Miami Heat

Tom Terrific and Eli may have taken the week off, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the sports world did.  What did we learn this week?
-Brandon Marshall dominated the Pro Bowl, hauling in six balls for 176 yards, and four scores as the AFC thumped the NFC 59-41.  Credit Marshall for showing up.  I [...]

Hopefully all the Black Friday whack jobs are either done with their Christmas shopping or behind bars… so it’s safe for me to start my trips to the mall.  Here is what I hope to get for Christmas this year!
-I want to see Alabama and LSU to play the most BORING game in the history [...]

Since ESPN.com forgot to invite me to participate in their “5-on-5” roundtable discussion revolving around Lebron James, I decided to answer the questions on our website instead.
1.  One year later, was Miami Lebron’s best option?
-Absolutely not.  Lebron James went from one of the most beloved sports figures in history to one of the most hated, [...]

Now that the dust has settled, and Charles Barkley is done telling everyone “I told you so” – and Chris Bosh has quit crying - the Miami Heat and their (bandwagon) fans need to look to the future.  However, the future is not going to be as kind as this year was. 
Outside the state of Ohio, [...]

Dear Traitor, 
You said it yourself…  Karma is a bitch.
The championship ring that you missed out on this season would have been as meaningless and as hollow as the soul that you sold on July 8, 2010 to achieve it.
You are no champion, and you proved it again this year.
A champion is the kind of person [...]

I’ve always hated the phrase “He plays the game the way it is supposed to be played”.  I have always thought it was silly.  It made no sense to me.  How else would “he” play? 
Watching this year’s NBA Finals, I now understand that phrase and it has never been more clear to me that Dirk [...]

Remember the first time you had sex?
It was scary, clumsily performed, and it was a little embarrassing. Not unlike how Cavs fans felt following last year’s Game 5 debacle against Boston in the conference semi-finals. And, like your aforementioned virgin ass, the 2nd time it happened was MUCH better! 
Cavs fans, and decent human beings the [...]

Well, it’s a done deal.
The Heat will win the NBA Championship this year. The first damn year the Big 2 and a Half were assembled. All I hear in my head is LeBron, with a mic, counting.
“Not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven…”
It echoes in my head, replaying like an infinite loop. [...]

It took some balls for Scottie Pippen to come out and say what he said. Stupid. But it took balls.
The comparison of Michael Jordan and LeBron James is inevitable, but to hear it come from the mouth of Scottie Pippen just flat out felt wrong.

“Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to ever play [...]

As a person who spends most of his day in the car, I listen to more sports talk radio than any man probably should.  Here in Cleveland, the local voices have focused much of their NBA Playoff attention on Lebron James and the Miami Heat, and rightfully so.  That is the story, especially here in [...]

Having attended the bottle throwing game against Jacksonville in Cleveland, I know a thing or two about showing class at a sporting event. But I mean, s**t, who really gives a piss about the refs anyway?
Heat fans, however, have got it all wrong when it comes to taunting. You don’t pick on a legend.
Before the post [...]

They’ve only lost one game and LeBron is already making excuses.
“I’m taking everything you can get from 7-Eleven,” James said. “I’ve been sick since we got here.”
This is when he begins to fold. Unless Dwyane Wade starts playing like its 2006 and Derrick Rose lays an egg, LeBron’s cold will be the “reason” he quit [...]
