As an Arizona Cardinals fan, I always liked Neil Lomax a lot. He and Roy Green were pretty much the only fun thing to watch on a crappy team. It’s too bad his career was cut short because of the degenerative hip condition.

Pretty much knew the Gholston sweepstakes was over a few weeks ago when:

Yeah, I am not too worried about RichRods recruiting. I would prefer if he didn’t load up quite on so many 5′9″ slot receivers but otherwise he still gets a lot of highly touted guys, even in the wake of the 3-9 season. He got the best 2010 QB recruit in the state of Michigan while having 2 other highly rated QBs on the roster (Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson), so I know he can still work in state. But yeah, his national recruiting is going to allow MSU to pluck away some of the guys that previously wouldn’t have considered MSU.

I think it is kind of a win all around because it sucks when your in-state rival is terrible (although I know that sentiment isn’t shared by MSU fans).

As for the Slumping hitters link, how can you not think that it is the effect of dejuicing? If a guy is hopped up on the HGH and roids and then goes cold turkey, how long does it take until it affects him? Also does getting off the stuff drop them lower than their natural level? Manny Ramirez got caught taking a drug that countered the effects of steroids that include larger breasts and a smaller penis. That doesn't sound performance enhancing to me.

Geoff: Dantonio did a good job landing Gholston. He also has MSU winning games they actually should win which isn’t anything that an MSU coach has done in a long time. Now if he could get his team competitive against better teams.Also that Pistons trade rumor is retarded.

Geoff, Rich Rod has been a benefit to MSU. I think Michigan will be back in another year. Their recruiting philosophy has changed. he recruits more on a national level, instead of just Michigan and Ohio like Carr. This has allowed Dantonio to pluck recruits from the upper midwest that MSU was unable to grab before.

Ya, but expiring deals are more accomodating at the deadline. Truthfully, I don’t think they’re that desparate, but they do know that at the current rate they need to make some moves now before it’s too late.

They’ve got Pierce and Garnett for two more years (Pierce doesn’t opt out of that deal) and Rondo is gonna cost them 10 mil a year easily if he keeps it up.

Geez, the Celtics are desparate. I know they only have another 1-2 years with the core…

I don’t think they’re desparate. I think Ainge is just seeing if he can get anything interesting for Allen’s expiring contract. I don’t get why he’s putting Rondo out there, unless he doesn’t want to give him something close to max money on his next contract.

that deal makes no sense for either team.

It does for the rest of the Eastern Conference.

The Celtics offered Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo to the Detroit Pistons for a package that included Richard Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince and Rodney Stuckey, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Celtics shop Rondo, Allen Interesting, but I don't think I'd do that.
