NBA Playoffs – JD
It was a slightly more exciting week in the NBA this week with a couple small comebacks that didn’t quite come to fruition. Friday night hosted a plethora of game 6’s, and while it was easily the single most exciting night of the playoffs to date – it wasn’t like it made the overall product any better.
The Miami Heat haven’t played a game in [...]

Yesterday, Sports Illustrated published an essay written by Jason Collins.

NBA Playoffs 2013 – JD
It’s a new year. It’s a different season. Yet, the results will look strikingly similar to last year. That’s right, it’s playoff time – and I’m telling you what every basketball fan either has been dying to hear, or is already denying with every ounce of their being.

Reflecting -JD
Monday morning when I began thinking about what stories might find their way into this column on a relatively quiet sports week things seemed very normal. Between Kobe’s Achilles, getting closer to the NFL draft, a few baseball stories – and of course a preview for the NBA playoffs – as the season comes to a close.

Josh Durso says seeing there is a problem with the Masters’ rules is much easier than actually fixing it.
The masters isn’t over. It’s Sunday morning, and we have a problem. It’s not a problem with The Masters, and it’s not a problem with a particular player, or group.
It’s a problem with the governing body, I think.
Well, no. It ha [...]

NCAA Championship Preview – JD
It’s here, finally. The madness has nearly come to a close, yet the month of March (even though it’s April) still has a little gas left in its tank.
Okay, so it won’t be the 4th seeded Syracuse Orange, taking on the 9th seeded Wichita State Shockers – but this contest surely will not disappoint by any means.
No one in their right minds [...]

SDN Sports with Josh Durso
If your name is Tiger Woods 2013 is treating you better than any of the last four years by a long shot. Not only are you back to winning ways that at least resemble the Tiger Woods of old on the course, but your personal life has seemed to make a return to “more normal” form.
That is to say as normal as one’s perso [...]
