Nah, just googled "Bouillabaisse Sports".


I figured as much. I just thought it was funny that it came from The Nation.

Tony Allen is the type of guy that I could see the Celtics signing and then trading down the line. He makes me think of Gerald Wallace back on that good Kings team. Hopefully Danny does a good job determining who to keep and who to deal...

Speaking of TA, remember last year when he came into form, his shot started falling too? Recently, not only has his first step and elevation come back, but also the outside shot. Considering his skills, does anyone think he has the potential to take over for Ray some day (soon) as a starter on this contender?

Gant, have you ever reached out to major publications out there to try and see if you can get published on a bigger scale? You're good. Just right -- never over the top, knowledgeable, funny, and ther's just an enjoyable flow to the writing. As always, thanks for posting.

I never thought of it. What's their email, majorpublications@hotmail.com? (ha ha)

I really never had considered it. They seem to want to publish the same stuff over and over. Corporations don't much like different.

Actually I wouldn't even know how to go about it.

The way you'd start going about it is finding the contact information to the editors of each newspaper/magazine/blog, send them an email with a link to your website and some hyped quotes about your writing. If you're willing to put in the legwork maybe 1 out of 10-20 contacts will bare some fruits. If you have the time (and care about it) I think you should at least try. Just my 2 cents.

That makes sense. I'll have to think about this. Thanks.

I won't have to say anything nice about the Lakers though, will I?
