June 20, 2008 ArchivesThis thought crossed my mind yesterday as I was listening to the radio -- the problem with predictions is that it causes the prognosticator to root for his prediction to come true, rather than what he might normally root for (that makes sense, doesn't it?). For example, if I would have predicted that the Rangers would lose 96 games this year, and if I had done it boldly and on a large enough stage, then I would have a hard time pulling for the... New Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle is back from visiting Dirk Nowitzki in Germany and he has a new appreciation for how the forward learned basketball. One nugget: A linoleum basketball court.

He'll teach high school junior varsity and varsity football players and their coaches. Jones just got done h... The latest twist in the Pacman Jones saga via an Associated Press story: A New York woman involved in a Las Vegas brawl that police say was incited by NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones has been found dead. For the first time since the then Washington Senators left for Arlington in 1971, the Texas Rangers are going to the nation's capitol. The Rangers begin a three-game series against the Washington Nationals tonight. Of course the Rangers aren't the only former Senators who still play in MLB. The now Minnesota Twins left Washington a decade before the new Senators made the move the Texas. And the current team in Washin... |
