http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3322266 The College All America Team. Absolutely no way that if you entered this team in the Olympics this summer they don't win the gold medal. There is absolutely no reason for USA Men's basketball to lose a single game this summer. Alright, so maybe there is no way we would get a bunch of unpaid college players risking getting hurt to play in the Olympics (oh wait, isn't that what the Olympics are all about?) But, even if we can't get college players, I have another idea. After the disaster in 2004, there was a lot of talk about sending an NBA team (without any foreign players) and how much better they would do than the national team. How about this for an Olympic Squad: KG, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Sam Cassell, Big Baby, etc.

A little over the top, but makes some good points. Did you know that it takes more oil to make ethanol, than if you just use the oil? Believe it.

And Buster Olney, who I have more faith in than any baseball writer, picked the Braves to win the East. Looks like it might be a good year.

Not only was he on "My Brother and Me", but he's now a professional boxer. Turns out he is my favorite mid-90's scrub basketball player for a reason.

the ethanol article is a little over the top. and i don't think the u.s.'s corn surplus is used to feed starving babies; i think it is just used to make poor american kids fat. ethanol is still the worst idea ever-- an average of 9 calories of fossil fuels are used to produce one calorie of corn.
