He could have given him free season tickets for life.  That would have been a true punishment.

I don’t condone violence, especially over a sport like golf which should be hilariously enjoyed with a 6 pack and a group of drunk friends. As I tell my son these days, if you open your mouth and embarrass someone in public, probably in front of friends and maybe family, anything can happen.  There is no social norm…

Obviously he had no idea Brown would be made available when they traded Cooper. That doesn’t change that, in the end, he flipped a lesser WR for a 1st and got a superior receiver for less. If Cooper gets a longer deal for similar money, you can say Gruden made a series of good trades. By accident or not.

But...isn’t that exactly what he did?

“The fact of an indictment is not unexpected. We knew that there is no way they would expose their evidence to a public airing and subject their witnesses to cross-examination.”

No one “tricked” Lebron to go to the Lakers. He knew they were a bunch of trash and probably knew winning another title was highly unlikely. See, he’s in the movie business now, and that’s what he cares about.  Which is fine.  It’s more like he tricked the Lakers than vice versa.  They certainly did not think they…

Well, he doesn’t eat up that much of the salary cap. The Lakers will have space for two max free agents, or a high salary player in trade, next year. He isn’t a detriment financially to improving the team. His fourth year is an option year, which is actually a good deal for the Lakers, considering a lot superstars…

Of course it is.  Coming from the mouth of a person born with the physical gifts to make him a basketball God could be somewhat off-putting

It is 100% false. The player has choices after his 3rd year: He can: accept the massive extension his team finally has the right to offer, which is a year more than any other team can offer. Or: He can decline the contract and qualifying offer, becoming a restricted free agent after year 4. Or: He can accept the…

I clicked on it, and a read the whole thing.  Half way through, I said to myself "golly, this sure is a really, really long article to read about someone I don't give two shits about! Laws yes!"  I am now resting comfortably in my bed, questioning my entire existance

Didn't we all know that he didn't really go to the Lakers, but instead went to LA?  He knew that Philly or even a remodeled Cleveland would have a way better chance at the finals than a group of young players that need 3 more years of seasoning before you could possibly know if they were any good?  He went to LA…

Other players have accepted the qualifying offer.  Nerlens Noel did.  He bet on himself, and he got totally screwed.  Slightly different situation and player talent level, of course, but he left 70 million on the table and now is on a two year deal wit OKC for about 4 million.  Chances are he will never make 70…

NFL and NBA offseasons are more riveting because they are faster; both leagues limit spending (caps) so there is always limited resources for a few elite players.  MLB, with no cap, players can just sit around for MONTHS before even considering an offer, because teams don’t have that same urgency.  In other words: …

100% true.  They weren't able to draft or trade for help to make him want to stay.  However, even if they had, I think it's fair to wonder if the same exact scenerio would have happened;  him and LeBron still share an agent, the Lakers still would have wanted him and had the young players to try and get him.  Kawhi…

Yep, it is.  But this is the NBA, where you are either a title contender, young team on the rise, or the Pistons.  

How dare the pelicans not give the Lakers what they want, then they have the audacity to try and preserve the one trade piece that may help rebuild the franchise in the off-season!  It's almost like they are trying to maximize thier return on the superstar that, with 16 months left on his contract, very publicly…

Isn’t this the guy that locked some kid in an outhouse?  I appreciate looking at the car crash and all, but at what point don’t we all just say “that sucks” and drive by it?

Guess the presence of a much more popular franchise that resides in the city and plays the same sport can be safely ignored for the purposes of this article.

Is there a reason that grown man is dressed that way?

Anyone remember Police Quest?  Old DOS game run on a 286?  Hours spent.
