Favorable treatment? I think so...



"Outside the Lines" report. Approx. 15 minutes.






USC has had way too many rumors about improper player treatment. The NCAA really needs to step up and check this school out. It is a little ridiculous how they haven't attacked them like they have other schools. USC needs get disciplined. As much as I like O.J. Mayo, something needs to be done.

Moves and shakes to note before the season starts

Top 25 biggest Spring developments

I'm still excited about number 5....

Check out who is on top....

Buckeyes rise to No. 1 in updated Top 25

Not surprising, but it is always tougher when expectations are upon you. What I was surprised to see, is that Miami didn't even make the Top 25. I figure, regardless of what the status is, sheer talent from recruiting would at least earn them something. Maybe Californiason can explain that to me some day...

King James rules in Washington


Game Recap

"In an NBA playoff series filled with trash talk, hard fouls, 13 technicals, one ejection, one suspension and plenty more, James was everywhere and did a little bit of everything in Game 6...."
"James compiled 27 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists for his third career playoff triple-double...."

This series was really a testament to how amazing LeBron is as a team leader. The Wizards employed a very weak strategy to defeat the Cavs, and it didn't work. The Wizards played a very low-class style of ball, using cheap shots and media jabs to disrupt the Cavs. Rather than playing standing up, they chose sucker punches. James really stood up for his team and didn't call out Washington for its style. He just stood up after each hit and said that if that is how they wanted to play, he'll show them how to win. It is deserving that the Cavs defeated them in Washington, in a hostile environment, amid the crowd's useless chants of "Ov-er-rate-d." I don't think you can call player overrated when he lights you up for 150 points. Pick on another player, and deal with the fact that James beat you without a supporting cast and a hand tied behind his back.
