It's natural to focus on all the Knicks celebrating Raymond Felton's huge, buzzer-beating three at the end of the third quarter of today's Boston win. Melo is pumped up. So is Tyson Chandler.

Tennessee QB Tyler Bray Declares Early For Draft, Goes Undrafted
Bray did sign with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, though.

As it turned out, a weak quarterback class meant that quarterbacks went ignored....

Tom Coburn Wants To Revoke Sports Leagues' Tax-Exempt Charity Status
Last week Republican Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma introduced an amendment to a bill called the Marketplace Fairness Act (the so-called "Internet tax") that would revoke the tax-exempt status of sports leagues.
