LeBron Visits the King
Larry King will host LeBron James on his show Friday night. The featured questions will surely be about where King James is leaning towards ending up for the 2010-11 season.
[picappgallerysingle id="8787164"]
LeBron has been more of a media junky than Brett Favre this year. Will he or won’t he has been the topic of every Cleveland newspaper for months. They didn’t even care about the playoffs this year. How sad is that?!
[picappgallerysingle id="8765058"]
My opinion, James better stay with the Cavs. He will become the most hated player in sports history. Players that demand trades or create this drama don’t end up well liked.
[picappgallerysingle id="6246703"]
Just ask the Denver Broncos how much they like how Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall treated them. Red Sox fans weren’t too big of Manny fans after his demands. The Eagles and Terrell Owens…enough said.
[picappgallerysingle id="8767581"]
LeBron is loved in Cleveland without the ring. He needs to stay or he will forever be remembered as the guy who left the Cavs and the city in the dust. I mean, they even forgave him for the dreaded Yankees hat at the Indians game stunt. STRIKE ONE!
Barring any unbelievable collapse, Ubaldo Jimenez will win the Cy Young. With a no hitter under his belt, a 10-1 record, and an ERA under one, he has it locked up.
[picappgallerysingle id="8968082"]
Jimenez is truly gifted. But this talent has sort of come out left field. He was quite good last year. 15 wins and an ERA just under 3.50. Before that his ERA was just under 4.00 in 2008 and he was 12-12. However, how do you get here from there?
[picappgallerysingle id="8968080"]
Whatever the 26 year-old is doing it is working. He is sensational. Ubaldo is giving us a reason to watch the Rockies who are playing in a very competitive NL West.
I still think that the Dodgers will win that one with the Giants taking the Wild Card. But hey, the Padres are great too and if Jimenez can try and keep his club in it, who knows? well, I do. It’ll be L.A. and San Fran. STRIKE TWO!
I took some time to wait and release my feelings on the 2014 cold bowl. To be honest, who cares?
[picappgallerysingle id="8912724"]
This game is played in all kinds of climates during the year. The Chargers never see a spec of bad weather in San Diego. Now, if they go to their division rival in Denver late in the year, they could be bombarded with snow.
[picappgallerysingle id="8912528"]
Every team should be prepared for this kind of weather so it really shouldn’t matter. Football analysts are going crazy and I heard Mike and Mike in the morning go nuts over this too. But come on guys, it’s football.

The Colts-Bears Super Bowl was plyed in pouring down rain. So what? It’s the game we love to watch. I don’t prefer rain over snow or clear skies over cloudy scary-looking skies. We are being ridiculous here. The fact is the East got this Super Bowl and good for them. I hope they start putting these games all over the U.S.
Maybe Soldier Field could get one? STRIKE THREE AND I’M OUT!
The Magician
Dwight Howard was ruthless. He did not stop until every Hawk went down in just four games.
[picappgallerysingle id="8756687"]
Not that Howard was dominant in game four but he didn’t need to be. Vince Carter stole the show with 22. But did you see the series. It was gross. Now, if the Celtics and Cavs go to seven games the MAgic should come in and knock down the door. Weeks ago we were anointing LeBron for being the two time MVP and probably one time NBA Champion. Now, there’s work to be done. And who is going to stop number 12?
[picappgallerysingle id="8723027"]
Howard shot nearly 85 percent from the field. He was a rebounding magician and was blocking shots left and right. It is no wonder they call him superman. But will the superman of old comedown on Dwight? Will Shaq show up and stop him? I’ll be waiting to see. Of course, Cleveland has to win first. STRIKE ONE!
Let’s talk about something fun. How bad are the Baltimore Orioles? I know. They’re awfully terribly the worst team in the AL East every year.
[picappgallerysingle id="8684883"]
Right now they stand at 9-23. Yuck. Their best pitcher is Kevin Millwood who is 76 years old. They have a bunch of guys who have had good years in 04 or 07 but were never consistent. OR, they have guys who are a little past their prime. Tejada and Garrett Atkins are prime examples. There’s adam Jones and their new rookie catcher but that’s about it. Can you name anyone in their bullpen? Cla Meredith the only mentionable.
[picappgallerysingle id="8684837"]
In 1997, the Orioles won 98 games but that’s the last time they won at least 80 games. In 2007, they finished second to last in the East which was the last time they didn’t finish last. In 2004, they finished third which was great! BUT that was the best since 1997 which brought us back to the last time they won 80 plus games.
[picappgallerysingle id="8525017"]
In general, it hurts to be a fan in orange. STRIKE TWO!
Tiger Woods is losing a swing coach. It’s kind of sad really. Nothing goes right for the 14-time Major-winning champ.
[picappgallerysingle id="4988474"]
Hank Haney has been around for a long time but he said in a short note he’s done. It is still rather unclear who made the final decision but Haney came out first. Woods has been in the media 100 percent of the time and this is just another setback. Tiger, can you just get this all together please? STRIKE THREE AND I’M OUT
Cleveland LeBrons, Chitown grumbles, The McDaniels Years
Wow. A 40 point, eight rebound, eight assist effort for James against the Bulls. It was fun to watch if you missed it.
[picappgallerysingle id="8576749"]
A three in Noah’s eye, Kirk Hinrich’s eye, and a game to remember. You can stick a fork in the Bulls because they’re done. LeBron was scorching hot. Every shot he took was on and he’s proving that he wants that hardware (MVP and NBA title) more than anyone else.
[picappgallerysingle id="8576869"]
He’s slashing through the lane, drilling free throws, and hitting the big jumpers. I tell you what, this NBA playoff might be over before it began. STRIKE ONE! (more…)
Laker Ball, Shannahan’s Skins, OK State
[picappgallerysingle id="8137339"]Does anyone think it won’t be Lakers and Cavs at end of the NBA season? The Lakers had an impressive victory (they fell behind in the third by 11). This time, it wasn’t at the hands of # 24. Kobe’s 12 assists were nice and he had 14 points too but this one was a team win. Lamar Odom chipped in 20 and 12 rebounds and the defensive machine Ron Artest had six steals to help the Lakers stay atop the West. This team is unstoppable. I don’t see any challengers. You might here a few analysts say that the Nuggets or Spurs could contend for the West. Really? I can’t wait for Kobe vs LeBron. STRIKE ONE! (more…)
SB Surprise, The Classic RFer, LeBron for 47
Well, who called it? Saints 31 Colts 17. I know I didn’t. What a fantastic three-quarters by the Saints. They feel down early (against Peyton, that’s bad). And after a fourth and goal miss I thought this game was O-V-E-R. But after a completely dominated second quarter and the onside kickoff to lead the second half!? I knew who everyone was routing for at the end. Personally, I’m happy for NO and Mr. Brees. It couldn’t have been capped off any more awkwardly though. A Peyton Manning pick followed by a Reggie Wayne dropped fourth down pass. Huh? STRIKE ONE! (more…)
