Michael Grange – Angling For A Mention In Iverson’s Hall Of Fame Speech

While Allen Iverson’s mooted retirement has been met with howls of protest from former coaches John Thompson and Larry Brown, the Globe & Mail’s Michael Grange refuses to join the chorus hailing the game’s most prolific small scorer. Calling Iverson “a minor NBA figure”, Grange castigates A.I. as having “thrived only if enough role players could be assembled to buy into his me-first version of basketball”.

Mets like Sheets upside...

The Mets took a very long look at Ben Sheets last year, eventually they ruled him out over concerns with his throwing shoulder. They were right to be cautious as Sheets lost the entire season as he recovered from arm surgery.
The Mets have begun to discuss the possibility of adding Sheets, according to Newsday, with the idea of snagging what could be a bargain off the market. Sheets is arguably the most prominent free-agent starter left now that Derek Lowe signed with Atlanta, but his Source: Mets Fever RSS Feed

McDaniels Taunted Chargers: ‘We Own You Guys’

Earlier today I posted that San Diego’s XPRS-AM radio reporter Marty Caswell reported there was a rumor going around Invesco Field in Denver that Broncos Coach Josh McDaniels had “taunted” the Chargers linebackers before the Broncos lost to San Diego 32-3.

Chargers Linebackers Shawne Merriman and Stephen Cooper confirmed to Caswell after the game that McDaniels had indeed taunted them, with the coach reportedly saying to the San Diego linebackers group, “We own you guys.”

Chances slim of Byrd returning to the Rangers

I completed a post on Marlon Byrd, here.
While not being the most appealing candidate, if Bay and Holliday go else where he maybe the best of whats left. Byrd has been in talks with the Rangers since the end of the season but it does not appear that they will be able to negotiate a contract...
"We've had a decent amount of conversation," Daniels said. "I expect them to test the market. Based on what they're looking for...we're not in a position to do that right now. We expect them Source: Mets Fever RSS Feed

Thierry Henry’s Responsibility

In my piece yesterday, I discussed all of the reasons that Ireland’s potential qualification was better for World Football than France’s would be. I detailed my reasoning without any mention that a group of hard working custodians of the game should not be denied by a group of talented but unsporting cheats. But that is what ended up being the net result of the match on Wednesday.  (Aiden McGeady is the one Ireland player we will exempt from this comparison)

What's Working for the Raptors

Chris Bosh and Hedo Turkoglu have the Raptors scoring buckets in bunches.
The hazards of small sample size theater run rampant during the opening weeks of any sports season. Look no further than the efficiency numbers of Paul Davis and Acie Law if you want an idea of how a tiny data set can skew results.
That being the case, it's hard to look at Toronto's top-ranked offense through nine games (113.7 points per 100 possessions) and Source: ESPN RSS Feed
