It’s impossible for a reasonable person to read the transcript of a phone call recorded by federal wiretap between LSU head basketball coach Will Wade and shoe company pimp Christian Dawkins and not conclude Wade was at least aware one recruit was being paid to commit to the Tigers. Here’s the most damning part of […]
Virginia won the National Championship last night, and so Kyle Guy is a champion.

ESPN.com’s headline recounting the incident reads, […]
