STEPHEN A. SMITH APPROVES OF STEPHEN A. SMITH'S BARCALOUNGER

EVERY GAME I RECAP IS IMPORTANT!
The NBA Closer is now written by our own Canadian weekend maestro J.E. Skeets. When he's not busy scouring the box scores, he can be heard on The Basketball Jo— WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, FALL BACK, BLOGGER!

Are We Going To Have A Stephen A. Lawsuit?
We can understand if you didn't quite remember this, but Stephen A. Smith actually writes occasionally, if you can count "tapping furiously into a Blackberry" as "typing."

You might have wondered, with STEPHEN A.

Why Can't They Just Leave Poor Michael Vick Alone?
Well, now that legal expert Emmitt Smith has weighed in on the Michael Vick situation — saying the feds are just leaning on Vick to get "to everyone else," though we're trying to figure out who's more involved that the guy who slammed a dog into the ground until he died, we can wrap the whole matte...
