@adamhogecbs: The Big Ten will be announcing their own sanctions in the 10AM CT teleconference. @adamhogecbs: I'm guessing, but Big Ten sanctions might include bowl payouts and money from the Big Ten Network.

Penn State should have lost all its home games this season. Dont give the stupid a chance to rally around the team.

@SBNChicago Dwight Howard Will Reportedly Test Free Agency After 2012-2013 Season

I was just sent an email that said the CTO is submitting paperwork tomorrow to make me a job offer *crosses fingers*

@jasonWSJ Let this be a lesson to you kids: Don't ever play your heart out, pass the ball and transform a New York basketball team in two weeks!

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 03:18 PM) It's highly unlikely the Rockets will withdraw their (verbal) offer to Asik, that kinda stuff is really frowned upon My understanding was that they woud sign Asik if the Knicks matched Lin. Maybe I miss understood, but I thought they were only doing one, not both. And getting Asik and Lin would severely hurt their ability to get Howard, unless they have abandoned that.

@HowardBeckNYT Posting momentarily to http://nytimes.com : Lin will be a Rocket. Knicks deliberations over. So, no offer sheet for Asik, correct?

Saw Brave last night, great movie. My wife burst out laughing at the scene after the credits.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 11:07 AM) I have worked within blocks of the Tower for about 14 years now, and haven't done it. The big reason we are going to do it, is because my six year old is obsessed with the building and really wants to do it. well, once a kid has declared their intentions, you'd doing it whether you want to or not. lol

@KCJHoop Per multiple reports, Houston has officially signed Lin to offer sheet. Asik expected to be signed once Knicks announce they're matching.

@KCJHoop The Korver trade is via Minnesota into Atlanta's traded player exception, meaning Bulls get 2nd-round pick from Minny and save $500K.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 02:29 PM) Read the threads, I was one of the people who was a huge Asik supporter, I didnt even want to trade him for OJ Mayo. That being said, he is not worth the contract. IMO, Omer is a very talent roll player. but he doesnt have the skill set to be a full time player and I dont want a back-up roll playing center to make $15m a year.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 01:46 PM) She was on Leno last night, what an awful person. Not funny, terrible stories, just seemed to be all looks with nothing else to offer. Her entire story was how guys keep dumping her. Olivia Munn used to host a tech show on G4 and it was SOOOOO obvious she was there simply to be T&A... not that I minded.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 3, 2012 -> 12:37 PM) Yeah it cant be explained. They turned Mary Jane into plain Jane Dunst. Its the same with X-Men casting Rogue, who was supposed to be super hot (arguably hotter than Phoenix), yet she is played by Anna Pacquin, who is not nearly as attractive as Femke Janssen. Anna Pacquin was pretty damn hot. No, probably not as hot as Famke Janssen in short shorts, but she was very nice on the eyes.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 08:31 AM) Technically a 2013 movie, but the first trailer for Oz: The Great and Powerful is out. Looks bad ass. My wife and I were having a discussion last night. Is this movie based off any of the books, or is it pretty much entirely made up? As best as I can tell there is no specific book about the wizard's journey to Oz, but i wonder if they pulled pieces of backstory from the other books.

So, let me make sure I understand how the cap is handled. The $100m/5yrs is $20m against the cap for the next 5 years. So, even if they cut him after this season (hypothetical, but not realistic), they are still "charged" $20m a year even if they arent actually paying him, correct?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 01:17 PM) How can they possibly have that much room available? Abraham's suspension? @SalaryCap101 For those wondering, 2012 "cash" does NOT = 2012 "cap," as signing bonuses and/or guar future yr salaries are considered in that "cash" amt.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 12:44 PM) Brees agrees to a contract. 100M/5yrs @adbrandt Looks like Brees has a staggering $40M in 2012. Saints have 3-day window to get out in February, otherwise $15M more gteed in 2013.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 12, 2012 -> 01:21 PM) Nothing worse than being issued a replacement credit card and having to change the number on ALL of your Auto-pay accounts. #firstworldproblems I completely agree!!!

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 02:59 PM) Can someone tell me how 7'0 Brook Lopez only averaged 3.4 rpg last year? he only played 5 games. His career average is 17.4ppg and 7.5rpg

@SportsCenter BREAKING - Dwight Howard trade to @brooklynnets falls through, last-gasp attempt to work deal has died (via @RicBucher) @AlexKennedyNBA Magic informed Howard they are suspending trade talks, according to source. Orlando will now focus on coaching search. @sheridanhoops Breaking news: #Nets are out of Dwight Howard sweepstakes. They will keep Brook Lopez, and probably Kris Humphries, too.

Here is a nice synopses of the Howard/Magic/Nets situation.

@WojYahooNBA Brooklyn's fully guaranteed the first 4 years, $58M of a max deal offer for Brook Lopez, sources tell Y! Sides still discussing 5th year. @WojYahooNBA This is Brooklyn's way to stave off Lopez signing an offer sheet elsewhere, and crushing a sign-and-trade possibility for Dwight Howard. @WojYahooNBA The Nets can have more flexibility with the guarantees on a 5th year of a max deal, because no team can offer Lopez more than four years.
