Well, it's good to see the latest version of USA basketball has enjoyed the rite of passage that is trouncing the Angolans during an international tournament Monday afternoon.
Team USA looked brutally efficient in a 121-66 win that set up a FIBA World Championship quarterfinal matchup against the pesky Russia, which ...

The way free agency works isn't, erstwhile San Diego Chargers receiver, Vincent Jackson's fault.

Would this were the WWE instead of Major League Baseball. At least then you know Washington Nationals' outfielder/leadoff hitter/catcher assassin Nyjer Morgan would get what was coming to him, if only at the upcoming pay-per-view.

Have you been paying much attention to the 2010 FIBA World Championship? We venture to guess probably not since games are played in the early afternoon most times.
It's probably even less interesting because Team USA doesn't feature the likes of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwight Howard or basically any of ...
