Love's shot worse than 46 percent every year and has never cracked the top 30 percent of the league in post offense. And he's not particularly good on defense. There's a reason his team never made the playoffs: he's not a star, he's a poor man's Bosh.

Irving is not a young Wade. Not even close. He hasn't made the playoffs once in four years. Wade was a Finals MVP within that period.

It is dumb to lump Kyrie and Wade together. W/o LeBron, Wade was a Finals MVP. Irving couldn't make the playoffs. He's more similar to a guy like Tyreke Evans than Wade.

I'll always remember that. His last pick-6 cost me a bet. Giving up another pick was bad enough, but he could have prevented the six had he gone for a tackle instead of falling down and laying there for a few seconds for no reason. Waste of a great defensive effort.

Not to mention he was one of the best college QB's we've ever seen. That may not guarantee success, but it's possible and would have been a lot more exciting.

It's not really a city though. It's an exceptionally large suburb.

Agree his best year was his sophomore year. IMO the staff advised him to take fewer hits and that's why his style changed. Let's not get carried away though; he was still legit his last two years.

A top 10 finish for UCF is pretty damn impressive.

Eli nailed it. Everything decision is based on marketing and/or saving money.

I don't recall people complaining about Cutler and Stafford's contracts. I'd take Dalton over either of them in a heartbeat.

Of course one man can make difference. We're talking about each teams supporting casts: Miami's roster w/o LeBron and Cleveland's roster w/o LeBron. Miami's was much better. Wade and Bosh both carrier teams to the playoffs themselves. Cleveland's guys couldn't do it collectively.

Where do you get those numbers?

You can't be serious. Blocking the plate only matters if the runner is close to the plate. If the blocking ends when he's still not close to the plate, it's irrelevant.

Only they didn't get it right, as practically everyone admits.

Probably, but if you're in a high tax bracket now, the odds are you won't be in a higher tax bracket when you retire. If you end up in a higher bracket, good for you; you probably won't need to worry too much about taxes at that point.

Only if your tax bracket in retirement will be higher than your tax bracket now. That would seem unlikely for most people, no?

I've been listening to Dan since his show started years ago, long before he went national, and it only appears that way when you take snippets of what he said instead of listening to his whole point.

LeBatard's critics are the worst. They either (1) don't really listen to LeBatard, or (2) really do prefer hours of talk on some irrelevant news story.

This is absurd. He went to Cleveland for good PR, not because the team is loaded. The team couldn't even make the playoff in the weak east once in the last four years.

You obviously don't listen to LeBatard every day because that is the exact opposite of what he's said.
