As Kermit used to say, “it’s not easy being green,” which is why i thought these items were pretty cool… First there’s a new Puma phone that was announced this week at MWC (the largest mobile conference in the world) and instead of trying to compete with iPhone/Android and trying to do everything it’s just [...]

What happened on draft day is that the the Timberwolves had ranked Flynn as #1 on their board of people they thought they [...]
