Finally the grand show in Beijing has come to an end. It almost feels like the Tibetan protests were happening ages ago, such was the grandeur of the games. From the opening ceremony till the finish, it all went smoothly contrary to what many believed. There were terrorist threats and there were street protests but I think the Chinese carried the Olympics very well. The opening ceremony itself set a benchmark, nevermind a controversy. While watching it and while experiencing the ceremony...
Team USA continues to roll on through the competition in Beijing and so I just feel compelled to write about it. Actually I’m just getting ready to watch the latest game on my DVR and figured that I’d throw out some thoughts on it. Oh, and by the way, my name is Andy York. This is a new blog here(new site, right?) and I promise it’s going to be about the NBA and then the NBA some more. So, now that all the introductions have been made, let’s talk...

But move over Mark Spitz, there's a new hero in town! His name is Michael Phelps. And not only did he break your...
If you have eight Olympic Golds, millions of dollars and you could just spend the rest of your life swimming metaphorical laps, what are you interested in? (Yes, you are Michael Phelps.) How about Playboy Playmates? Because that's something that might pique my interest for the remaining 60 years of my life.And, according to Radar Online, Phelps may also have some interest in women who are paid to take their clothes off doing just that. Radar Staff Writer Neel Shah spent the evening in Las...
