Any thoughts on the NBA draft? I'm happy the Warriors got Stephen Curry, but the strong rumors going around that the Suns and Warriors might make a trade sending Stoudemire to Oakland for Biedrins, Curry, and Wright worry me. I don't want the Warriors to give up Andris Biedrins, their only good defensive player. Stoudemire is a stud, but not defensively. I hope the rumors stay rumors.

The Knicks fans who attend the NBA draft each year are expected to act like buffoons (save for Spike Lee). They boo everything, like goombah said.

Just watched the British Lions get beat of the South Africans in one of the most brutal games of rugby i have ever seen. It means the Lions lose the series but what a game it was. i know rugby isn't a big game in the US but it should be,it is such a high intensity,big hitting sport,you guys would love it!

My son pitched his guts out tonight against a 15-0 team that was averaging 13 runs a game. A game ending sacrifice fly beat him 2-1. He was crushed. He pitched the whole game (6 2/3 innings), gave up 2 runs, scattered 4 hits, and had 10 strikeouts with 3 walks. He hit a batter too, and the HBP scored the winning team's first run.

Sounds like a fantastically pitched game. He'll get 'em next time.

Suit claims Roethlisberger sexually assaulted woman Tuesday, July 21, 2009
By Jonathan D. Silver, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

An employee of Harrah's Lake Tahoe hotel in Nevada has claimed in a civil lawsuit that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her in his room last July while he was in town for a celebrity golf tournament.

The complaint, filed Friday in Washoe County, Nev., also names eight Harrah's employees accused of being part of a widespread cover-up in the Harrah's organization. They include the resort's president, security chief and other supervisors.

Mr. Roethlisberger's lawyer yesterday denied that his client had sexually assaulted anyone.

kobe bryant all over again...i wonder if there is even any truth to it.

A year ago? In HIS room? No criminal prosecution?
It's an attempt for cash. Same thing happened to Bettis when a woman tried to scare some money out of him with a false allegation.

Bizarre Twist in Roethlisberger Assault Case
Posted Jul 21st 2009 10:24AM by TMZ Staff

Sources connected to the Ben Roethlisberger sexual assault case claim the psychiatric care the accuser says she's under has nothing to do with Ben .... it has to do with a relationship she had with a man who never existed.

Andrea McNulty has sued Roethlisberger, the Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl champ, claiming he sexually assaulted her in July 2008. Sources tell us Roethlisberger and McNulty had a sexual liaison at the time but Ben insists it was purely consensual. We're told the two knew each other because Ben had stayed at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe over the last several years for golf tournaments -- and she worked at the hotel.

Sources connected with the case tell us a former co-worker of McNulty's at Harrah's came forward with this incredible story -- that around the time McNulty hooked up with Roethlisberger, she was allegedly involved with a married man. The man's wife, we're told, created an email account, posing as a U.S. soldier in Iraq. The wife began corresponding with McNulty to gain information. We're told the former co-worker has said McNulty fell in love with the fictitious soldier and began telling people she was engaged to him. When the wife stopped the correspondence, McNulty then began telling people the soldier was killed in action.

We're told McNulty told at least one co-worker she began seeing a psychiatrist because of the phantom soldier.

We tried repeatedly getting in touch with McNulty. So far we have been unable to reach her.
