Entering the 2009-10 season, Will Conroy was the NBA Developmental League’s career leader in the following categories: minutes played, field goals made, field goals attempted, free throws made, free throws attempted, assists, turnovers—and perhaps most importantly—points scored.
He was amongst the top 10 in six other categories: games played (eighth), three-point field goals made (sixth), three-point field goals attempted (fifth), steals (third), assists per game (fourth), and assist percentage (eighth).

ôYou know I used to hate Parkman when he was with the A's. ItÆs amazing how a new uniform can change your attitude about a guy....HeÆs still a dick.ö ùHarry Doyle, Major League II
Upon hearing the news that the Seahawks have selected USCÆs Pete Carroll to be their next head coach, I couldnÆt help but reminisce about a particular scene from the movie Major League II .
In the first ...
Seattle Seahawks Deserve Ass-Kicking Tyrant for Next Head Coach
Posted: 8th January 2010 by Alex Akita in NFL
If the Seattle Seahawks were the classic computer game Oregon Trail, I would put the pace on ôgrueling,ö the food rations on ôbare bones,ö and tell the players, ôShut the hell up and play, or youÆre gonna get dysentery and die.ö
Loaded with prima donnas from top to bottom, the 2009 edition of the Hawks were coddled by their head coach, Jim Mora, who lost his job as a result. Consider ...
Until Sunday, I thought the Seahawks would be just fine tinkering with their roster and attempting to patch holes in places of need. Then I looked at our players and realized there are so many holes that we would need a Band-Aid the size of Star Jones (pre-stomach stapling) in order to patch up this team.
Which is why IÆve changed my stance on the Hawks and now believe itÆs time ...

Once upon a time, the Pontiac Silverdome was the home of the NFLÆs Detroit Lions and the NBAÆs Detroit Pistons.
Built in 1975 in the midst of AmericaÆs dome frenzy era, the Silverdome was constructed at a cost of $55,000,000 (or roughly $220,000,000 in todayÆs economy). This past Monday, the 127 acre plot of land along with its dilapidated ...
Tim Lincecum got busted for marijuana possession. Big deal. At least he didnÆt hurt anyone. Kill anyone. Cheat the game.
On top of that, the San Francisco Giants ace and Renton, Wash., native wasnÆt even under the influence when he was caught.
He just committed a slight faux pas. Had his pipe sitting out during a routine traffic stop. Whoops. WeÆve all been there. Not necessarily with marijuana. But other stuff.
Maybe your ...
Seahawks Following in Footsteps of Division Rival Rams
Posted: 3rd November 2009 by Alex Akita in NFL
Remember when the St. Louis Rams were the team to beat in the NFC West? No teamùnot the Seahawks, 49ers, or Cardinalsùcould wrest the division crown from the RamsÆiron grip.
Led by the likes of Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Marc Bulger, Kurt Warner, Orlando Pace, Leonard Little, and Marshall Faulk, the Rams were a force to be reckoned with in an otherwise weak division.
And then it all blew up.
Seemingly overnight, ...
The Worst Fantasy Football Team Ever Assembled (Satire)
Posted: 19th October 2009 by Alex Akita in NFL
As much as it pains me to write this article, I am the owner and sole proprietor of the worst fantasy football team ever. In the history of the world. And I know it. And it sucks.
I know what youÆre thinking. YouÆre thinking thereÆs no way that my team could be worse than your team from back in the day. At some point in time weÆve all been victimized by ...

Rush Limbaugh, American Citizen, Has Every Right To Buy An NFL Team
Posted: 13th October 2009 by Alex Akita in NFL
If Rush Limbaugh wants to buy a football team, then he should be allowed to buy a football team. Why the hell not, right?
The guy has the funds to do so, heÆs not a criminal, and it is within his right as an American citizen to be able to make a legal purchase of property that is, in turn, legally and willingly sold to him.
This whole ôBan Rushö fest is ...
