The High Post: The NBA Season is Over! Bring on the Playoffs!

(By Jerry Levi)

“We began the NBA season with so much promise not even six months ago, and you’re already saying goodbye? You’re leaving us?”

“I’ll be back in a few days with better games and better teams. And I promise to last until June,” says the wintry old NBA season. “I’ll also have fresh legs, better attendance, and midnight West Coast games.”

“Oh okay,” we say and fall back to sleep. “West Coast games after midnight,” we murmur. 

Sports Top-Picks: Manziel Effect

(By Josiah Overstreet)

Johnny Paul Manziel is the largest up and coming star in the NFL. Or J.P. . . . well, that is what Lebron James calls him when he hits him up on speed dial. 

Barely out of college, Manziel has already thrown out famous first pitches at Texas Rangers games and garnered comparisons to one of the NFL’s greatest quarterbacks, Doug Flutie. He dates a model who works in a nightclub. Been under the microscopic view of the press almost daily and is possibly the most exciting player entering the draft.

Just Shocking!

(By Franklin Lee)

Just shocking is the only way I can process the fact that Philly traded Jack Mac to Montreal. Jack is a homegrown talent of the Union that is an amazing player and is just 21 years old. I haven’t been this speechless since the Galaxy traded Mike Magee to Chicago, and we know how that has turned out so far. Mike Mage is the reigning league MVP. I’m happy for Montreal fans, though, as they now have Jack Mac to tag-team with Marco Di Vaio. This makes for one of the most lethal attacking duos in the league.
