When considering the situation in which Chad Henne has found himself with the Dolphins, it's difficult not to be reminded of Atlas; the Titan of Greek and Roman Mythology upon whose shoulders rested the weight of the entire world.

Posted: 10th July 2010 by Brian DiTullio in NFL
The past is the past, you can't do anything to change it.
In the grand scheme of things, the whole LeBron James issue doesn't mean that much to people who don't follow basketball in Cleveland other than in the sense "The Decision" gets put up on the same shelf as "The Drive," "The Fumble," and "The Shot," among others.
Cleveland Browns fans are lucky in the sense their teams have been blessed ...

Posted: 10th July 2010 by JW Nix in NFL
After clearing the vomit from my mouth after the sociopathic narcissistic "press conference" ESPN held to promote LeBron James, I felt it important to throw the city of Cleveland some love. Not only because it is tiresome watching ESPN attempt to shove their anointed heroes down our throats in hope of cashing in on faux reverence, but because Cavalier fans need only look back to 1980 and owner Ted Stepien to ...
