Point Guard's Not Worth High Pick in Draft?
Here is a story from Scott Howard-Cooper on SI.com that says it doesn't make sense to draft point guards too high in the draft because they are not the deciding factors in the Finals.If you haven't read it yet it basically says that the point guards ...

A Use For The NBA

I have been really busy of late and haven't had a ton of time to post here but with the draft coming up I figured I should say something.So here it is....the GM Says:1. Lots of talk lately about who the Lions will (or should) take with the first pic...
From the New York Knicks to...
I was going to do a review of the first week or so of the baseball season but really, has there been anything to write home about? Maybe how the Marlins are playing but honestly, I thought they were going to be good. Cleveland has been bad and that...
Wait.....What??
A couple days ago Verb tried to tell you that there is stuff going on in sports. He is full of it.We all know that February, along with July, are the worst months for sports in the entire year. And honestly August isn't too much better but it helps...
The GM Says....2/9
A-Rod is a former steroids user.....you surprised?I am sure you have heard about this and you surely have your own opinion. But here is mine. Steroids were all over the place when this happened (2003) and it doesn't bother me at all. If these guys...
LeBron or Kobe?
Everyone needs to remember that New York doesn't play any defense at all but I still want to compare the two performances and tell you which performance I think was better.Kobe had 61 points, which is the most ever in the Garden and he did it first.T...
The GM Says....2/5
Another day and a few more sports stories that you want to hear my opinion on.McNabb calls out defense.....this is not good.I don't know how many of you have seen this but Donovan McNabb recently basically called out the defense about the Cardinals d...
The GM Says....
Denver.....good for you. It was time to let Mike go. He has been a tremendous coach for your franchise but not good enough the past couple of years. His system just isn't working anymore. The small offensive line is getting pushed around and his ...
The GM Says....
Northwestern....so close! You almost really helped the Big Ten's reputation. I would say that you did good and you proved that the Big Ten is better than people think BUT you lost. And at the end of all the bowl games that is the only thing people...

An Emerging Star...
I know its the NBA and all but I think there is a guy that is emerging as a star that people need to start paying attention to.I know the Celtics are great and that's a huge story but you have all heard about that already.I know Lebron and the Cavs h...
The GM Says.....
Did Auburn make the right choice? I don't know. I don't think it is as bad as everyone seems to think it is BUT only time will tell. I will say this though.....no one is going to have as much success as Tuberville had.Former (as of yesterday) Ball...
The Big Apple, eh?
The Knicks just traded away three guys with monster salaries for 3 more years for three guys with expiring contracts.I know this happened a few days ago but I wanted to see LeBron play in New York before I really got a feel for this entire situation....
I said it didn't matter but...
I know on last weeks podcast we tried to bring up the NBA but the GM and I both decided it really didn't matter other then the fact that Allen Iverson got traded. If you want our opinions about that trade listen to the show. I must admit before I g...
