Grantland Network:The Jalen Rose Show (Podcast)

By David Jacoby on May 17, 2012 6:28 PM ETThis one is more of a podcastito. Jalen had a spare 15 minutes between taping ESPN studio shows to give the people what they want. We talked about the Lakers, how people make too much of who takes the last shot in games, retiring the word “swagger,” and — most important — the rumors that Rihanna is dating none other than the New York Knicks’ J.R. Smith. Oh yeah, Jalen also went off about something that made him want to stick both his hands down his throat and “just vomit.” I apologize in advance for the 30 seconds of laughter that followed that statement — not very professional on my part, huh?Listen to Thursday’s podcast here.

The Oakland Press: Jalen Rose juggles sports, education — and thinks of being Detroit Mayor

Wednesday, January 25, 2012By CAROL HOPKINScarol.hopkins@oakpress.com; Twitter: @waterfordreport Jalen Rose is no slouch. Last Saturday he was in California calling the Long Beach State-Santa Barbara college basketball game for ESPN. He watched Sunday’s big NFL conference games and then caught a redeye flight back to Detroit, arriving in town at 6 a.m. Monday. The day was packed with meetings at his fledgling Jalen Rose Leadership Academy, a Detroit charter high school that provides free tuition to students. And now, following in the footsteps of one of his mentors, Dave Bing, he is considering a new gig. “Maybe, hopefully, fingers crossed, ‘Mayor of Detroit’ might be a title I carry one day,” Rose, 38, said Tuesday. A photo of Bing at the academy’s ribbon-cutting sits on a shelf in Rose’s office. “I’ve known Jalen since birth,” said Bing, who played for the Detroit Pistons with Rose’s father, Jimmy Walker. “Not only
