Seasons of Discontent

Unless you live under some sort of bridge (in which case you’re probably a hobo…or a troll) you know that the Suns didn’t trade Amar’e Stoudemire at the NBA trade deadline.  Now Amar’e will be going into the summer with the opportunity to opt out of his contract and leave the Suns with nothing.  Of [...]

Apparently this trade is close to happening.  If you’re not a big fan of clicking links I’ll just lay it out for you:
Suns recieve:
J.J. Hickson & Zydrunas Ilgauskas
Cavs recieve:
Amar’e Stoudemire
On Friday night, Bright Side of the Sun touched on a possible deal that would bring Hickson and Big Z to Phoenix, but it also [...]

Hey there reader.  I feel like we’ve got to know each other pretty well over the past 10 months – I write poorly about things that interest me and you don’t read them.  We have a great relationship.  What you may also have noticed is that the majority of my works of art tend towards [...]

If you believe what you read in the papers (and I always do because the media has never lied…ever) the Suns really want Sixers swingman Andre Iguodala.  Apparently really, really bad.  Why you may ask?  Well he’s a pretty good all-around player – he can score, rebound, pass, and defend.  Not a bad combo right?

Saying goodbye sucks.  Call me a dope but ever since Kurt Warner burst onto the NFL scene in 1999 I’ve loved the guy.  I suppose it’s a bit surprising that I was such a big fan of a player on an opposing team, but did you live through the 1999-2004 Cardinals?  Those were not good [...]

Don Banks and I have a complicated one way relationship – he writes things, I hate them, and then I get angry and write back at him on our little-read blog, see here, here, here , here and here for more details.  So with his latest offering – a 2010 NFL mock draft – I [...]

Things I am not above:  Begging for Kurt Warner to stay.  Although I’m certain Number 13 is going to hang up his cleats tomorrow I will take this opportunity to beg him to stay in the matter most befitting SoD – whiny love music.  When you are enjoying each of the glorious 4 minutes of [...]
