NBA teams are able to trade away a player, have him released, and then sign him back again; thereby, effectively negating the player's on the court importance to the trade? Why?
A man is always innocent until proven guilty in the court of law. I think the same should be applied to a man accused of something in the court of public opinion. And in the court of public opinion, Roger Clemens was proven to be guilty.
Kobe Bryant has suffered an injury to his pinkie finger that a doctor has suggested he have surgery on. It is torn ligament to his shooting had. The surgery on that finger would probably keep Kobe Bryant out for at least six weeks.
Should Indiana University ever have fired their legendary head coach Bobby Knight for this?

I can't believe what I saw with my own eyes. The Congressional Hearings on Steroids on February 13, 2008 were more entertaining than scantily exciting episode of Friday Night Lights.

With Randy Moss entering free agency, one has to wonder whether he will opt for the money or the wins.

It is sad that something of this nature is needed in a world that is supposed to be a proponent of progression, education, and evolution, but the fact of the matter is that college football, and perhaps all of college sports, needs to implement a Rooney Rule.
This matchup between the Celtics and Spurs is a very likely NBA Finals preview.
There are a few teams out there that would surprise you if I told you they were amongst the top-10 defensive teams in the NBA.

Such as these Eastern Conference teams, which seem to be at the bottom of the Eastern Standings year after year, along with some of this season's newly acquired bottom feeders.
Unlike the National Football League, the National Basketball Association does not have a whole lot of parity. From year to year, you can usually take the last 8 teams standing in one post-season, and end up with 5, 6, or 7 of the same ones in the following season's Elite 8.
