Today Inside Hoops reported on Twitter that Celtics will be signing swingman Marquis Daniels. This is a solid move all around. Daniels is a reliable scorer off the bench and could fit well on just about any team in the league. This was much needed for Boston who lacked a backup swingman last season. This also keeps them in contention to win the East. Solid move.
Just peeped this on World Star, Shwayze's new video and single, called "Get U Home". The song is hot. Shwayze is still kinda under the radar but I played his first album non-stop last summer and I can't wait for the new one to drop. I think it'll be called 'Let it Beat'. Check it out.
Last night Mike Vick made his Eagles debut and it went pretty well; he went 4-4 for 19 yards and attempted a scramble. I will be following his season very closely so most of his games will be getting posted....check it out.
The college football season is only a couple weeks away and the Tim Tebow praise is never-ending. ESPN has been flooded with talk of Tebow possibly being the best college football player of all time and he is everything but God, etc., etc. Don't get me wrong, I do believe Tebow is a great player but I'm not too sure that his game will translate to the NFL too well. There are plenty of people divided on this issue; some say he should go number 1 in the 2010 draft and some, such as draft expert Mel Kiper Jr say that Tebow won't even go in the 1st round. I think that I'm more on Kiper's side. To me, Tebow seems like a QB who will struggle to find success in the NFL...like a Alex Smith who also played in Urban Meyer's system. Only time will tell but I think that media is building Tebow up too high and will eventually cause his downfall.
Earlier today on ESPN, it was reported that Plaxico Burress has been sentened to 2 years in prison after having possession of a loaded gun and shooting himself in late 2008. I understand the guy had a gun but the fact that he shot himself seems like a pretty good punishment. It's almost safe to say that Plax's NFL career may be over. It seems that black males in the NFL can't seem to stay out of the public eye and out of trouble and that angers me a little; the spotlight is squared on them soon as they make names for themselves. What's even more unfortunate is that Burress supposedly turned down an earlier sentence that would have gave him 3 months time and he would have only served 2. I hope that he can somehow bounce back in 2012...that's of course if Goodell doesn't to suspend him for more time.
Things have really been looking up for Philadelphia 76ers young point guard Lou Williams this summer. First the team gets Eddie Jordan as a coach, whose run-and-gun offense has been proven successful with the Washington Wizards. Second, veteran guard Andre Miller skipped town by signing with Portland. Last and best, Lou-Will was named starter for Philly. I think he has all-star potential now that he has been named starter. In Eddie Jordan's system i believe he can be a poor-man's Gilbert Arenas, minus the jumpshot(which he can develop). I'm excited to see how this season turns out for Sweet Lou; I project his numbers will be around 18 points and 6 assists per. That system is made for a young, athletic team in which the Sixers are...excluding E-Brand.
