Sunday Night Links: Drew is a Dragon
kj on Aug 3rd 2008
Drew Neitzel has signed with the Artlund Dragons of Germany’s Basketball Bundesliga (I’m a casual international soccer fan–which I know sounds like any oxymoron. Anyway, I love saying the word “Bundesliga.” Bundesliga. Bundesliga. Bundesliga.) Apparently, the move was made to ensure some guaranteed money and playing time in a competitive league, as European teams tend [...]

The guys in the new banner
kj on Jul 1st 2008
There was a little discussion in the comments section of the last post as to whether Neitzel belongs up there on the new banner with Magic, Skiles, Smith, Respert, and Cleaves. The first five guys are no brainers:
