Here is a solid run down of what happened in the world of sports on Thursday 9/13/07.
“Wade Boggs has a drinking problem: The Origin of the Beer Drinkin Myth” (TastyBooze)
“The NFL slapped Bill Belichick with a maximum fine of $500,000 Thursday for videotaping Jets defensive signals. The Pats were fined $250,000 and will lose a 2008 first-round pick if they reach the playoffs, or second- and third-round picks if they don’t.” (Bodog)
“Eagles fans give McNabb three weeks to win the Super Bowl” (The Onion)
“So much for Greg Oden being the “safe” pick. Time to start comparing Thursday’s news to Portland’s biggest draft disaster.” (Bill Simmons - ESPN)
“St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Rick Ankiel says he met with Major League Baseball officials earlier this week and answered questions about the human growth hormone he was reportedly prescribed in 2004, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.” (AOL Sports)
After six months of hype, a tanking controversy, a debate over #1, trade rumors and a completely bizarre lottery outcome, the NBA Draft is finally here. In the sports world, the NBA draft is nestled between right below the NFL draft and right above the baseball All-Star game on the annual sporting events of importance list, and this year looks to bolster the rosters of the Northwest Division as Portland and Seattle will draft in the top two positions. We know the first two picks, and then we roughly know the next eight… just not the order. It should be interesting to see what happens with Atlanta, a franchise on the verge of facing a revolution among their fan base after years of being miserable, and also with Memphis, who may be packing their bags out of the city sooner than people think.
Before we get going, let me say that I think Nick Young out of USC is an absolute stud, and think he will be great. I would take him over both Yi and Brandan Wright. The kid shot 45 percent from three point land, brought a overmatched USC team to the Sweet Sixteen and knocked Kevin Durant out of the NCAA Tournament.
With that said, let’s get going with my first running diary for Coedmagazine.com, I will be your guide to everything NBA Draft for at least the lottery part of the draft, and if I’m feeling randy, I’ll probably stick around to see what Isaiah does with the Knicks picks.
7:00 pm - 15 seconds into the draft coverage, we get our first glimpse of Joakim Noah. He looks like he should be a building manager in a 1970s sitcom, or Will Smiths younger brother in “A Pursuit of Happiness�?
7:04 - Three analysts, three exact same opinions. The top two are money, and after that could go either way. Thanks Mike Tirico, Stephen A. Smith and Mark Jackson. Also trade rumor #1 of tonight involving the Celtics and the Sonics, Ray Allen for the #5, Delente West, and Wally Sczerbiak. Isn’t Ray Allen 32?
7:05 - Atlanta had a chance to grab Amare Stoudamire, AMARE STOUDAMIRE! And missed it because they couldn’t decide if they want to give up both the three and the 11. How do they not pull this deal? With an inside scorer like Stoudamire, and Joe Johnson running the show, the Hawks automatically contend for a playoff spot in the East.
7:12 - According to Dick Vitale, the future TrailBlazer Greg Oden is a little Hakeem Olajuwan, Patrick Ewing, Tim Duncan, and Alonzo Mourning all in one. That’s three Hall of Famers and 7 kidneys wrapped up in one #1 pick. No Pressure Greg Read More »
