Arsenal have overtaken Chelsea in the 'rich list' of European clubs while Manchester United have dropped to third place behind Real Madrid and Barcelona. The Deloitte Football Money League sees the two Spanish clubs secure the top spots but mainly due to the continuing decline of the pound against the euro.
LOS ANGELES -- Derek Fisher doesn't dispute NBA teams will lose $400 million this season. But he isn't sure it's fair to fully blame the losses on player salaries being too high.
The president of the National Basketball Players Association was asked his impressions of NBA Commissioner David Stern's state-of-the-league address during All-Star Weekend last month. It was then that Stern revealed how much money the NBA is projected to lose this season in a tough economy, and said the "level of revenue devoted to players' salaries (is) too high'' in the NBA's current collective bargaining agreement.
"I think the discussion also is about, 'Are things just related to the economy,''' Fisher, a Lakers guard, said in an interview with FanHouse. "What other variables go into why teams are losing money? That's the conversations that we (the union) want to have.
"Let's discuss all of the reasons why (teams are losing money). Some of it is you have some teams in bad arena (situations) that are in tough markets. You have situations where teams aren't as competitive where you know that's going to impact the fan base. You have another batch of teams this year that have dumped guys to clear salary-cap room for the summer, and that's not something that's necessarily going to raise fan support or increase season-ticket sales for next year. ... We don't necessarily agree the only fix is impacting players' salaries.''
Because the Cavs eviscerated the Knicks, tore them up and down and all apart. The team that LeBron James plays for this season pretty much embarrassed the team some folks think he will play for next season.
The 124-93 final actually was misleading. How bad was it?
"They outclassed us," New York coach Mike D'Antoni said. "They outmatched us. Outplayed us."
The way the Dallas Mavericks got started, it seemed like Dirk Nowitzki might get a welcome rest late in the opener of a two-game stretch in less than 24 hours. Except rookie Darren Collison and the New Orleans Hornets turned a lopsided game into a nailbiter before Nowitzki helped bail out the Mavericks.
Heavy rain has forced the postponement of the $150,000 Sham Stakes for 3-year-olds at Santa Anita. Track officials said Saturday that heavy overnight and early morning rain was expected to continue throughout the day, causing drainage problems with the synthetic track. The Sham will be run March 6, with the field redrawn for the 1 1-16-mile race that is a major prep for the Santa Anita Derby on…
Hola, NEWSers. This week your old friend DMtShooter from Five Tool Tool was reminded of hockey for the first time in years, thanks to the gold medal game between the U.S. and the Canadians. And it reminded me of my time as a teenaged hockey gomer (aka, a single sport ubernerd), with gear that was wildly beyond my abilities, and all too much intensity about everything involved in the game… so how irritating were we, really? Let’s break it down.
5) Classic Arcade Gamer Gomer. You can watch this trailer and think that Billy Mitchell is the biggest tool in the world.
But after you’ve seen this movie, you realize that there are bigger tools. Those would be the Billy Mitchell lackeys. (And seriously, check this film out. It’s actually pretty great.)
4) Darts Gomer. To the rest of us, darts is something to do while getting drunk, so you can add a little suspense to your drunkenness, since you are holding something that could put someone’s eye out. And if you are into this (the Shooter brother in law throws), you usually have the sense to keep it to yourself, since everyone else just looks at you funny.
But then there are the Brits. Who actually, um, televise this stuff. And watch it, and care. So if you ever need a reason to feel superior to the limeys, just bring up darts. And the utterly over-the-top commentary. I’m not sure this is still English, and there’s only one word for it: magic.
3) Hockey Gomer. Is there a more aggro way for a mildly athletic white guy with way too much money tied up in gear to show his gangsta tough ways than rec league hockey? No, of course not. But at least some of the time, karma shows up in fun and obvious ways.
And since the sport is so near and dear to my heart, here’s a bonus clip. You’ve got to love a sport where even the fans fail, really.
2) Poker Gomer. This hurts, since I play, host a game, and watch too much of this nonsense. But there is no bigger tool on the planet, pound for pound, then the bad beat whiner in a poker tournament.
So take it away, Phil Hellmuth! The fact that you’ve made an ungodly amount of money from being awful in public, in ways that would get the snot beaten out of you in any home game on the planet, is an unquestioned positive for the game! (And if you somehow stick to the end of the clip, you see the whole problem, really…)
1) Softball Gomer. I’d go through this, but Jim Rome’s made a career of him. Go nuts, Jimbo.
Fellow haters, that’s all I got for this week. See you in seven…

CLEVELAND -- Is it worth it?
