Posted: 29th September 2009 by Safa in NBA
The Warriors' Media Day is officially in the books, and while most teams are busy hyping the upcoming season, introducing new players, revealing strategies, and getting the fanbase excited about the upcoming season, the Warriors do things differently.
Stephen Jackson and Monta Ellis took the opportunity to drop a torpedo on the franchise, publicly airing their disillusionment with how the team is run. Let's look at their comments in brief.

Glimmer Of Hope: Three Reasons Tennessee Can Still Make the NFL Playoffs
Posted: 29th September 2009 by Dave Stanley in NFL
The Titans were able to taste victory Sunday after a hard-fought battle with an AFC rival. á
Trouble is, they were the wrong Titans.
The New York Jetsùin their 1960 New York Titans throwback uniformsùdefeated Tennessee 24-17 in what could potentially be a back-breaking loss for Tennessee, dropping them to 0-3. á
Since 1990, when the NFL went to its current 12 team playoff format, only three teams to start the season 0-3 ...
As if it wasn't a forgone conclusion already, Lou Piniella seemed to close the door on any possibility of Milton Bradley returning to the Cubs next year.
On ESPN 1000's "Waddle and Silvy" show today, Piniella talked about next year's team. It seems clear that Bradley is not in the plans.
"We needed a big bat to put in the middle part of our lineup, and we thought Milton would be the ...
There is a grumbling in the Nation.
And no, the source is not Khalif Barnes stomach as he contemplates the best spot for a hamburger instead of focusing on being a starter in the NFL.
That noise comes deep within the Black Hole and revibrates across the great Raiders Nation. This ear-drum splitting noise calls out one man's incompetence on the football field.
Nevermind the sloppy play of the Raiders DT's, slow-to-react LB's, ...
Second Place Never Tasted So Sweet: Jaguars’ Season Not Over Yet
Posted: 29th September 2009 by Tim Higgins in NFL
This is the feeling that you love. You feel the satisfaction of a win, and not any ordinary win, but a huge win for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The win puts them in second place in the division and ends what had been a disaster of a beginning of a season.á
But the key point is the second place spot. Sure, the Jaguars are 1-2; sure, the Jaguars got crushed by the Cardinals', ...
Media Still Trying to Figure Out How to Jinx Yankees
Posted: 29th September 2009 by Dan Hanzus in MLB
With pennant races ending in a whimper in every division but AL Central Casting, baseball writers across the country are apparently starved for interesting storylines these days. How else to explain the dizzying takes of late on the Yankees' playoff aspirations?
Last week, a stumble against the Mariners and a series-opening loss to the Angels in Anaheim led to a barrage of stories hinting that the mighty Yankees were heading toward ...
The Cleveland Browns Need To Stick With Quarterback Brady Quinn
Posted: 29th September 2009 by Kim Lakner in NFL
Another season, another quarterback mess in Cleveland.
á
IÆm going to put everything to rest in one sentence.
á
Unless he gets hurt, the Cleveland Browns need to stick with Brady Quinn for the entire season.
á
I know Quinn has looked terrible through three games and the offense is not moving the ball well, but Eric Mangini cannot be playing musical quarterbacks this season.
á
IÆm fine with him putting Derek Anderson in to see if he ...
Who would have thought that the Saints could have such a strong start.áNew Orleans offense came out firing on all cylinders this season blowing teams out.
With Scoring 120 points in three games the Saints are on pace to score 640 points. Drew Brees could throw for 70+ touchdowns and another 5,000 yard season.
For the first time since 2006, New Orleans will start the first quarter of the season with a ...
The Green Bay Packers came up with a win on the road Sunday over the St. Louis Rams, 36-17. With the victory, the Packers reached a record of 2-1 and move a game behind the division leader, the Minnesota Vikings. Next weekÆs game is in Minnesota against long-time Packers signal caller and future first ballot Hall of Famer, Brett Favre. A win would put the Packers in control of the ...
Last season, the Cleveland Browns went through four quarterbacks, due mainly to injuries. They failed to score a single touchdown in the last six games. That tells me three things: 1) the offensive line stinks, 2) there aren't enough playmakers, and 3) it doesn't matter who is playing quarterback.
Of the four quarterbacks, the most promising was Brady Quinn. Romeo Crennel already decided that Quinn was the guy going forward.áAfter Derek ...
