We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

NBA Salary Cap
The NBA announced that it lowered the salary cap for next season. Now, the amount of money every team can spend on players without being taxed by the league is down for the first time in six years. This is the second time in the 26 years the salary cap has been in place in the NBA that it has gone down. This shouldn’t be a big surprise because of the economy, but it will make some teams who don’t want to go over the salary cap to make some hard decisions. The salary cap for last season was 58.7 million and it was cut to 57.7 million. That is not a huge cut, but instead of going up, it has gone down a tad. If it keeps going down next season it could affect the free agency of 2010. I guess time will only tell……………………………
