Kige on the Bubble

Kige Ramsey is on the ballot for the second annual Deadspin Hall of Fame Induction. Polls close Monday morning, and Kige needs 75% of the vote to get in. He is currently at 71.1%. Should Kige fall short he will join the ranks of Stephen A. Smith, Darren Prince (Dennis Rodman's agent) and burritos in the Deadspin HOF rejection club. Follow the link and get America's favorite fake internet sports reporter/analyst/celeb gossiper into the shrine. I just hope the Nazi's over at YouTube Sports will give Kige the time off to accept his plaque. They've got him cranking out three, sometimes four video blogs a day from their wood-panelled palacial studios.

Stop Giving Him Reason to Shout

MJ went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Richardson-for-Wright deal. The T-Wolves take Chris Richard from Florida, the fourth Gator to go. Stephen A. Smith looks beside himself.

The Blazers take Derek Byars at #42, he will actually go to Philly as part of the earlier deal. Adam Haluska of Iowa goes to Charlotte.

UNC's Reyshawn Terry lands with the Magic. Clips take Jared Jordan of Marist. Still no love for the Orange!

Stephen A Thinks MJ is a Dumbass

Apparently MJ is entertaining the idea of trading draftee Brandan Wright to Jessica Alba for Jason Richardson. Stephen A. Smith was irate, although that had more to do with the fact that its a Thursday than the fact that a horrid trade was about to go down. Carl Landry is the 1st pick of the 2nd round, going to Seattle. Marcus Williams of Arizona went 32nd to the Spurs. The once-unfathomable teaming of Tiago Splitter and Marcus Williams has become a reality. Clear the record books.

Was It Necessary to Have Dicky V & Stephen A on the Same Broadcast?

Petteri Koponen is the last 1st-rounder of the 2007 NBA Draft, landing with the Sixers. Vitale and Stephen A. continue to scream at each other about the depth of the draft. Vitale thinks this draft is better than 2003. I'm sure Stephen A. made a compelling argument, but both of my ear drums blew three seconds into his rebuttal.
