In Cal Ripken's last All Star game, he hit a homer off what people considered to be a pretty easy pitch. I think this sort of thing is done all the time, but you're not supposed to talk about it publicly, I'm guessing.

You're the one who started the insults by calling Cleveland fans pathetic. You must be new to the internet, if you don't want to be insulted, then don't start throwing out insults.

I think the Bulls will make a hard push for him. During the Wiz-Bulls playoff series, the announcers always mentioned that Chicago had no reliable threat on offense.

Didn't he take less money awhile back in order for the team to sign better players?

Only if it's a 45 year old married soccer mom.

Kobe is kinda a like Jordan and doesn't like to fuck around on the basketball court. Shaq liked to just play himself into shape during the season, unless he was pissed off about something, like after he got traded to the Heat.

I just remember reading how Howard's "I'm just a big kid" act got really old, really fast with the press.

I saw the ending to the Houston-Portland series on Friday. Maybe he should have taken Nash up on that offer.

Wasn't following the Lakers that much and I'm not a fan of Howard, but why does everyone consider his time with the Lakers to be bad. I think he led the league in rebounds and FG percentage, that shows some sign of effort on his part.

Nene got suspended for grabbing a guy around the head.

He has every right to say what he wants, but that doesn't mean he can't face repercussions from any non-government entity.

Fox News just mentioned it and they would have been the most likely news agency to not have reported it.

They could try that, but a cost-benefit analysis might reveal it wouldn't be worth it if Sterling tries to fight the league in court. He's around 81 years old. The league might feel it would be simpler and cheaper to wait for him to die than go for a protracted legal battle.

Your analogy doesn't work. He's still selling the product the company wants. He's also employing blacks & latinos and he isn't stopping them from attending his games if they buy a ticket (and didn't get invited there by his girlfriend). He's an asshole, but I don't think the league has a good reason to take the team…

I think they're storied because they play in New York, not much else is relevant about them. None of the three on that panel or Jemele Hill were even ALIVE the last time the Knicks won the title. The Washington Wizards have not only won a championship more recently than the Knicks, they have more playoff appearances…

She admitted that she "lost her balance" a few times during the dance. That, combined with everything you mentioned above, sure sounds like she was under the influence of something.

Nah, the glove was just for clean up.

I assume he was booked then bonded out. He was just being uncooperative with law enforcement. He said some dumb stuff, but nothing worth getting sent to Gitmo without a trial.

I thought that was a given.

Due process doesn't apply in the NFL. Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for 4 games in 2010 and he was never charged with a crime.
