Did anyone else get a ton of 'sportsfilter' spam last night?: I got 25+ e-mails from a website called http://grou.ps that claimed to have a Sportsfilter-related group and encouraging me to "increase my activity rank". This is to the e-mail addy I have listed in my profile here. No biggie, I can just delete 'em, I was just curious if anyone else here was getting them too.

Cuban Lefthander Aroldis Chapman Defects: Aroldis Chapman, perhaps the "best left-handed pitching prospect in the world" has left the Cuban National Team hotel in the Netherlands."I walked out easily, right through the hotel door, and I hopped into a car and left," Chapman told cubaencuentro.com. "It was easy. Now the plan is to sign with a major league team." Chapman is 21 years old and has a fastball that has been clocked at 102 mph.

The San Antonio Spurs send three players to Milwaukee, get Richard Jefferson in return.: The Bucks receive Bruce Bowen, Fabricio Oberto, and Kurt Thomas, all of whom are entering the final year of their contracts.

Who cares what people do at their own receptions?
They probably couldn't wait to get it on Youtube.
If they didn't want anyone to care what they did at their reception they wouldn't put it on youtube vimeo.

Sounds like he'd be a perfect fit for The Three Lions, Howard.

I think Quinn has forgotten the David Carr Rule of Quarterbacking; the amount of time you spend on your lovely hair is directly inverse to quality of on the field performance.

I wonder if he will get in game shape soon enough to help the Grizzlies.
Help them do what, exactly? No disrespect to the franchise, but it's not like they're going to be competing for a playoff spot this year. They have a nice small group of younger players, mostly with Gay, Mayo, and Gasol, but this whole stupid idea of signing the likes of Zach Randolph and Iverson and now Tinsley just makes no sense. It's throwing money away for the sake of throwing money away.

Maybe the promise of signing Avery Johnson this off-season would appease Paul? It would make a lot sense, not the least because Avery is a proud son of New Orleans.

I'm no graphic designer, but I've always thought the re-branding of the logo and team colors that the Bucs did was one of the most successful and well-done in all of pro sports. The retouched Bucs helmet looks like something more fitting an arena-league team (or the XFL).
The Wash one isn't bad, though. Pretty interesting take on it.

Singlehandedly? You act like Matt Geiger wasn't even there! For shame, rcade. For shame.

So God was wrong?
The Memphis deal never made sense on a few different levels. I'd be shocked to see AI have to resort to playing abroad, especially if he's willing to sign a 1-year deal at a less than MLE price.
I'd love to see him back in DC playing for the Wiz. A backcourt of Agent Zero and Iverson would be must watch, both on the court and off.

people just think I'm biased.
Amen tahoe ...The big problem is 99.9% of them
Yeah, I hate when people stereotype me while I'm busy stereotyping them too.

Fun fact: Fans of the team have more unique ways to say "Fuck the Rangers" than Inuits do for "snow".

You can throw me in the "of course not, don't be silly" group, but I'm kind of an asshole and don't much care for children.

I doubt Dez and Michael Trabtree are the only ones, so apparently a few young athletes, cixelsyd.

I think the athletes that have gotten away with much worse (did that Reggie Bush house situation ever get resolved?) have a much larger impact on the shady dealings of College Sports than an overzealous punishment for a quasi-mistake about nothing, really.
The only real effects I can see this having are ending Bryant's college career (not to mention hurting OSU's chance at beating Texas this Saturday) and hurting Deion's reputation.

SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle
The goddamned Klan are planning a rally at this weekend's LSU/Ole Miss game in protest of Chancellor Dan Jones' decision to remove "From Dixie with Love" from the Ole Miss band's song selection.
