I suppose there's this big thing happening in free agency for the NBA after the postseason. Rumor has it, Dwyane Wade, Lebron James, Chris Bosh, Dirk Nowitzki, and several others could be on the market. I know, who hasn't heard of this before? But let's delve into it from my perspective. Here's what I would like to see, for my own viewing pleasure, regardless of the plausibility or likelihood anything is possible.

Here's what is figured to happen, in reality. The Clippers and ...

As most expected, Sacramento King combo guard (he is not a point guard) Tyreke Evans won rookie of the year. He fairly beat out Stephen Curry and Brandon Jennings. While it wasn't Lebron, Melo and Wade, it was a pretty damn good year for rookies. Did anyone see Darren Collison, Taj Gibson, or Marcus Thornton doing so well?

They're again letting an additional player ...

I am a braves fan, but I am not shy about being big fans of certain players. (Obviously). Oddly, the reason for my liking players varies, some weirder than others. And, a go:


Catcher: Yadier Molina - STL
How can one not like a Molina? I'm also a fan of players, in various sports, that make a significant impact just based on their defense.

1st Base: Adam Dun - WAS
Oh, oh, I just threw you a curve ball. I used to scoff at the hype, mostly from reds ...

Of course, this is until May 3rd and then later on in September.

Coming home from work, a great stress reliever is, well, shooting people. Nothing says stress relief like shooting a bunch of kids from Canada in team deathmatch. I became addicted to Modern Warfare 2 when, on a whim, I ordered it one night before it had came out. I had never played any Call of Duty game previously (since then I have played World at War and Modern Warfare, both enjoyable) and I'm slow to bounce from ...
