The latest addition to the SportsCracklePop book club is a bit more serious than our usual fare. “Fading Echoes” is the story of two high school football rivals who grew to be soldiers. Both shipped off to war but only one came back.

The author, Mike Sielski, was kind enough to take a few minutes and discuss his book.

Glen Davis was first, and now we have Nate Robinson plus his crew trying to “Teach us how to Dougie.” I think enough is enough.

Until they can get Brian Scalabrine dancing, I have had enough of the Celtics Soul Train line.

John Starks averaged about one steal per game during his 13 year NBA career. According to Page Six, one of his fans apparently tried to top that in one night.

Ilya Kovalchuk has agreed to a 17 year deal with the Devils. It’s a way for both sides to circumvent the salary cap, and there’s no way the winger will actually play out the entire life of the deal. But, what if he did?

I am not saying this is the reason why the Philadelphia Phillies are going to lose me my over 93 win bet this season, but I do need to justify why a team this good can be so mediocre. Yeah yeah it could be the injuries, but this is more fun. Take a look at what Crossing Broad found out after the Fightins loss last night against the Cardinals.

“Russ Kelly on Twitter mentioned it (@russkelly): Jason Werth and a some other Phaillies are at a St. Louis casino at this hour. Hope they play extra crappy tomorrow.

That tweet was at almost 4 AM central time.

When Wayne Rooney stands next to Rudy Gay he looks like a lost young teenager.

While watching Entourage on HBO last night, I found myself checking the clock to see how much longer it was going to last.  I was bored out of my mind. A show that was once great has now lost its way. We’re only a few episodes in, but this season is shaping up to be the worst in the history of the show. The life and times of these people was interesting when Vince was an up and coming movie star or when he was an actor taking a chance on a passion project and especially when he was a complete Hollywood washout trying to claw his way back. Now, the writers have made him an unmitigated success and they have no idea what to do about it.

Turtle has a limo service? How did that happen? No need to explain that.

Vince is an adrenaline junkie? There’s never been any indication that he was like that, but sure, go ahead. Also, HE BOUGHT A DINOSAUR HEAD!!!

The previews for next week apparently showed Drama and John Stamos playing ping pong to save Drama’s career.  What the fuck is that?

There’s only one way to save this show. VINCENT CHASE HAS TO DIE!

And of course it is none other than Glen “Big Baby” Davis. Show them how it’s done son.

It’s been an awful season for AJ Burnett and it continues to get worse. AJ apparently pulled a Kevin Brown and injured his hands in frustration during today’s game, but took the mound anyway, giving up 4 earned runs before getting pulled and taking the loss for his team. This raises the question, where is Burnett headed?

Will he go the route of Kevin Brown,  the “stellar” pitcher that the Yankees started in Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS, who also had a fantastic 21.60 ERA over his two starts? Or, will he pull a Wang, and see his 4.75 ERA for 2010 rocket up to Wang’s unbelievable 9.64 ERA from 2009.

Let us know what you think in the poll below. I personally think he’s an over-tatted version of K. Brown.

Leave it to Affion Crockett, Jevin Smith, and Mark Douglas to spoof LeBron James’ decision using Jay-Z and John Mayer as their muse.

The LBJ running man might be my new move on the dance floor.
