By now you’ve heard about Duke point guard Greg Paulus‘s tryout with the Green Bay Packers to play quarterback. But before Paulus goes pro, the former high school All-American is getting a crack at playing college football for a year.

Duke football coach David Cutcliffe said he’s willing to let Paulus try out for the team, only he’ll have to be a receiver, not a quarterback. Read More »

So today in the office someone decided to play Mobb Deep’s ‘Murda Muzik,’ definitely one of my favorite Mobb albums. One of the certified bangers on the album is ‘I’m Goin’ Out’ feat. Lil Cease. Cease says “Rap smoother than CL, in the K on the DL. Line for line you can detail, I choked more n*ggas than Sprewell.” And it got me thinking about my favorite rap lyrics that reference basketball.

One of my favorite parts of the NBA Playoffs every year is the new TV spots that the NBA rolls out.

25 points, 13 boards, and a mean crossover into a cram on Andrew Bynum all weren’t nearly enough to beat the Lakers last night. If the Jazz are to make it a series against the Lake Show, what else can Deron Williams do? Read More »

The only three games on last night’s NBA schedule just happened to provide three — well, more like two and a half — first-round playoff previews. For the Sixers, a win over Boston would even them up with Chicago for the East’s 6th seed (and the right to play Orlando), but a loss would keep them firmly in 7th place (and a date with the Celtics in Round 1).

UConn junior center Hasheem Thabeet, projected to go no lower than third in most ’09 NBA mock drafts, officially threw his name into the draft today.

Huskies coach Jim Calhoun called Thabeet, “One of the most dominant defensive players in the history of college basketball,” and said he’s ready to make the jump to the League. Read More »
