John Amaechi, JR Rider, Stephen Jackson
What do these three men have in common? Wait, let me rephrase that. One of these things is not like the other... Get it? Maybe not, I'm not talking about the fact that Amaechi sleeps with dudes. I'm talking about the fact that he's now the only one of the 3 with whom it will be consensual. That's right everybody, JR Rider's going to jail and SteJax is in court this April. I have a feeling they will both be calling an even bigger, meaner dude "daddy," in the near future. And to be honest, SteJax has always struck me as the kind of aggressive, homophobic, ass who might give a guy like Amaechi shit just 'cause he's gay. Rider has been in and out of trouble for years. Sad news. Amaechi however gets props for starting the trend. He's put the assholes of the league under the gun; start accepting, or start packing. Guys who are prejudiced against homosexuals will be outed and the bad PR will devastate their wallets. Just sit back and watch the assholes change their tunes. And then see if the league doesn't start airing games on Bravo in the next few years...

Totally unrelated to this post (except that it's sort of British?): are you following Aston Villa at all? Randy Lerner owns them and the Browns, but being a Villa fan is way more satisfying than being a Brown's fan right now. They brought in a top notch manager last season and now he's beginning to make acquisitions that are really helping the team. Neither is true of the current Brown's management.
Lerner is authorizing the expenditure of some serious loot, and so far it looks like his money is not being wasted. Carew and Young were great signings for sure, and some of the Villa vets are really coming into their own (Barry).
Players who were already on the team when Martin O'Neill came on are talking about how they wish they had played with him before and how they're learning so much. Crennel? Not exactly the same story.
As the U.S. sports world heads into its annual period of insufficient activity, I definitely recommend picking teams in the Premiership (Villa) and La Liga (Valencia) and pretending you're a football fan.
Post your thoughts on the Brown's draft. I'll even give you a prompt: "If the Browns draft Brady Quinn or Troy Smith in the first round, I will..."
