The NBA is all messed up right now. The Knicks I don't think will ever be anything but a joke with their current owner who apparently doesn't know what defense is, the Magic are losing some key players, and the Celtics added Rasheed Wallace, which is a good move, but probably not enough.
I'm not thrilled at all that the Lakers picked up Ron Artest. He's a thug, and if you asked me to name 5 players I would absolutely not want wearing Laker uniforms, he'd be #1 or #2 on that list. I actually quit watching basketball for a couple of years, and still don't watch it anywhere near as much as I used to, because of guys like him. Frankly, I wish he'd get kicked out of the league.
The Cliff Lee trade surprised me. Not that it happened, but that it happened so soon; I wasn't expecting the trigger to be pulled on that until today or tomorrow, if at all. The Indians might as well be in Fire Sale mode with this trade, if they aren't already.
(I'm a Reds fan, by the way)
Gail Kim improved a LOT when she was in TNA, so the WWE should definitely push her more, no matter whether she's a face or heel. Especially considering they only have a handful of women who are actually wrestlers in the entire company. And they definitely need to elevate some people since they're using Jericho and Big Show as a tag team. Cena, HHH and Orton main eventing everything is getting old, and MVP definitely should be higher in the chain, like you said. Him going after the U.S. title again instead of main eventing is just wrong. Not a fan of Jack Swagger, though, so I'd want to see him jobbing if they gave him any main event matches.
Word is HBK may be back in the ring at Summerslam. Hope its true, because RAW's main event scene is STALE!!!
