  I know this is a basketball blog but I just tried watching football (not the american football).  It was a game under the Bulgarian Premeir League.  In other countries, it is called “soccer” but in Europe, it’s “football”. Anyway, I was watching it online via livestream from one of those video sharing sites.  Unfortunately, [...]

If D’Antoni leaves Phoenix, I’d say get Jeff Van Gundy to coach this aging Suns, and have him make another run at an NBA Championship. We all know that Kerr [...]
