Courtesy SWAC.org Sat, November 24, 2012 NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Dray Joseph threw for five touchdowns as Southern University overcame an early deficit and held on late to defeat Grambling State 38-33 on Saturday in the Bayou Classic. Grambling trailed 38-20 early in the fourth quarter but cut into Southern's lead with two touchdowns. The Tigers reached Southern's 41-yard line, but Grambling quarterback Frank Rivers was sacked and fumbled to end the game. The game marked the end of disappointing seasons for both teams. Southern (4-7, 3-6 Southwestern Athletic Conference) fired coach Stump Mitchell two games into the season and expects to replace interim coach Dawson Odoms. Grambling (1-10, 0-9), the defending league champion, ended the season with one victory for the first time since 1941 -- the school's inaugural year under legendary coach Eddie Robinson. Grambling took a 14-0 lead, converting a pair of fumbles by Southern into touchdown passes by D.J. Williams. Joseph...

NBA Lessons from Comedy Central's "Workaholics" PT. 1: Let's Get Weird

Comedy Central's "Workaholics," might be more than just a satirical, hippied-out, sarcastic dedication to today's working class (Who knew?). Between the drugs, drinking, and controlled substances that Anders, Blake and Adam consume on a daily basis, the troubled trio manages to spit out some important (and strange) life lessons; lessons that the sport of basketball (NBA included) have recently come to admire, adhere to, and even practice. Bare with me here (pun intended). Lesson 1: "Let's Get Weird" -It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that the first three weeks of this NBA season have been as odd as they come. First things first, the Lakers have a worse record than the Bobcats, the Hornets, the Warriors, and a number of other less-talented teams, and they selected Mike D'Antoni over ex-Lakers Head Coach, Phil Jackson, to be the chosen figure that will solve their multitude of problems and lead them to the promised...
Mike D'Antoni is the wrong choice for the Lakers

by Ryan Henry As, Jerry Buss gets ready to unveil his new toy, I have some bad news for him. Mike D’Antoni is a terrible fit for the LA Lakers. Everybody was so ready for the Lakers to, yet again, announce Phil Jackson as the coach of this year’s new super team that nobody thought about any other options. Apparently the Lakers forgot to do that as well. For the uninitiated, D’Antoni made his name with the 2004-2005 Phoenix Suns. Having just acquired Steve Nash (now of the LA Lakers), D’Antoni in his first full year installed the “Seven seconds or less” offense. Nash directed the Suns to the top offense, an MVP trophy and D’Antoni to a NBA Coach of the Year award. He won 50 or more games in four consecutive seasons before leaving for the New York Knicks. He promptly experienced the first two losing seasons

Los Angeles - Lakers will name Mike D'Antoni as their new head coach to replace Mike Brown. This was Phil Jackson's job to turn down, but never got the chance. Jackson's agent was scheduled to meet with the Lakers front office today to discuss compensation. At midnight, Mitch Kupchak and the Buss family switched gears and agreed to terms with D'Antoni. Sources close to the team say the move away from Phil was a concern that the new players will not be able to adopt the triangle offense made famous by Jackson as he won five championships with the Lakers and six with the Chicago Bulls. Kobe Bryant wad suprised by the but on board with the hiring. Steve Nash played for D'Antoni in Phoenix and will be able to run the pick roll with Dwight Howard. More details to follow...

Cleveland, OH (November 9th,2012) - The Grambling state University Men's Basketball team lost their season opener on the road to Cleveland State by the score of 92-49. Leading the way for the G-Men was Terry Rose with 16 points, while P.J. Roberson led the Tigers in rebounding with six boards. As a team the Tigers were out rebounded by Vikings 39-24. The Tigers shot the ball extremely well from the charity stripe as they were 80 percent from the line. The Tigers will continue their three game road trip on Sunday as they will face Ball State in Muncie, Indiana. They will conclude their first road trip of the season on Tuesday as they will go back to Ohio to face Miami of Ohio. -GSU-

Los Angeles - The Lakers organization as decided to part ways with Mike Brown after starting their blockbuster season 1-4. During last night's game, Kobe Bryant gave his then coach the "death stare", but he did later describe it more as frustration than anger. Sitting in Brown's pregame press conference before the season opener against the Mavs, everyone looked puzzled when he said that he did not expect the team to really start to gel until January. Maybe he did not realize he was coaching in LA, not Cleveland.

by Ryan Henry We have arrived at the halfway mark of this NFL season, and with it come a number of fantasy football booms and busts. Let’s take a look at what I got wrong, what I got right and who you should be targeting going forward. Busts Matthew Stafford has pretty universally disappointed fantasy owners. He went into the season as basically the consensus number 5 quarterback, and many had to spend a second round pick in order to get him. The hype surrounding Stafford was enormous.

Now that we have finally started the 2012-13 NBA season, who would have predicted during last June's finals that Dwight Howard and Steve Nash would be Lakers, Ray Allen would be in his green for red in Miami, and that James Harden would be in a Houston Rocket uniform. The Harden trade has so far been the most surprising trade this season. What was OKC thinking?

Dallas - The Cowboys lost to the Atlanta Falcons last night 19-13. Dallas started the game with two great drives on offense that only netted 6 points. This season quarterback Tony Romo has had to call more audibles than any other time in his career. The reason, based on a team insider, is his dislike for some of the plays head coach and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett is calling.
