Ballin' is a Habit

SONNY VACCARO PROFILED IN USA TODAY: Interesting piece in USA Today on the former shoe company mogul and the "godfather of basketball". Two things I took out of this: Paul Hewitt's take on Vaccaro and paying amateur athletes (read to the end) is an interesting view point I never really thought about; and I think it is so fitting that Tony Soprano James Gandolfini will be playing the godfather of hoops. He probably needs to drop about 50 lbs, though.
