Hello folks; we here at FanScribe have been having some technical problems that have done away with most of our work from the past 6 months. We’ve managed to bring back some of our original pieces and post them up for the world to see, which is why you may feel like you’re going back in time when reading us blabber on [...] I can’t blame any sports fan for thinking sports media outlets are slowly turning into competition for The Financial Times. While NBA fans hear about the likelihood of a lockout, NFL followers have spent the offseason pretty much setting their minds on cherishing this upcoming season because it may be the last for a while. While [...] Now that the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals are upon us, certain facts about the sport have been confirmed. The first is that money does not guarantee anything in sports, given that Chelsea and Madrid were ousted right away. The second is that coaching matters in soccer as much as in any other sport: Mourinho and Guardiola plotted [...] It has become popular to bash the Grizzlies for taking Hasheem Thabeet with the second pick of the 2009 draft. The criticism had been slightly silenced by Memphis’ rise up the Wetsern Conference ranks, but just last week the big Tanzanian was demoted to the NBDL and all hell broke loose.

It was bad enough to hand control of the franchise to a man who seemed to do his best to contradict common sense every step of the [...] Like approximately 3,975 other basketball observers with a soapbox to preach from, I believe I can offer a few solutions to fix the disappointing Dunk Contest. Yes, the League should make it a point to have a superstar headlining the event, but I think the problem goes way beyond that. Therefore, I present you with my [...] I’ll start with this disclaimer: I believe Chris Kaman is a Top 3 center in this league and am ecstatic that a Clipper will be in Dallas. Now that that we’ve got this out of the way, you have to be kidding me. Kaman had indeed been snubbed in the initial selection for the ASG reserves, but [...] I’m not a religious person at all, but tonight I feel compelled to yell “Praise the Lord”. After seven years of heartache and disappointment, of inexplicable move after dumbfounding move, of throwing ice-cold players out in the deciding moments of crucial games (from “I haven’t even waved a towel in 20 minutes” Eddie House to “What [...] According to its own website, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame’s mission is to “honor and celebrate basketball’s greatest moments and people“. Although that statement could be shred to pieces by any 12 year-old smartass ( how exactly do they plan on enshrining Tony Delk’s inexplicable 53-point outburst back in 2001, along with the facial [...] |

The fleeting nature of allegiances in American Sports. A quick word on bandwagons.
Once in a while the Steelers win the Super Bowl. It seems like every few years the Lakers win an NBA title. Apparently more often, the Yankees win the World Series. What do all these events have in common? It feels like half the people you talk to after the parades root for one of those [...]
