All tag results for 'draft'

A women's basketball star in the NBA??

YES PLEASE!!

Mark Cuban, owner of the Mavericks, Shark Tank shark, and all around normal and decent dude (who happens to be filthy f***ing rich), has just said that he'd think about drafting Baylor's Brittney Griner! That would make her the first women's basketball player in the NBA and we think he should TOTALLY do it!

Here's what he said:

Adrian Hamilton is a linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens.

A paparazzo recently caught up with him and asked for his two cents on the whole Manti Te'o scandal.

The back and forth went a little like this:

What an unbelievable transformation!

Check out the just-released theatrical trailer for All Things Fall Apart, which stars 50 Cent as running back about to be drafted into the NFL when he is diagnosed with cancer (above)!

Wow! We've really never seen him like this!

Not just physically! This is quite the serious turn!

Excited to see how he does! How about U?

Congrats!

Baylor University quarterback Robert Griffin III took college football's top honor this weekend and won the 2011 Heisman Trophy on Saturday.

The QB, who threw for almost 4,000 yards this season, is the 32nd player of that position to be honored with the award since it's inception in 1935.

This year's most outstanding player in college football won after he received 405 first-place votes and 1,687 total points, compared to 1,407 points garnered by runner-up Andrew Luck, a quarterback for Stanford.

Griffin is the FIRST

Back in January, we were excited to learn that Judd Apatow was innerested in possibly directing the upcoming Pee-wee Herman movie!

Now, Pee-Wee actor Paul Reubens has given us an update on the project, and we're pleased to hear that Apatow is still involved!

Here's what Reubens had to say about it:

Blaine Gabbert has a strong arm, but that’s not why the NFL is ogling over him for a top draft pick.

They want him for his brains! Like zombies! (jk)

But seriously, the guy basically has a photographic memory, which is a great asset to have as a quarterback.

“Once you say it to him it is set in stone,” says David Yost, University of Missouri offensive coordinator and quarterback coach. “His ability to process the information is amazing. You give it to him, he retains it.”

His memory makes him an awesome asset to any team, because he’s able to memorize plays and set-ups better than anyone else.

Brains over brawn!

So, in case you didn’t know, Jay-Z is a minority owner of the NJ Nets, and owners of teams are not allowed to contact amateur players who have not yet been chosen for the draft pool.

Which is why he’s in trouble for meeting up with the Kentucky Wildcats before and after their game on Sunday.

The NBA is investigating the nature of his visit, specifically because two Wildcat players are potential lottery picks.

If Jay-Z is found guilty of inappropriate interactions with the players he will face a small fine.
