Wrong Again Jemele Hill... Wrong Again
Jemele Hill is on ESPN's Page 2 talking about Plaxico Burress today and once again, she is driving me insane. She makes some decent points about how the media is letting Burress' allegedly complicit teammate off the hook, but then she saves some criticism for New York City Mayor Bloomberg and she falls off the rails.
(Jemele's quote)I'm not saying Burress deserves...

Kobe Coming to Cleveland?
Kobe Bryant has an opt-out clause in his contract after this season. Kobe Bryant has already seen all of what Los Angeles has to offer. He has tried to be the cornerstone of the franchise and he hasn't been able to get over the top since Shaq left. Now, after playing in the Olympics with LeBron James, Kobe probably thinks he can improve his career and legacy by moving to Cleveland...

The Olympics are Ripe With Condoms... Really
I wouldn't have guessed that this was the case, but apparently they supplied, AND RAN OUT OF, condoms during the previous Olympic games in Sydney. How many did they supply, you ask? Try 70,000.
"There are many young, strong, single people in the athletes' village and, like everywhere, some will fall in love or other things, so we need to make condoms available...

I Wanted Ron Artest and I am Dumb Sometimes
Since last season, I have always suggested that the Cavs would do well to acquire the services of Ron Artest. My thoughts on the subject were that he plays some of the toughest defense in the NBA this side of Bruce Bowen, and he has the ability to score and rebound better than probably anyone else on the Cleveland roster that doesn't have the first name of LeBron. My problem...

Cleveland Gearing Up For LeBron's Contract Year Too
While the national media continues to focus on the fact that Cleveland is undoubtedly going to lose LeBron James, we here in Cleveland continue to think otherwise. Maybe it is delusion. Maybe it is desperation. I don't know for sure. The fact is that nobody really knows for sure. And now, I have a new take on the whole LeBron situation. I haven't read anyone else who...

Pat Forde is a Hack Volume II
I don't know how many volumes we will have to run out here before someone gets their head out of their turd-cutter and cuts this turd from the roster of writers at ESPN. Forde lambasted Ohio State after losing their second straight National Championship game in a ridiculous, taunting manner. I couldn't figure out why the acidity was so necessary then. And now, I can't...

Mike Brown Has Maxed Out
Mike Brown can't be trusted with LeBron James' last two guaranteed seasons in Cleveland. He is a one-dimensional coach who has maxed out on his potential. No matter what happens in the Boston series, the experiment is over and the Cavs need to move in a different direction.

In Defense of the NBA Suspending Darius Songaila
The reason that I feel like writing about this at all is that as the media cycle has come around on this Cavs vs. Wizards first-round matchup, and the prevailing opinion that Darius Songaila should not have been suspended for game 6 has now become an unarguable fact in the media. I heard Steve Czaban talk about it this morning on Fox Sports Radio. I heard commentators talk about...

Dan Gilbert Votes in Favor of a Sonics Move
Dan Gilbert misjudges the city that buys tickets and watches his team on television. Dan Gilbert should at least try to explain why he would vote in favor of having the Sonics ripped out from under the fanbase in Seattle. When a bunch of Browns fans pay his bills, he should probably vote based on their sentiment.

DeShawn Stevenson better enjoy his time in the papers, because it won't last long. DeShawn Stevenson can't even enter into a conversation, but it makes a lot of sense that Stevenson would be jealous of The King.

Ricky Davis Is Bad for Your Team
Ricky Davis would appear to be a good player in the NBA. He is capable of putting up between 15 and 20 points per game. He can add 3 to 5 rebounds per game. He can jump right out of the gym to deliver thunderous dunks and alley-oops. He is an all-around athletic player who seemingly would be a good addition to any team. Seemingly.

Cleveland Fans for Sonics Fans
I am writing this as a result of the apparent move by the new owner of the Seattle Supersonics to hijack that team and move it to Oklahoma City. I am amazed that I don't hear more outrage from Cleveland fans regarding this situation. I know we are all very happy here right now in the NBA with LeBron James and the blockbuster deal that Danny Ferry just pulled off to rid this town...

Hank Steinbrenner = Mr. McMahon
Hank Steinbrenner is turning into Mr. McMahon from the WWE. You see when Vince McMahon decides he has to play a "heel*" in the WWE, he goes by the name Mr. McMahon. When he is playing a good guy, he plays Vince.
Well Hank Steinbrenner is slowly turning heel on the nation. He is walking into the arena somewhere in the midwest and he is calling everyone fat, lazy and stupid...

Cavs Get Ripped (Off) In Milwaukee
Michael Redd nailed a long three-point shot to skip overtime last night in Milwaukee versus the Cavaliers. Normally, I wouldn't be upset about a Cavaliers loss like that, because Michael Redd is just that good to be able to pull out a huge win on a last second shot. But today, I am upset about the game because Michael Redd's shot isn't the story for me. The story comes...

LeBron Goes Back to Back Triple Doubles
Not since Magic Johnson (yeah the guy who owns the movie theaters) did it in the 1987-88 NBA season, has anyone had two sets of back-to-back triple double nights in an NBA season. LeBron finished with 31 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists last night against the Indiana Pacers in a victory. On top of that, it was a road game after a home game in back-to-back nights of basketball...

Video Jamario Moon or is it Sean Williams Flips the Bird After the Rookie Sophomore Game
Jamario Moon, or is it Sean Williams might have wanted to wait until he got to the locker room for this special hand signal he had for someone in the handshake line. I don't think he was really upset or anything, and I am assuming he was just goofing around with someone, but he landed in the unfortunate position of throwing his middle finger almost directly into a camera on the court...
