The 2009-2010 Golden State Warriors Roster: A Prediction
Posted: 21st October 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
The Golden State Warriors come into the season after a dismal 29-53 record in 2008-2009. Look for the wins to improve, but not by much. The Warriors roster is filled with guards and not very many big men.
So, the key to the Warriors season is rebounding and not giving up second chance points. Another key to the Warriors season is being able to protect the ball and not turn it ...
The NBA recently came out with the "NBA Video Rulebook" to help fans better understand the calls that are made by their referees. While the premise was an interesting one, after watching some examples I had to ask myself, "Is this a joke?" The only answer I have is, yes, yes it is.
So, what videos did I watch first? Clearly the technical fouls. I was interested in what was known ...
Most NFL fansùunless you're a Carolina Panther fanùdidn't know the name of Dante Wesley until today. There was a play that happened with less than 20 seconds left in the first half against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers which ultimately got Wesley ejected from the game.
The hit itself was monstrous. Leading with his shoulder, he hitáClifton Smith high, which knocked him outájust under a minute. Smith was diagnosed with a concussion ...

Posted: 17th October 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
This year the NBA offers a lot talent from last year's rookie class. There are players who made a big impact last year, there are others who are looking to improve on their rookie season, and there's one who's looking to prove his doubters wrong by staying healthy. This slideshow is also in response to a similar slideshow that was by Courtney Zierk titled "NBA Super Sophomores: Who will be ...
Rush Limbaugh will never be an NFL owner because the other NFL owners will not allow it. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay already has stepped up and stated he would not approve of Limbaugh being an owner of the St. Louis Rams.
The funny thing is, people are getting too ahead of themselves in actually believing that Roger Goodell would approve of an ownership group that includes Limbaugh. At this point ...
Stephen Curry: Working on His Ability to Go Left?
Posted: 13th October 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
I've been lucky enough to catch a majority of the Golden State Warriors' preseason games and to watch Stephen Curry play.
Originally I had my doubts about Curry's ability to be a floor general and a solid passer, but it seems at this point that Curry is erasing all doubts about seeing the floor and making the proper passes.
I am not too concerned that, so far this preseason, Curry's shot has ...
Phil Cuzzi’s Call Friday Night Did Affect ALDS Game
Posted: 13th October 2009 by Steven Resnick in MLB
Not only is it unbelievable to think that Phil Cuzzi's call did not effect the game on Friday night, but it also had another effect on baseball.
Whether you like it or not Cuzzi's call did effect Friday night's game. Could the score have wound up the way it did? Yes. Could it have been differently? Yes. Was the call wrong? Absolutey!
By now we knowáwhat the situation was. Joe Mauer was ...
New Golden State Warriors Ownership Means Freedom and Hope for the Franchise
Posted: 12th October 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
Rumor has it that the Golden State Warriors owner Chris Cohan has been looking to sell the team. Which, means great news for Warrior fans because finally there will be an end to one of the worst ownerships in sports history.
Cohan since taking over the Warriors franchise 15 years ago has seen the team go to the playoffs just once and after that Cohan has pretty much dismantled the franchise ...
Roger Goodell had a tremendous task of cleaning up the NFL's image, and so far he's done a good job of cleaning the league's image up. Yet, even with that there's one thing that keeps him from having done a great job, and that is the hypocrisy of Goodell.
When he became the commissioner of the NFL, he set in place a stronger personal policy for the NFL players. These policies ...
A Look at the Other Five Teams (One Draft Still Not Done Yet)
Posted: 11th October 2009 by Steven Resnick in NBA
The seventh league I joined had some interesting directions when joining. It stated pick your favorite team and choose two of the players on the team to ideally be your keepers.
Of course my favorite team is the Golden State Warriors so I chose Monta Ellis and Anthony Randolph. The draft itself was just like any draft, you choose who you want. Some of the other participants in the league didn't ...
