Links and stuff

With the weekend already upon us, I decided to post some links that I hope you might find a wee bit interesting. If you don't, well please accept my humble apologies and I'll never do it again (well, I probably will).

First off, lots of thanks to the writer of this article at SI.com, which has sent a lot of traffic to Thank You Brian Sabean over the past couple of days. That was certainly a nice surprise.

Now we know the real reason Jim Bowden didn't trade Alfonso Soriano at the deadline... he fell asleep. That would explain a lot, actually.

Need fantasy previews? Well, The Gatorade Dump has a whole bunch of NFL ones, and Give Me The Rock has a whole bunch of NBA ones. It's never really too early to start getting ready for the fantasy year. Or at least that's what I tell myself.

A review of the 2003 NBA Draft, AKA, Joe Dumars taking Darko over Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Bosh. Whoops.

It's never too early for some predictions for the Maui Invitational... especially when they have UCLA coming out on top.

Have you checked out the list of the 50 greatest NBA players yet? Well, you should (pretty please?!?)

And finally, a video of ESPN Sportscenter bloopers, including of course Charley Steiner laughing over the national anthem of Carl Lewis. "Writte by Francis Scott 'Off' Key."

Thanks for the shoutout about the fantasy columns. So, you could say at least one person appreciates the links.

I'm also glad you posted that Sportscenter video, because it reminded me of the good old days when my teenaged self would stay up to midnight during weekdays specifically to watch it. Seems kind of funny now given the current state of the show.

Yeah, it's been a sad downfall for Sportscenter. Oh what I would give for Kenny Mayne to be back on Sportscenter!

that's awesome getting linked up from SI.com.

funny story. well kind of.

that writer -- Gennaro Filice -- was a year older than me at my high school. we weren't like good friends, but I did kick it with him a few times.

i'm thinking of actually trying to contact him to see how he got that gig writing for SI.com. Cool stuff.

And thank him for me while you're at it. :D

But yeah, a job like that would pretty much be one of the coolest jobs in the world. Pretty cool you went to high school with him.
