Jenn Sterger, will be parting ways with our friends
"In an effort to reinvent myself, in a cut throat industry that was becoming more and more competitive the deeper I swam, I made the decision to go against the grain and remove my implants." Courage, America. Courage. [Officially...Jenn]WHY???
Its a little different being an adult
Brought to you recently on From the mind of a 631.(Post) Here is a follow up to the HS student who left HS to pursue a one year European Career, in waiting for the NBA draft in 2011
Jeremy Tyler left high school to play professionally in the Holy Land, where the plan was to do a credible Kevin Garnett impression and expose the folly of the minimum-age rule. The plan was not to play like Oliver Miller. Alas, as The New York Times' Pete Thamel reports, after just three months in Haifa, Israel, Tyler is being turned into your standard American basketball bogeyman: listless, undisciplined, money-obsessed and supremely self-entitled.
His coach calls him lazy and out of shape. The team captain says he is soft. His teammates say he needs to learn to shut up and show up on time. He has no friends on the team. In extensive interviews with Tyler, his teammates, coaches, his father and advisers, the consensus is that he is so naïve and immature that he has no idea how naïve and immature he is. So enamored with his vast potential, Tyler has not developed the work ethic necessary to tap it.The 6-foot-10 Tyler scored a single point in his first two games, and his season thus far has been notable mostly for his talent to turn everyone around him into Mr. Wilson. He was fined $1,000 for missing a workout and turning up late for an interview. His neighbors have called the police with noise complaints. His girlfriend is Erin Wright, daughter of Eazy-E, whom Tyler's father calls a distraction and a "gold digger."
"It is too early to declare Tyler a bust," Thamel writes, "but it is safe to say that he has transformed from a can't-miss prospect into a project." Maybe so, but we've been here before. In January, the Times did some concern trolling about another age-rule martyr, Brandon Jennings. Like Tyler, Jennings bundled himself off to a foreign land in part to help bring down an unfair and misbegotten rule. Like Tyler, Jennings' struggles were swiftly put to use as a cautionary tale about the ingrained selfishness of American basketball and the perils of bucking the system. Jennings couldn't find his way off Lottomatica Roma's bench and before last June's draft was said to be an "enigma" with a "bad attitude." Today, he's so well-regarded that Knicks president Donnie Walsh is more or less openly apologetic about not drafting him. Tyler is even younger than Jennings was when he shipped off; if he were back in California, he'd be starting his senior season of high school ball right about now. He'll be fine. He just has to survive another year-and-a-half of other people's handwringing.

Sports Illustrated Jinx... Is it a thing of the past?
It all started with Alex Rodriguez admission of using PEDs and he was placed on the cover of SI for doing so. He would have a shortened season partly due to recovery from Hip Surgery but still would play 124 games, batting .286 with an OBP of .402 but hitting 30 HRs and 100 RBIs. Great Power numbers for some one who missed 38 full games. His post season numbers deserved to be from Neptune... he was from another planet. 15 games, 52 ABs, 15 Runs, with an incredible 6 HRs and 18 RBIs while batting a cool . 365 with a .500 OBP his OPS was 1.308 which is off the chart.
If their could of possibly been doubt about my claims, well here is the break in the case... The BIG Piece of Evidence. Its Mariano Rivera on the Cover of SI, right before the 2009 MLB Post Season Started. Rivera in Baseball's second season pitched 12 games logging 16 innings. Struck out 14 and allowed less then a base runner an inning. His ERA was.56 only giving up 1 run in the ALCS. He also had shutdown play in the Fall classic.
Their may possibly be a SI Cover jinx, people like myself do believe in it but This season the Yankees were obviously immuned to it.
NBA Age Limits ruining HS sports?
Jeremy Tyler has become the first American player to jump to an overseas pro team before finishing high school. He'll only, ONLY ummmm thats a LOT, make $150,000, but for an 18-year-old that's a lot of Slim Jims, 59/50's and PS3 games
What a Dope.
We've all wished at one point or another that we could relive our high school days. But when you pose as a high school student to get another crack at a basketball scholarship, try not to land an underage girlfriend. That's what Anthony Avalos did. Perhaps watching the Yuma, Ariz., boys basketball team play, he thought to himself, "I could beat these kids." And, at 22 years old, he probably could. So he printed out a phony birth certificate and registered as a junior. Never mind the fact that he already graduated high school in 2005. We had no suspicion at all," says Richard Faidley, associate superintendent for YUHSD. "You could walk across our campus and see a lot of kids with his age appearance." Also fooled: his 17-year old girlfriend. So when the school figured something was up after noticing misspellings on his "birth certificate," Avalos was charged with forgery and sexual conduct with a minor. Which, honestly, can only help his street cred as he hopes for an NCAA scholarship next fall.
