    This will be my first year I ever follow the Premier League so this will be interesting.

  2. damn. its more corrupted than the white house. i was running out of space with all the PES replays i had, so i was transfering them all onto pen drive with "Max Drive" software.

    when i try and delete them it just says delete failed

  3. I thought the Lakers were screwed to begin with, now they trade away two players that can score for Kwame Brown.

    With all due respect, I don't think Kwame Brown was ever an NBA player, and never will be.

    The Moratorium is over on the 22nd, can't wait to see what Joe Johnson and Raja Bell do.

  4. It all depends on which generation you come from.

    My Friends (16) and I hated it.

    My Brother (12) and his friends loved it.

    My Parents (~40) saw it and thought it was garbage.

    My Cousin (22) and his friends loved it.

    My Older Friends (18) thought it was crap.

    The bad thing is, we all had to pay to see that crap.

  5. I am looking to pawn off some off my games and I would like to know if there is a place to see the value of what I'm selling.

    Or if you guys know of any places to get a good deal on trade-ins?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  6. No contracts can be signed until July 22, so all reports are just verbal agreements.

    Deal believed to be worth $65M to $70M

    By Chad Ford

    ESPN Insider

    Larry Hughes has come to terms with the Cleveland Cavaliers on a five-year deal, his agent, Jeff Wechsler, told ESPN Insider Chad Ford.

    "Larry intends to sign a contract with the Cavs when the moritorium ends," Wechsler said.

    Wechsler wouldn't comment on the actual numbers of the deal, but it's believed to be a five-year deal between $65 million and $70 million.

    Wechsler told Insider that he informed Washington Wizards GM Ernie Grunfeld on Thursday that Hughes is going in a different direction.

    The news comes as major blow to the Wizards, who were confident they could re-sign Hughes. However, the Wizards took a risk that Hughes would allow them to match any offer. Instead, Hughes began negotiating with the Cavs early in the week and worked out a deal on Thursday evening.

    For the Cavs, Hughes gives them a great scorer and defender to put at the two alongside LeBron James. He isn't a great shooter (something the Cavs desperately need), but he's a fantastic ball handler and rebounder making him -- like LeBron -- a very versatile piece in the puzzle.

    With Hughes on board, the Cavs will now focus their atttention on bringing back free agent Zydrunas Ilgauskas. They're also in hot pursuit of Lithuanian point guard Sarunas Jasikevicius, widely regarded as the best international player not playing in the NBA.

    The Wizards now have to start over from scratch. The team now has a gaping hole at the two to fill and must also deal with the likely departure of Kwame Brown. The Wizards can get about $9 million below the cap if they don't re-sign Brown. However, the market for two guards is getting thin.

    The last major two guard on the market is Joe Johnson. However, Johnson is a restricted free agent and most teams believe that the Suns will match any offer. There's also talk from multiple league sources that Johnson is in serious negotiations with the Atlanta Hawks about signing a max offer sheet.

    That leaves Bobby Simmons, Cuttino Mobley and Latrell Sprewell as the top two guards left on the board. The Wizards could also, at this point, try to work out a sign-and-trade with Brown that brings them back a top-flight shooting guard.

  7. Ichiro in the Home Run Derby?

    I guess because Hideki Matsui wants no part of the HRD, Ichiro Suzuki is the next choice.

    The only 3 japanese position players in league that I'm aware of are H. Matsui, Suzuki, and Kaz Matsui.

    And since Kaz sucks, I guess Ichiro is in.

    I heard he was a slugger at batting practice so maybe he can actually compete with big guns like David Ortiz, Mark Texiera, and Carlos Lee

  8. Secret ballot eliminates baseball, softball

    SINGAPORE -- Baseball and softball were tossed out of the Olympics for the 2012 London Games on Friday.

    The action by the International Olympic Committee marked the first time it had dropped any sports from the Summer Games in 69 years. The committee then rejected the five sports wanting to get in.

    Each of the 28 existing sports was put to a secret vote by the IOC, and baseball and softball failed to receive a majority required to stay. The other 26 sports made the cut.

    IOC president Jacques Rogge said baseball and softball, two sports invented in America, would be eligible to win their way back into the Olympics for 2016.

    Baseball and softball, which will remain on the program for the 2008 Beijing Games, are the first sports eliminated from the Olympics since polo in 1936.

    "I think they've made a big, big mistake," said Tommy Lasorda, the former Dodgers manager who guided the U.S. team to the gold medal in the 2000 Sydney Games. "Baseball is played by all countries now, and softball, too. I think that's really going to hurt the Olympics. I don't want to knock the other sports, but I think this is a big mistake."

    With two slots open on the program, the IOC voted from a waiting list of five sports: golf, rugby, squash, karate and roller sports. Squash and karate were nominated for inclusion but were rejected overwhelmingly.

    With a two-thirds margin required to join the program, members voted 63-39 against squash and 63-38 against karate. Rogge had proposed a show of hands for approval of the two sports but was booed by the delegates and forced to stick with a secret vote.

    “  Problems with doping in U.S. baseball probably cost the sport dearly. ”

      — Australian IOC member John Coates

    It was a stunning conclusion to a long, complex procedure that took nine rounds of voting. Rogge hailed the "very democratic" result while several members said the rejection of new sports signaled a sharp protest against the whole process.

    "Nobody was happy with the outcome in the morning, nobody was happy with the result of the afternoon," senior Canadian member Dick Pound said. "And we've lost two sports and done nothing to replace them."

    Dropping the two sports will remove 16 teams and more than 300 athletes from the Olympics. Softball is the only female-only sport in the games.

    Baseball, which became a medal sport in 1992, has been vulnerable because of steroids in the United States and the absence of major-league players from the Olympics. Softball, a women's-only medal sport since 1996 that the United States has won all three times, has been in danger because of its association with baseball and a perceived lack of global appeal and participation.

    "The lack of the MLB players -- I think people have looked and said, 'Well, all right, if there's to be a change, that seems to be the logic of it,'" British IOC member Craig Reedie said.

    While Major League Baseball has toughened its drug-testing programs, they still fall far short of Olympic standards.

    "Problems with doping in U.S. baseball probably cost the sport dearly," Australian IOC member John Coates said.

    Several IOC members also cited high stadium costs associated with both sports, saying baseball and softball venues have little use in some host cities after the games.

    "I feel like somebody who has been thrown out -- it's certainly not a good feeling," said Aldo Notari, the Italian president of the international baseball federation. "I don't think the IOC members know our sport deeply enough. But we'll continue to survive. We're looking ahead to Beijing and putting on a good show."

    Don Porter, the American president of the international softball federation, said his sport's ties to baseball created problems.

    "We tried to keep our distance," he said. "But I think there's still too many people think we're part of baseball. We're absolutely not. We're a separate sport."

    Cuba won the baseball gold medal at the Athens Olympics, beating Australia. Japan, the bronze medalist, was one of the few nations that sent its top professional baseball players to Athens.

    "This really hurts Japan," Japan Olympic Committee secretary general Tsutomu Hayashi said. "Baseball and softball are both team sports that draw a lot of excitement and are the only ones that medals are a virtual certainty."

    The vote to eliminate sports was kept secret. Not even the IOC members or sports federations were given the totals. The secrecy was requested by the international federations to avoid any ranking or embarrassment for any sports that just made the cut.

    Pound said the secrecy undermined the IOC's moves for openness.

    "What kind of message does the IOC send when there is complete secrecy on an issue that is important to the world?" he said.
