Tuesday ESPN links

  • Short and lacking in detail, but nonetheless amazing story about a Rugby player who had a tooth in his head, and by head I don't mean mouth, I mean forehead.
  • Delightful story about how Yi's Chinese team will block his move to the Bucks. It's nearly unfathomable how Larry Harris thought it would be a good idea to draft Yi when it was patently clear that he and his "people" did not want him to play for Milwaukee. It's not like Yi was by far the best talent on the board at 6 so they had to take him despite the risk that they might have to trade him, there were many other good options at 6 such as Brandan Wright, Corey Brewer etc. I really hope the Bucks are forced to trade him, and because other teams know this they refuse to offer much of anything in return and the Bucks end up getting screwed. Nothing against Milwaukee, I just think Harris should be punished for the boneheaded pick.
  • Blue Ribbon Yearbook is exhibiting a healthy amount of zeal for the Boston College Eagles in its predictions of Conference rankings, but not for the Wisconsin Badgers.
  • Finally, for those who didn't get to watch it, Brian Windhorst has a pretty good Summer League round-up with a few words about each of the first rounders, not much to disagree with him on here.

Congratulations to BC for being ranked first in the Atlantic Division...or as I like to call it, ACC Europa. Have fun fending off powerhouses like NC State and the Twerps while the U humiliates currently ranked teams over in the big leagues. Finally, you should keep in mind that being ranked highly by ESPN is the surest sign of imminent destruction.
