And to answer, I will make a vow: If it is me, that 10 grand will be reinvested as a seat in the World Series of Poker. You have my word. This is the best day of the playoffs at DraftStreet, because the $40,000 NBA Big Score is taking place tomorrow for games being
I wish I could give you a brief synopsis of what is contained in this podcast, but that is not possible. I covered a heck of a lot of ground in this interview with Mark Malusis of CBS Sports radio, touching on coaching vacancies and playoff battles. So in brief, here’s what we hit upon: _ The Lakers coaching vacancy, which if I had to guess who the next guy to hold the job will be, I’d go with Jeff Van Gundy.

The quote is part of a 2 1/2 minute recording, apparently of a phone call, that RadarOnline says has been authenticated as Sterling’s voice.
