Clippers reportedly decide on Del NegroBasketball Betting Lines07/06/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Clippers have decided to hire Vinny Del Negro as their next head coach, according to a Tuesday night report by Yahoo! Sports. Del Negro and Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Dwane Casey were finalists for the position and both had interviews on Monday. The 43-year-old Del Negro had one season and about $2 million remaining on his contract with the Bulls when he was fired. He compiled an 82-82 regular season record to go with a 4-8 postseason record over two turbulent years with the team. The Bulls finished with a 41-41 mark in each season and were ousted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of this year's playoffs. Prior to his coaching stint with Chicago, Del Negro spent 13 seasons in the NBA with Sacramento, San Antonio, Milwaukee, Phoenix and Golden State, averaging 9.1 points and 3.2 assists in 771 career regular season games. He also spent parts of three seasons playing in Italy. The Clippers need a replacement for interim head coach Kim Hughes, who was relieved of his duties following this past season. Hughes, who took over behind the bench after the resignation of Mike Dunleavy on February 4, finished the season with an 8-25 record as the Clippers went 29-53 and landed third in the Pacific Division. The Clippers have not recorded a winning season since going 47-35 in 2005-06, which was the last time the club advanced to the postseason. That year, LA topped Denver in five games before falling in a seven-game Western semifinal against Phoenix.

FOOTBALL TRASH TALKNFL Football Trash TalkTrash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing). Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion. Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site). Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com. Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season. The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation. What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill. Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies. But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply. In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton. |
