Road Less Traveled
Yesterday, the Dan Patrick Show revealed that in this week’s edition of Sports Illustrated, the cover story would be a story written by NBA player Jason Collins, coming out as the first active, gay male athlete in the major professional sports leagues.

Knicks record every word said by & to Carmelo Anthony
Honey Nut Cheerios FTW
New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony’s every word, and those directed at him, were recorded by MSG Network employees during a game over the weekend in New York, under orders from team CEO Jim Dolan. The purpose of Dolan’s command which included having the audio files sent directly to him is unclear but Dolan may have had a good reason to eavesdrop on Anthony’s interactions in the wake of last week’s suspension born out of his highly-publicized trash talking with the Boston Celtics’ Kevin Garnett. During Friday’s home game against the Chicago Bulls, two audio technicians were stationed at two corners of the Madison Square Garden floor one a few feet behind the Knicks bench, the other diagonally opposite where they held parabolic microphones that fed the audio into a digital recorder away from the court.
Anthony proved vulnerable to Garnett’s taunts, and the Bulls have two notorious trash talkers in Joakim Noah and Nate Robinson. So Dolan may have merely been taking extraordinary measures to protect Anthony and keep the Knicks’ season from going completely off the rails.
And although Anthony scored 39 points against the Bulls, no matter what he was saying or was being said to him, the Knicks still lost for the eighth time in 13 games, including all three since Anthony and Garnett got into it, leading to Anthony’s one-game suspension.
“It definitely hurt my team … but for the most part, things are said on the basketball court, I accept that,” Anthony told reporters. “I accept trash talking. (But) like I said, there are things you don’t say.”

“The Zico brand is about supporting naturally powered athletes,” the company said in a statement. “We partnered with Chad Johnson because of our great respect for what he has achieved on the playing field.

NBA Denies Kevin Garnett Opportunity To Own Soccer Team
Ticket Punched Out
The NBA has blocked Kevin Garnett’s investment in AS Roma because the Italian soccer club’s principal owner, James Pallotta, owns a piece of the Boston Celtics.
Miami Heat star LeBron James, through his investment in Fenway Sports Group, is a part-owner of English Premier League club Liverpool. But the potential conflict of interest resulting from Garnett and Pallotta having financial interest in the same operation prompted the NBA to step in.
“If you enter into a business agreement with the owner of a team that doesn’t involve playing service, there are potential problems,” a league source said. “Maybe not in this case. But there is a chance of, say, making a contract a lot larger.”
No such conflict arises with James’ involvement in Liverpool, according to the league, because Fenway Sports Group has no NBA ties.
Jarrett Jack Thinks Ray Allen Is A Traitor For Miami Heat Signing
