey Damian, I am a big Washington Wizards fan I was wondering do you think this Jason Terry to Wizards thing is going to go down. In reports they have said Dallas would do this because they would save about $30 million by trading Terry. Also, they may due this because Dirk Nowitzki is a free-agent in two years so they may need as much money to sign him back also. But whats your take on all of this

    Wizards get
    Jason Terry
    Jerry Stackhouse

    Dallas gets
    number 5 pick
    Mike James
    Etan Thomas
    Deshawn Stevenson

    I honestly have no idea how the game is. Waiting until the next paycheck to get The Show so I probably won't find out whether it's good or not haha. I just love the commercial and with the Giants being my team and Lincecum being the stud he is, I had to put it up. Took some screenshots from YouTube to get the one I wanted, but I got it and I'm quite happy with the results.
