I seriously wonder why Wade doesn't elect to make a trip to the same German doctors doing the platelet-rich therapy on Kobe. It's not like he has anything to lose (it's not a surgical procedure, anyway) and lots to gain by doing so if it works.

Well, that hypothetical team can blitz through the Eastern Conference bracket, at least. This is assuming Allen and Miller also gravitate to wherever LeBron goes, as I think they have hinted (or I could just be hearing things), adding premiere shooting to whatever team James chooses.

I don't think it's anything that Blatt knows, but rather a simpler reason that if you can get the best player in the league, you try to do so.

If LBJ decides to elsewhere than Cleveland and the fans bash him over it, that's their fault for talking themselves into a hometown return when James himself hasn't given any hint at all of where he's leaning towards since free agency started.

Miller and Allen following James wherever he goes (well, Miller can't go back to MIA yet because amnesty) is a tremendous boon to whichever team James decides to go to. You essentially get discount shooters of great quality in addition to the best player in the league right now.

Solid points all around. I think part of the problem, too, is that FAs don't want to commit to MIA when LBJ isn't a sure signee, while at the same time, LBJ won't sign unless he sees help come in.

Rather, your team's players know a thing or two about championships.

I'm a Jeter fan, but this is brilliant. +1

Can I claim the bounty for Manziel circumcising a Filipino baby?

I'm not alluding to ESPN showing sports like eating competitions often, but more of ESPN not exactly having the best of moral compasses at times when making decisions on which shows to air.

You have a mighty generous view of ESPN if you think they're above showing this stuff.

I can see we have differing viewpoints on the morality of Bonds' PED use (I'm of the persuasion that a majority in MLB were on it when Bonds was, so it's more of a wash that a distinct advantage Bonds had for himself), but yeah, Bonds is definitely a guy I wouldn't want to be friends with - that we can agree on.

Where's the hate and vitriol towards restaurant owners who keep wages down? As far as I can tell, they're the reason why service crews are increasingly reliant on tips to get by.

Because Bonds holds the record even though in people's hearts and minds Aaron is the Home Run King (capitalization intended to signify term of endearment by fans towards Aaron).

Proof?

While I agree that Dana's personality harms the UFC moving forward, I don't think it's the cussing that's the problem, but the way that he's easily-miffed by any criticism levied on his league. The fact that media credentials are revoked at the first hint of criticism speaks as much. The big sports leagues today took…

It even hurts worse when you pay $60 and you don't even get to see good fights.

+ however many points you want.
