That myth about the NBA being a "thug" league.......is just that .....a myth. In the all important 18-34 year old demographic........the NBA is being watched in more homes ....and sports bars than ever before.

Admit it..........these guys........are the best athletes in the world.



Mike Vick & Bankruptcy.......

Seems Michael Vick.......is not exactly bankrupt......At least the judge hearing his case is not convinced. He gave Vick until July 2 to come up with a new plan.....and even suggest Mr. Vick sell a few houses and a few cars.....to pay off his dept.

From Bing.com: Judge: Vick Must Get Bankruptcy Plan In Place By July 2

Poor Michael........
