NASCAR: New Hampshire Fills Me With Melancholy
By Bob Ellis
New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon N.H. is the site of this week’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.
Whenever NASCAR invades this track, a bit of melancholy sets in for me.
Don’t get me wrong, this track has good facilities for both drivers and fans.
It has had some pretty good finishes in the past and [...]

Luis Aragones Sets Tone For Stellar Spaniards
By Beaker
“Yeah runnin’ down a dream that never would come to me
Workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads
Runnin’ down a dream.”
-Tom Petty
“Franco who?“
-Luis Aragones
Just be glad I didn’t choose “Even the losers” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

NBA Draft: Worst In History?
By Kellex
Yesterday, I took the time to do Yardbarker’s mock draft and only because it could possibly win me a Greg Oden jersey. Woohoo! The thing is, during my prediction process, I started looking at the guys that are projected to be in the lottery and I just started shaking my head. I definitely know [...]

TMZ- type Journalism Infiltrates Sports Blogs: Rolling With The Times
By Derek Braid
With the blog v. MSM issue simmering on the back burner the MSM have cleverly fired back at the blogosphere. Allegedly misquoting members from Deadspin, and potentially The Big Lead, a piece in the Los Angeles Times (of all bloody places) has incited recent infighting. Taken from TBL.com:

Mariano “Cutter” Rivera’s Dominance Lives
By Rebecca Glass
There’s a pitcher on the 2008 New York Yankees that’s having a Cy Young season, but you’ll never hear his name mentioned in contention as a serious candidate.

ISW Under Going Facelift
We apologize for any inconveniences. We’ve been working on a new look and direction for ISW for the past couple of months and hope to have this settled shortly. In the meantime, we will still post and enjoy past articles. They’re worth it. So our mothers tell us.

Pondering Paul Pierce As The NBA Finals MVP
By Kellex
The overly obvious and predictable happened the other night. Paul Pierce walked away with the NBA Finals MVP trophy. Of course many of you know my pick for the MVP (*Cough* Ray Allen), but also to many of you, my pick seemed completely unreasonable and bias. Hmm. Well here is my attempt to understand [...]
