Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh Are Greater Than LeBron James for the Chicago Bulls
Posted: 5th July 2010 by Bob Warja in NBA
If I'm the Bulls, and it becomes a choice of having Dwyane Wade and a star complementary player like Chris Bosh or simply signing LeBron James only, this would be an easy decision.
Give me Wade and Bosh over LeBron any day of the week.
Sure, James has more star power. And yes, he has more talent than anyone in basketball.
But in the NBA, you need more than one star player to ...

Posted: 5th July 2010 by Trevor Barber in NBA
Here is my second article in this series. In my first article, I posted a battle between LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you do and place your opinions here. I know that this topic isn't as heavily argued about compared to LeBron and Kobe, but this is the battle for the second best small forward in the league.
Let's start with Carmelo:

Second-year Portland Trailblazer Patrick Mills dominated while leading his native Australia to a 90-72 victory over the world’s No. 1 ranked team, Argentina, in the final game of their three-match series.

Jeff FingerùIs It Time For Brian Burke To Chop Off A ôDigitö?
Posted: 5th July 2010 by Mark Ritter in NHL
With a little over $2.5 million in cap space available to them and with the Leafs still needing one, maybe two legitimate top six forwards to help round out their lineup, shouldn’t defenseman Jeff Finger be bought out already?For months now numerous on-line writers and sportscasters from coast-to-coast have speculated that, given the Toronto Maple Leafs depth on defense, that Leafs general manager Brian Burke should, and likely would, either ...
Cleveland Browns 2009 Positional Rankings: Inside Linebackers
Posted: 5th July 2010 by Nicholas Galizio in NFL
In this fourth edition of Cleveland’s positional rankings, we’ll take a look at a position that was difficult to gauge in 2009—the inside linebackers.
An early-season injury to Eric Barton, coupled with a mid-season injury to D’Qwell Jackson meant that some players were playing out of position, and some younger players may have seen playing time too early.
This is what typically happens when both of your starters are put on injured ...
2010 MLB All Star Rosters: Selecting Omar Infante Isn’t as Crazy as It Seems
Posted: 5th July 2010 by Brett Kettyle in MLB
The last time the National League won an All-Star game was in 1996.
Back then, the Braves were represented by John Smoltz (who got the win), Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, Mark Wohlers, Fred McGriff, and Chipper Jones.
The Braves will again be represented by a handful of players this year. Jason Heyward, Martin Prado, Tim Hudson, and Brian McCann were all expected (at least somewhat) by fans.
Phillies skipper Charlie Manuel will manage ...
LeBron James' upbringing in the impoverished neighborhoods of Akron, Ohio, is well-documented. And his triumph over adversity is admirable.
But has LeBron, 25, ever really worked in his life?
Before signing on to become the first billionaire athlete, perhaps King James should take a year sabbatical and get out and experience the jobs the hard-working serfs of his kingdom do everyday.
Perhaps LeBron should become…

2010 NBA Free Agent Rumors: Shaquille O’Neal: “The Big Sheriff”?
Posted: 5th July 2010 by Jamaal Foster in NBA
Among the stories that have floated around the NBA since the early dismissal of the Cleveland Cavaliers is the status of future Hall-of-Famer Shaquille O'Neal, and how he has eluded the headlines.
Shaq is arguably the most physically dominating force that the NBA has seen since Wilt Chamberlain. What's better, is the amount of championship medal that he sports.
Though some would say the original basketball "Man of Steel" has shown ...
Mets fans who didn’t know it tonight found out that this year, umpires are jokes.
Plain and simple.
I have not seen a bigger joke my entire life, and hopefully won’t the rest of my life. After tonight, I have to ask, what constitutes a situation where umpires can confer and possibly overturn a call?
Can someone, preferably MLB, explain that to me? Why was there no conference of umpires in Armando Galarraga ...
