Amare Stoudamire was just on the Dan Patrick show, sans Dan Patrick of course, and is apparently attending summer school at Arizona St. University in the quest for a History degree. What courses is he taking? Human Geography and Palates of course. So the typical schedule for a upper tier basketball player in college. What is Human Geography, is that like looking at a map and saying Tokyo is located in Japan. I think he should get a website and install Google Analytics, everyday I learn a new country somewhere on the globe that I've never heard of before. Lucky for him he is now two weeks through the class and it gets out just before camp starts. I never quite got the athletes going back to school thing. College is there for you to pursue your career and livelihood, and get drunk all the time. So if you're a professional athlete and a multimillionaire you don't need to pursue a career and well you don't need to buy nattie light. Oh ya I forgot the 20 year old hot blonds that go to ASU, now it all makes sense.
For his sake lets hope that the Suns don't unintelligently deal him to the T-Wolves or the Hawks this summer so he would be forced to prematurely pull out of his Palates class. That would be a shame.

I'm not killing him for taking classes, if that's a perogative of his go ahead all the better.
My point is from a post career standpoint, a history degree is a waste of time.
