December 30, 2008While We’re Waiting aims to be the round-up of the recent WFNY-esque information for your morning viewing. Have something you think we should see? Send it to our tips email in the sidebar.
Happy Birthday, LeBron. “The two times James played as a professional on Dec. 30 as a professional the Cavs have lost. He scored 22 points in a loss to the Indiana Pacers at home on his 19th birthday in 2003. Two years ago, the day he turned 22, James and the Cavs lost in Chicago despite his 33 points.” [Brian Windhorst]
Filed under “News that will surprise absolutely no one,” Ricky Davis was busted for drugs. [Associated Press]
“It’s a familiar refrain in the recent sporting history of New York, where nine-figure contracts are legion. But the Mets, Jets and Knicks last won titles in 1986, 1969 and 1973, respectively, with how much more TV and merchandising revenue than their competition?” [Cleveland Frowns]
Northwestern took Missouri into OT last night. Can Penn State take it to the next level for the Big Ten? [ESPN]
And finally, Hardwood Paroxysm has some quick observations regarding the Cavaliers. [Hardwood Paroxysm]

Hahaha, gotta love Hardwood Paroxysm’s ‘observations’ about the Cavs.
Frankly, it’s good to see after that whole With Malice post from a week or so ago…
Shameless plug time. Before I started writing on this site, I did an entire piece about how Ricky Davis is bad for your team. It is complete with statistical analysis of wins and losses related to Ricky’s playing time on your team.

I love this Craig.
I wonder what Stephon Marbury is like. Every team he leaves turns to gold (Suns, Nets), and his new one stinks.
With all respect, I don’t buy the “Cowher-wants-more-money-in-NY” argument that I infer from the Frowns post. I think he genuinely doesn’t want to coach against Pittsburgh twice a year, and if it’s on his mind I’m OK with him not being my team’s coach.
Cowher said before that out of respect for the Rooney family he would have difficulty coaching in Cleveland. I think I can understand that.
it’s not that cowher wants more money, it’s that he might be prone to talk to the jets because so much more money is there, just like favre surely was. (doubtful he’d ever have considered the browns) thought the correlation at least shed some light on the point is that big media markets are more susceptible to questionable “buzz-creating” decisionmaking.
entirely reasonable for cowher to turn down the browns out of respect for the rooneys though.
and thanks for the link!
