Sports News – NBA news: Andrew Bynum says Lakers have \u201ctrust issues\u201d; Pay Riley wins Executive of the Year<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pay Riley wins Executive of the Year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After a second straight playoff home loss to the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers may be coming apart at the seams. Center Andrew Bynum openly expressed his concern after Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s deeply rooted at this point,\u201d Bynum said. \u201cIt\u2019s obvious we have trust issues. Unless we come out and discuss it, then nothing it going to really change.\u201d He added that the Lakers will \u201cgo home\u201d unless they have a good practice session Thursday.<\/p>\n

Miami Heat president Pat Riley is the NBA\u2019s 2010-11 Executive of the Year. It\u2019s hardly a surprise after he lured both LeBron James and Chris Bosh while also retaining Dwyane Wade\u2019s services and convincing Mike Miller and Zydrunas Ilgauskas to join the Heat for less money.<\/p>\n

NFL news: Art Schlichter pleads not guilty to theft charges<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former NFL quarterback Art Schlichter has found himself in hot water with the law many a time since his career ended. He admits to committing at least 20 felonies and has been held in 44 different prisons across the Midwest for gambling-related crimes.<\/p>\n

His latest alleged scheme: a sports ticket scam that cleaned a 68-year-old widow out for more than $1 million. On Wednesday, Schlichter pleaded not guilty to 13 different indictments in the theft case.<\/p>\n

MLB news: Phil Hughes out up to eight weeks; Brian Sabean refutes Jose Reyes rumors; Rays\u2019 and Jays\u2019 managers ejected<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phil Hughes may not have thoracic outlet syndrome in his dead arm after all, but he still has an unexplained and drastic loss of velocity in his pitches. The Yankees righthander has been described rest and conditioning and is expected to miss another six to eight weeks. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

San Francisco Giants general manager strongly denied rumors that he was trying to acquired Jose Reyes from the New York Mets yesterday. \u201cHonestly, I haven\u2019t seen or talked to [Mets general manager]<\/p>\n

Sandy Alderson since January… I haven\u2019t talked to anybody from the Mets, so I have no idea where the hell it came from.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo typical of today\u2019s world, I guess we\u2019re playing in New York and our shortstop [Miguel Tejada] isn\u2019t playing too well and [Reyes] is a free-agent-to-be,\u201d Sabean added. \u201cIt\u2019s connect your dots, so there\u2019s nothing to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Wednesday\u2019s Rays-Jays game, both team\u2019s managers were ejected. Toronto\u2019s John Farrell got the hook during a seventh-inning pitching change and Tampa\u2019s Joe Maddon was ejected after arguing a missed tag on an inning-ending double play.<\/p>\n

NHL news: Canadian businessman offers $250 million-plus for Dallas Stars<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canadian billionaire Tom Gagldardi wants to buy the Dallas Stars and he isn\u2019t playing around. Reportedly, he\u2019s offered more than $250 million for the team. He now has a 30-day exclusive window to negotiate with the team. The Stars\u2019 future has been in doubt since owner Tom Hicks defaulted on loans worth more than $500 million in March 2009.<\/p>\n

Commissioner Gary Bettman insists that the Stars franchise will remain in Dallas no matter who buys it.<\/p>\n
