Welcome to The Now

Brock Turner, student athlete of Stanford U and aspiring Olympic swimmer, has been serving his six- month sentence for being convicted of sexual assault of an unconscious woman. He tried to blame his raping nature on alcohol, his school and women in general . Unfortunately for him, the prosecution has information contradicting his claims at being an alcohol novice . In other words: he fucking lied . USA Swimming has pretty much made him a pariah . His father claims that this is much ado over " 20 minutes of action ." Six months is lenient. Considering the discovery of his hard-core partying, his proclivity to blame everyone but himself and his dad's disgusting attempt to equate rape to the proverbial hook-up, Turner deserves everything a delusional criminal would have coming.

I can say they'll never be so bad that they'll lose by 102 points .

Sometimes the two doesn't mix .

After not being able to even speak to LeBron James directly , the Michigan State coach decides to stay where it's safe.

You can get the WashPost version or the Diamondback's take . Oh, and D.C. Sports Bog has pics .

Please offer this young lady a scholarship. Thank you, Me

Despite yet another opportunity to coach an NBA team who could get the #1 pick in the draft, the former Celtics coach will stay in college . Good move, considering that the last time this happened Pitino had to watch helplessly as The Spurs happily snatched up Tim Duncan.

If the Wiz get lucky and get the #1 pick, they ought to keep Griffin and get a coach who understands how to accept and develop young players. Otherwise, he'll be sitting next to McGee on the end of the bench. -- Izman, responding to a Wizard's Insider Draft Post on Blake Griffin . Oh, and to those who think there's no way that happens: please keep in mind that Jamison hates playing SF and Butler is no 2-guard.

Why did it take " Recruitmentgate " to motivate the team? Good recruits or not, this team was always good enough to make the damn Tourney. But that didn't change the fact that they lost to some fairly weak teams. It seems that only after people starting talking about whether Gary was getting the right players that the team rallied and made some sort of run. Yes, the guy's an awesome coach, but does he have to get so much media and fan pressure in order for him (and the team) to perform? And if so, why? And also: does this mean next year someone has to attack Gary's ability to coach in order for the team to get into the Tourney?

Because you'll want to see 6'8", 16-yr-old Brittney Griner in action a few years from now. And if not, there's always college (Brenda Frese, I'm looking at you)! She's averaging 25 points and 12 rebounds this season, for Pete's Sake!
