When I go to hoop now it's more for the workout than to hoop. First off, hooping has become a fashion show. Most of these bums come to show off what they look like than their game. Secondly, if you a big fella and you don't bring your own guard, chances are you may not see the rock unless you grab a rebound.
Let me start with the little fellas or wanna be guards first. They are the ones who dribble in one space. You better hope they don't think they can shoot the blood out the rock or they may launch one or two from half court. Then the dribblers who crosses over to get back to the spot they just left instead to use the move to penetrate, they really make me laugh. The guards who telegraph their passes are funnier.

 UM Hoops Blue ?
Today's Detroit News has an interesting article by Fred Girard about the progress of renovation plans for the University of Michigan's Crisler Arena. Last month, the cost for the project was estimated as high as $75 million.
Athletic
director Bill Martin, however, says such plans aren't at the stage for
a set price tag yet. For one thing, much more updated information is
needed. The last infrastructure study on Crisler was done 10 years ago.
Plus,
there are several more building projects on the docket, many of which
hold a higher priority for the U-M athletic department. Included among
these are the newly opened Ross Academic Center, updates to Alumni Field (softball) and Fisher Stadium (baseball), and the much-anticipated renovations and additions to Michigan Stadium, set to cost $226 million.

 Billups to the Max ? Before this season started we were already debating if Chauncey deserves a
maxed out contract. I have gone back and forth with one day saying no and then
the next day saying yes. With the play of the Pistons when Chauncey was hurt and
seeing them now since he been back, I believe Chauncey has backed Joe Dumars in
the corner to max him out. I honestly believe he shouldn't be maxed out but I
really don't have much to back up my opinion besides my gut feeling.
I
honestly believe Joe will give Chauncey a fair offer, but I know these other
teams will be willing to offer much more money, just like the Chicago Bulls did
to get Ben Wallace. I only hope Chauncey understands that he is the guy, the
captain on this team but I honestly don't think he would be the same kind of
player on too many other teams, but once again I could be wrong. I had a belief
that Chauncey could be replaced and trade him while he has value but I have
definitely changed my tune after the eight games he missed.

 Farm Hand Report If the Detroit Red Wings are going to continue being successful in this “new NHL” it’s going to have to start on the farm. Everyone knows that for the better part of a decade the Red Wings were able to supplement their core roster through free agency or deadline trades. The draft wasn’t the way the Wings won their Cups. Most of their draft picks were traded away or slotted so late in the draft that the resulting players were usually unimportant in the grand scheme of the NHL.
Now there’s a salary cap and the ability to identify and cultivate young talent is at a premium. It’s not like the Red Wings have a poor history when it comes to drafting players. A lot of the guys who supplied the power behind the recent rash of Stanley Cup wins were home grown talent.

 The $250 Million Dollar kid The $250 Million Dollar kid. That is how much the L.A. Galaxy of the MLS ponied up for David Beckham and his physics defying corner kicks. But who are we kidding? The L.A. Galaxy are not going to pay a quarter of a billion dollars to a soccer player who is clearly in the twilight of his career just for his skills on the "pitch". This was a $250 million dollar investment in to the MLS.
By aqcuiring Beckham, the L.A. Galaxy has almost assured themselves not only a bevy of SportsCenter highlights, but also the attention of Beckham fans overseas and the very casual soccer fan here in the United States. But will this added attention hurt or help the MLS?
