The Daily Show on Jason Collins and the NBALGBT
Great piece from the Daily Show. My favorite jokes were:- "If you follow the world of sports and/or homosexuality"- Jon going nerdy with three gay wizards: Ian McKellen, Dumbledore and Jason Collins- Video cut getting Obama to say: "[Speaking for Jason] I'm still 7 foot tall and can bang with Shaq."- Jon Stewart and Jason Jones longing for the ability to make Linsanity-like puns that ended with GESPY (Gay-ESPY). In general, I found this a good piece in that it is propelled by an intellectual point (of how a non-flashy coming out is still important and impressibe) with a little light humor around it.

Report: New Orleans Hornets Sold To Saints Owner Tom Benson For $338 Million

Anthony Schneck
04/13/2012
NBA-ology

Quick poll: Would you rather pay over $2 billion for a Los Angeles Dodgers franchise in turmoil, or pay $338 million for a New Orleans Hornets franchise in turmoil? I'm taking the Hornets. According to David Aldridge, the NBA has agreed to sell the Hornets to New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson for $338 million, relieving David Stern of having to manage trades and expenditures for a team that has been headless for a while now. You know what they say in New Orleans: Kill the head and the body will die.

Tom Benson will be the franchise's much-needed head. Just last season the Hornets were a feisty playoff team, but this year they've fallen to the bottom of the NBA thanks to the Chris Paul trade and general depression. This deal works out for both sides; Benson solidifies his grip on New Orleans sports, and the NBA makes a cool $28 million, two-year profit (the league bought the team in 2010 for $310 million, though at least one report has the purchase price at $318M, with an additional $20M investment. Still, I'm skeptical of Rovell).

Hopefully Benson can help turn around the franchise, though it will take more than a few draft picks to replace Chris Paul.
