Schmeelks Stance: Carmelo Confusion
For so long, Carmelo Anthony’s position made sense. He wanted to get out of Denver, and move to a big market. He felt the Nuggets were stuck in “almost land” with little chance to make a run at the finals in a strong Western Conference with superior teams like the Lakers. He wanted to land with the team in the biggest market. He wanted to join forces with another legit superstar like Amar’e Stoudemire, and a very solid supporting cast that would have a legit chance of get...

Highlightin Hoops: Knicks Dont Love LA
There haven’t been a lot of times this year where I’ve said it. In fact, this was the first time in the last eight weeks where it was evident. The New York Knicks were overmatched. It should come as no surprise that the Lakers were able to impose such a dominant will over Mike D’Antoni’s team. Phil Jackson has the luxury of starting two all-star caliber 7-footers, and one of the best five guards to ever play the game. When the two teams walke...

The Arizona Shootings and Personal Responsibility
There has, I’m sure, already been far, far more than enough coverage of and opining upon the high profile shootings in Arizona yesterday. And for the most part I’ve tried to stay out of it apart from repeatedly cautioning folks on both sides of the aisle against jumping in too soon with both feet lest one of them wind up in their mouth.
On that subject, Ed Morrissey has already done most of my work for me in terms of the media’s botched coverage of the monstrous proceedings. ...
