LOTD: Newly Sponsored Basketball-Reference.com Calbert Cheaney Page

March 6, 2009 By 5 Comments

While taking a prolonged lunch break and procastinating at work, I stumbled upon Bill Simmons’ most recent mailbag.

Nearly an hour later, here I am — still procrastinating.

Anyway, in the latest Bill Simmons mailbag a reader tells him about a feature at Basketball-Reference.com in which you can sponsor player pages and suggests that Simmons sponsor the Mike DunleavCalbert Cheaneyy page. Simmons, of course, proceeds to do so. Follow the link to view Simmons’ sponsorship of the Mike Dunleavy Basketball-Referene.com page.

If you don’t feel like clicking on a link, it says: “I wasted tens of thousands of dollars on Clippers tickets from 2004-2009 thanks to Dunleavy, only one of the most dreadful coach/GM’s in NBA history. What’s another 10 dollars?”

Well, it didn’t take me but two seconds to realize I needed to sign up and sponsor the page for my favorite basketball player of all time: Calbert Cheaney. I’ve made my love for Calbert Cheaney known many times on this site, so no need to belabor to the point any more in this post. However, I will direct your attention to the newly sponsored Calbert Cheaney page on Basketball-Reference.com with today’s Link of the Day:

LOTD: Calbert Cheaney Player Page — (Basketball-Reference.com)

Note: I just realized there is about a 24-hour delay between when you sign up to sponsor and when it actually shows up on their page. But screw it, I’ve already written this post out so I’m publishing anyway.

Anyway, I encourage you all to wisely invest $15 like I did to sponsor the page of your favorite player — or do what Simmons did and sponsor the page of someone you despise.  Leave a link to your sponsored page in the comments for all to enjoy.

    I should have flashsportstonight.com sponsor the Kurt Rambis page for 25$

    @KVB, You should man. I was thinking that you and I should sponsor the Luc Longley and Carson Cunningham pages. Too bad we can’t include pictures of ourselves.

  • Plough

    You are a hero.

    I may have to go see if anyone has sponsored Alan Henderson.

    Those bastards still haven’t put my sponsorship up! I have the receipt and everything. WTF?

    @JRod, I better not have accidentally sponsored Brian Cardinal’s page instead…
