Will Knicks sign Lin today or let him go to Rockets? NBA Coach holds Youth Camp; Mud Volleyball Results

Whats good my sports peeps! Another exciting weekend of sports action. Heres the biggest SELIVE HOT 5 HEADLINES for the weekend:


(1) Reds sweep Cards, stay on top of NL Central

BPhillips and Molina about to go at it

  With the second part of the MLB season heating up, and the fact that two Reds players were snubbed by Ex-Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa for the all-star game, this series was important, and the Reds delivered, sweeping St.Louis after ex-Card Scott Rolen hit a GW-2RBI double to put Reds 4 up on the Cards, and 1 up on the Pirates for first in the NL Central. Don't be surprised if Cards and Reds are left fighting for the division come September.

 (2) Brees $100 Million Dollar Man

 Drew Brees ended his lengthy holdout on the last day as the Saints gave him a 5-yr, $100 million dollar deal, with 40 mil up front. Wow. Can you say #winning?... I guess the Saints realized that he will be a player-coach this season, as the guy who got em to come to the Big Easy (Coach Sean Payton) is suspended for a year. Look for Brees, who broke the single seasom passing record last year, to do the same.



(3) Melo calls Lin's contract offer "Ridiculous"; Knicks opt not to resign Lin
     Carmelo Anthony has been the center of attention - again - after saying that the offer that the Knicks had to match from Houston (3 years, 25 million) was "ridiculous." Soon after, the Knicks signed Jason Kidd, traded for Raymond Felton, and the Knicks have looked Lin off more than Melo did when he was in the game. Funny, that it was Melo who advised his coach that Lin should play. Maybe he means "just not on my team."




(4) NBA Coach Tom Townsley holds basketball camp (YMCA) in Dayton

   NBA shooting Coach Thom Townsley held his annual Youth Basketball Camp in Dayton (YMCA Huber Heights and Springboro) last week. Townsley, who currently works with players from the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever, was excited to help the young kids become better players and people, as there were a lot more participants in the event than last year. When asked about the Pacers next season, Townsley thinks that Paul George will be a player to watch for next season.  NOTE: SportsEffectLive.com will be having Townsley on the show this summer. SportsEffectLive.com also helped SPONSOR the Camp for the 2nd Year, and seeing the growth in the camp is a definite positive.


(5) Mud Volleyball Tourney goes down

Some of the players gettin down n dirty

    The Annual MUD VOLLEYBALL Tourney went down last weekend (20 years strong) as over 300 teams battled it out in the biggest volleyball tourney in the Miami Valley. With over 50 sponsors, hundreds of tents, and great food and drinks on display? Definitely was a great time. As long as you dont mind gettin dirty..... SportsEffectLive will DEFINITELY have a team in it next year! Whos ridin?
