We Have Become the Nanny NO ONE Likes
America has completely shifted from the isolationist principles our founding fathers stressed, which is very disturbing to me. We now spend so much attention to the rest of the world, using our power and influence to bully smaller countries around. Now, many of those countries we took advantage of are supporting leaders who gain power by promising to end America's influence on their region (Iran and Venezuela come to mind first). So by swinging our freedom stick to make the world a...

I definately agree with your point that U of A has a better basketball program, but I'm not sure how much longer you can claim that title. The days of Lute Olsen seem to be numbered, meanwhile Herb Sendek is beginning to build something special in Tempe. He is an excellent recruiter, how else would you get a McDonald's All-American following an 8-22 season. ASU's basketball fan base has been sitting at home waiting for the return to the top 25 for quite sometime and as we saw...

That is true, but Sendek is still an excellent recruiter. He was able to contend in North Carolina with NCST, recruiting against the likes of Duke and UNC. Harden said this, when discussing why he signed with the Devils, "I watched Coach Sendek's teams at N.C. State and really liked their style of play," also adding, "I was very comfortable on my visit, Coach Sendek is such a humble guy and he's looking to do the same thing I am: win." And addressing his high...

Among nations comparable to United States wealth, America is second to last in intergenerational economic mobility.
Posted by briguy119 on 01-12-2008 in Is the American dream lost??Don't Forget Banks
Obviously, the two big pieces in this deal are Trix and the Diesel, but Marcus Banks was making 10 million dollars! It was great to get rid of that cap room and that player. He has had great potential for at least 4 years, so I doubt it will ever pan out. Also, Banks leaving will free up room for the development of Strawberry, who adds great perimeter defense. Shaq wasn't brought here to be a starter and play 35 minutes. He was brought here to beat the hell out of Duncan, Gasol, Yao,...

The Bruins are looking tough to beat. They have the inside presence in Love, outstanding perimeter shooters- namely Collison, a scorer in Westbrook, and arguably the best man-to-man defense in the country. But I'm looking forward to see some other picks.
