So Anthony Davis is the real deal and already the hands down #1 pick?
Better pray for basketball in the NBA to land him and then better pray bow gets used to his unibrow.

He's very difficult to look at. The only thing the unibrow has going for it is that it distracts you from his stupid looking mouth.
Silver lining: maybe that makes him the kind of star played who'd be content to hide his ugly self in a small market!

So how is this next draft going to work after they cancel the season?
I'm thinking the lottery picks will be:
Celtics
Lakers
Lakers
Knicks
Celtics
Celtics
Knicks
Bulls
Heat
Bulls
Heat
Lakers

No one knows for sure but a lot of people think they'll copy the NHL system and use three year average record.
IOW: Cavs would be boned.

Cavs have the right to swap with Miami this year, right?
NHL style would be the only scenario where that might be worth more than a turd.

Maybe that's why Gilbert is scuttling the season.

Yeah, the school investigation in 2005 turning up nothing after ESPN reported that insanity could end up real ugly for tWWL.

Aaron Craft can make it in the NBA based on his D alone.

RE: Duke. How is the #4 team in the country that nonathletic? Rivers's kid is alright, but everyone else is poo. Anthony Parker could take them off the dribble.

Craft is a better NBA prospect than Sully, IMO. Mainly because Craft wil know and run his role in the big leagues.
That said, that game was fucking awesome.

I'm shocked that ESPN isn't reporting on how ESPN received this recording and then didn't turn it in to either the school or the police. |

Frankly, I hope Fine was innocent (and my friends that have spent nights in his basement swear he is), because ESPN refused to report on Sandusky for three days but decided this story was one they could break. Good to know they took that slander liability in stride because they had shit dating back years...... |

No, but it still makes no sense to me.
ESPN has had that tape since 2003, the cops investigated the guy in 2005 and no charges were dropped.
Something is off.

Yeah, my post was about that tape.
ESPN had a tape basically proving it, and did nothing with it. I understand not running with a story, but they had just as much responsibility to turn that tape into the school and, especially, the police as Paterno did.
It's a good thing that there is another big sports network out there so that this won't get buried.

Either ESPN didn't turn the tape over to the cops, or the cops had the tape and didn't find it to be damning enough to file charges.
Either way, this story still makes no sense.
And this guy now claims he also slept with Fine's wife? Like... WTF.

Even people who POST ON A SPORTS MESSAGE BOARD were unaware of this.
I'm sure that Joe Blow is going to know about it.

It's a good thing that there is another big sports network out there so that this won't get buried. But it was still just an uncorroborated source!!! In a world where ESPN runs Child Protective Services: Only child = fucked. "Sorry, kid! Until mommy and daddy make a little brother or sister for you and that little brother or sister comes forward with similar allegations of abuse, we're powerless to help you!" Then, of course, you think for a few minutes more, remember that ESPN's Rumor Central exists, and realize how inconsistent ESPN apparently is in its application of standards regarding corroborating sources, realize further how immaterial the existence of any sources at all (beyond SOBO & Co's imaginations/speculations/hopes/dreams) can be, and then it really gives you a good knee slap and a hardyhar. And yeah, a second major sports news network would come in pretty handy right about now, but this is sketchy enough that it should be drawing the attention of real news networks...if they weren't too busy focusing on more pressing matters like Obama forgetting to thank Jesus on Thanksgiving. |

At the very least, I am disappointed that SI hasn't covered this angle at all.
Although maybe I'm not surprised. It's the same dynamic that allows people to get away with this and other kinds of criminal behavior everywhere. Don't bust your buddies/org/people like you/colleagues. They're like you, so they can't really be bad, right?

I'd be shocked if Deitsch hasn't said something about this for SI.
On the plus side, I woke up today and flipped on ESPN to be greeted by Carolla and Simmmon's smiling faces.
What a way to start the day!

Nah, Deitsch is more concerned that Urban Meyer wasn't running around telling everyone he was going to be the next coach at OSU before there was an agreement in place.
