Just chatted with Eric Gordon. Looks like his return will come later in the week, not on Monday vs. Minny.

Ranking the top 20 sophomores

12. Eric Gordon, Clippers
Gordon has not played since Nov. 7 due to a groin injury. But he was playing at a fairly high level before then, averaging 18 points and four assists per game, while shooting better than 40 percent from 3-point territory. He has outplayed every guard in this class so far, except maybe Westbrook.

Cuban 'interested, but not on a mission'

Cuban 'interested, but not on a mission'

I think somebody posted this as a comment on a fanpost, but I figured I'd throw up the link.

"For the right deal, I'm always interested, but I'm not on a mission," Cuban said Tuesday. "I'll make an inquiry like I have in the other deals, then we'll see what happens. But, again, it's got to be the right deal. It's not like the Cubs situation."

"Blake Griffin was RUNNING through the Clippers' locker room."

"Blake Griffin was RUNNING through the Clippers' locker room."

The article starts out a little lame (Clipper curse, blah blah, blah.) But, Griffin was running through the locker room?! That seems, well, stupid.

Stewart Mandel on Boise State's National Championship Chances

Stewart Mandel on Boise State's National Championship Chances

Stewart Mandel is my favorite national writer for college football, and he's particularly sound when it comes to anticipating bowl games. He argues that Boise State could make the national title game, considering that Boise is currently at 5 and 2 of the 3 SEC teams above the Broncos have to lose at some point. Ultimately, Mandel expects the Broncos will be leapfrogged int the rankings, but it certaintly looks like Boise State is a lock to make a BCS game (if not the championship game) if they go undefeated.

2010 Free Agent Starting Pitchers

2010 Free Agent Starting Pitchers

Jayson Stark ranks the 2010 free agent pitchers. Wolf is listed at #2 which probably means he will get an offer which (if Stark's rankings are in-line with the market) will likely pull him away from the Ravine. The intriguing pitcher for me is Rich Harden listed at #5. Nobody questions his stuff, just his durability. If the Dodgers can negotiate a favorable deal (like they did with Hudson) which limited the years and dollars, I think he would be an intriguing pickup.

Logan White on Draft Reform

Logan White on Draft Reform

"I think the amount of money we spend at the top end of the draft is now too much for what I like to label unproven talent," said Logan White, the Dodgers' assistant general manager for scouting.

"When you draft a player and sign a player -- that's supposed to be when they're a bargain."

Ramirez plugged the erstwhile Big Red Machine into a light socket; he dropped them in a bath with a toaster. His grand slam, the 21st of his career, brought the fans to their feet and popped them like champagne corks, and turned the tight game into a 6-2 Festivus for the rest of us.

Bill Simmons writes an open letter to Blake Griffin.

One of those very clever Bill Simmons articles. I think people shoudl stop referring to him as a Clipper fan.
