Mark Madsen's latest blog entry is outstanding and worth a full read. It may be even better than his career to-date. With career averages of 2.5 points per game and 2.8 rebounds, Madsen is not sticking around on skill alone - I'd guess he's a good locker room guy. Somehow, he's accumulated almost $5 million in career earnings to-date. If his future entries get a little more personal and a little more whimsical, he may be able to follow in the shadow of one Paul Shirley, a former career scrub, now a must-read writer for espn.com (Insider account required, email me if needed). - farfel
