They are bringing back the Sting.

Or the Charlotte Jumper Classic.

Thats the only things I can think of.

Bill Simmons off of NBA Countdown, will be the host of an 18 episode show called The Grantland Basketball Show. Hour long show that will have episodes throughout the regular season and the playoffs. It will be a panel type show, where Grantland contributors along with others will be on the show to discuss the numerous topics that are current with the NBA at that time.

Hopefully he will be selected for the first human cloning trials.

I will still probably watch it knowing me.

I hope it also means more Zach Lowe.

Benjamin Linus · Post #1389 » by **Benjamin Linus** » Thu Aug 14, 2014 1:25 pm

Yeah, more Zach Lowe would be cool.

I don't mind Bill Simmons. Personally, I'd like to see him focus more on writing articles and doing podcasts but I think he'll do better on TV with the Grantland guys.

LOL

in a hilarious twist, a panel of idiots at ESPN have decided that lance is the #2 worst newcomer of the summer. holy insanity.

at least the comments on twitter are laughing at ESPN.

Lance will prove all of the doubters wrong!

Then they have Boozer at #1. Sure, he's making way too much money, but the Lakers are only having to pay $3.25 million of it.

Considering how little Gordon is going to bring to the Magic, at a higher salary, he's the *clear* #1 worst newcomer. It's no contest!

Guy with the most triple doubles in the league last year as worst newcomer.

That makes plenty of sense..

TheKingofSting · Post #1395 » by **TheKingofSting** » Fri Aug 15, 2014 1:59 am

Haters gonna hate!

Sim Bhullar has signed with the Kings. Here's to hoping (I know Sachmo is with me) he makes the 2K roster and you can start your Sim Bhullar My Player journey to him becoming the Indian Shaq.

I hate that they put a 7'2 limit.

They're owned by an Indian dude, aren't they? That explains it. New owners, same inept front office.
