NBA Draft's Most Exciting Selections

I recently got the opportunity to write for Bleacher Report.  As such, most of my work will cease to be posted here and instead put somewhere on their site.  The links for these articles will be provided here, as well as through my Twitter and FB accounts.  However, any non-sports related work will continue to appear in Late Night Thoughts.  Here is my first contribution to the cite:

What to Make of Jared Sullinger


Before he was a two time All-American, Jared Sullinger was a five star recruit with a rating of 100 by ESPN and depending on which scouting group you subscribe to, fell anywhere from five to two among all high school seniors.  He won the Naismith Prep Player of the Year and took his talents to Columbus.    

And now, after averaging over 17 points and nearly 10 rebounds per game over the course of two years at Ohio State, Sullinger will be on the outside looking in at the NBA Draft.  This doesn’t mean he won’t be drafted; Sullinger will likely still fall somewhere in the first round, but only anticipated lottery picks get a draft day invitation.

The 21 Best Songs of Kanye West's Career


Kanye West is the greatest hip-hop artist of today.  Period.  Nobody is as musically gifted and nobody is as personally invested in the lyrics as is Kanye.  His producing abilities alone would place him among the field’s best.  He rarely makes bad songs (although Theraflu makes my head hurt, but I blame DJ Khaled) and all of West’s studio albums (yes, even 808’s) have been miles ahead of what any else is putting out in terms of complexity, substance, and overall listenability.

The New NFL Offseason (SECOND EDITION!!)


I know that the last several weeks have been hard on all my loyal readers.  Many nights were spent awake and on those few occasions where you did drift into a depressing, sports-deprived slumber, you awoke in a sweat-drenched panic.  But fret not, for I have returned. 

I am completely aware of the plentitude of rumors surrounding my unannounced disappearance.  There was that kidnapping story circulating the Internet, but those in the know reassured my concerned fan base that such claims were untrue.  Then there was the bank robbery rumor, but let me just put that one to rest once and for all: It was my twin brother Andy Weinberger who robbed the Bank of America at gunpoint.  I can’t even imagine the other stories you all conjured up.  In reality, I actually have been writing sports articles these past few weeks, just as a freelance writer for another company.
