Knicks Acquire Patrick Ewing Jr… Still Clueless?

In a very quiet move outside of New York, the Knicks acquired Patrick Ewing Jr. from the Houston Rockets in exchange for the draft rights for Frederic Weis.  This trade is hilarious/awesome/strange on so many levels.

Knicks fans may finally be able to rejoice and get closure on the infamous 1999 Draft seletion of Weis over local hero and St. John’s baller, Ron Artest.  Obviously, Weis - yes, the man Vince Carter dunked on by literally jumping over his entire body - isn’t going to come over from France anytime soon to play for the Rockets - but how hysterical is it now that both Artest and Weis are on the same roster - in Houston, of all places.

The Redeem Team: The Cost of Redemption

This morning the United States men’s basketball team returned back to its rightful place atop the basketball world for the first time since 2000.  After poor showings in the 2002 and 2006 World Championships and a bronze medal in the 2004 Summer Games, the USA set out on a 3-year commitment to build chemistry and camaraderie on and off the court, earning it the nickname The Redeem Team heading into this year’s world tournament.

But how much is this Redeem Team worth?

With a team assembled of the NBA’s elite, it was surprising that only 3 of the league’s top 25 highest-paid players were on the USA roster - Jason Kidd $21.4M, Kobe Bryant $21.3M, and Michael Redd $15.8M.  The 12 players on The Redeem Team will combine to earn $160.6M in 2008-09 NBA estimated salaries, an average of $13.4M each.  However, that figure includes Deron Williams ($5M) and Chris Paul ($4.6M), who are both entering the final year of their rookie contract - both of whom recently signed contract extensions of nearly $70M over 4 years - an average of roughly $17M per season.  Take those two salaries out and it cost $151M for 10 guys, an average of $15.1M per.

COED Presents: 10 Things Guys Hate About Sports

Sports are arguably too important in the average guy’s life. Guys are the ones arguing against that point. Sports cause guys to skip family events and work obligations for meaningless mid-season games and preseason action. Yet there is the negative half of sports; the kinds of things that make the average guy cringe at when he spends his average 60 hours a week “with” his favorite teams. Now there can be a number of things guys hate about sports, but I thought I’d come up with just a few:

Fresno State Earns Stunning NCAA Title

In Stunning Victory Fresno State Wins The College World Series

Steve Susdorf brandished the championship trophy and Kris Tomlinson held a bag of ice to the left eye socket he had bruised moments earlier in a celebratory dog pile. Their Fresno State teammates wandered through a crowd of players, coaches, friends and family in front of the first-base dugout, looking for people to hug.

Four weeks after they scraped into the NCAA tournament, seeded fourth and last in their regional pod, the Bulldogs were perhaps the most unlikely champions in college baseball history, and no one could stop smiling. [uwire]
