Slow weekend in sports really. I would like to pat myself on the back for accurately predicting the pinning and immediate movement of Chase Utley's hand.

Other news from around the sports world:

-MLB Rumors is running a story that Jose Canseco is accusing Alex Rodriguez of using steroids. I'm sure ESPN will run with this.

-Referee Joey Crawford wants to meet with David Stern to discuss his suspension for ejecting Tim Duncan from a game in April. Reports say Stern is ready to lift the suspension.

-ESPN is reporting that the Celtics and Timberwolves are close on a deal that would send Kevin Garnett to the Celtics in exchange for Al Jefferson and Theo Ratliff. Right now, it seems like Garnett is the only roadblock as he does not want to go to Boston. Although, he is warming to the idea, sources say.

-And some news from my Alma-Mater, Not The Game correspondant, Jim Metaxas reports: "Recent Villanova basketball alum Mike Nardi was spotted this past weekend at the La Costa bar in Sea Isle, NJ. Nardi who helped lead Nova to three NCAA tournaments from 2005-2007, plans to play professional basketball in Italy this fall. As a testament to his conditioning and health, Mike abstained from drinking the whole night. Best of luck to Mike on his future."

What to expect this week from Not The Game?

We will be doing our first "How To" article on enjoying sports in HD. Along with that you can expect to see my first "Fantasy Football Diary", taking you inside the process of picking a winning team. Also, we will have a halfway review of the "Bronx is Burning". And as always, news, links, and pithy comments.
