August 24, 2012 – Dan Favale The Sacramento Kings are a mess. No seriously, they are. Sacramento’s infamous owners—the Maloof brothers—have once again dragged what’s left of the organization’s good name through mud, with the latest rumblings as to their potential relocation. The place that’s drawing the most buzz? Virginia Beach. Again I’m serious, or [...]
