Sports Thread #2 For 12/2/09: Your Non-Tiger News Thread

(Since you have TMZ and those that have made themselves listen to everything it and US Weekly report, can provide you the Tiger affair 24 hour news and all): Now I know a team's website is suppose to sugcoat the bad news as much as possible, but..... ....they won't even bother to mention the distinction that everyone knows now: That distinction of having the worst record to start an NBA season ever . Lawrence Frank was a coach that long needed to go. But, thankfully for him, the organization had enough class to get rid of him in time for him not to own this dubious record.

Besides the all-star Harris, Brook Lopez (who has surprised me with how he has played well in the league), amd Courtney Lee (like Harris, slowed much by injuries), the Nets have one of the more underrated rookies in Terence Williams, along with solid second year perform...

Sports Thread #1 For 12/2/09: He's Back......With The Sixers

He'll be back in this jersey...... After a few days speculation, and the Sixers offering, he will most likely retire as a Sixer Allen Iverson informed the Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday morning that he will accept their one-year, non-guaranteed offer. The contract is for a pro-rated veteran's minimum of $1.3 million. "In light of the recent injury to Lou Williams, which will sideline him for close to eight weeks, we felt that Allen was the best available free agent guard to help us at this time," team president Ed Stefanski said. I was hoping that somehow, someway, the Cavs will show interest in order for him to get a championship ring. But retiring in Philadelphia, where it all started after Georgetown, is the best way to go for now.
