Yeah, but thats very much a hopeless endevour at this point

cheapass owner+no salary cap and revenue sharing=no world series.

Sorry.

I asked my dad a couple of months a ho about Game 7 of the world series and asked him what it was like as he made me go to bed early to get up for school in the morning.

his response "I don't ever want to talk about it".

Go Browns I guess.

You know I remeber watching both the drive and the fumble live!!! Great things to watch as a youngunn. lol

I also remember watching the 2007 alcs series right before sweeping the rockies. My dad was pissed off that I rooted for Boston.

Unchainme,

Bro, your Cav's just rolled over on that one. Sucks man... Really sucks. Raely have I ever watched a team just quit like that.

[Little Texan]

The question now is where is LeBron going to end up in the offseason. I have a hard time believing that Cleveland is just going to let their franchise player walk out the door and sign with another team. The experts seem to think that he is going to wind up with the Knicks, but I'm betting that he'll be back with the Cavs next year.

Bulls or Nets will get him. Bank on it. All hinging on whom is able to hire Calipari.

[MAX]

All bets are that he stays in Cleveland. IMO.

[twonabomber]

i think he'll stay, too. just because one of these other teams can afford to bring in LBJ and Wade or whoever, it isn't going to guarantee a title. this year's Cavs team proves it. throw in that huge house he built in Bath Twp or wherever it is...the baby mama is a local...and he likes to model himself after Jordan, and Jordan stayed in Chicago (more or less)...yeah, i think he'll stay.

Brown is done.

[Little Texan]

Theoretically, if he were to sign with a team like the Knicks he would be pretty much a one man show there, and it might take years to get all the right pieces in place to built a playoff caliber team around him in New York, and he already has that in Cleveland. With the right coach and a couple of changes here and there personel-wise, the Cavs are a potential championship caliber team.

[twonabomber]

there is a rumor going around that the Cavs' (or really LeBron's) collapse is due to Delonte West bangin' Gloria James. couple guys at work mentioned it tonight, but i bet it won't hit the papers. maybe some wise-ass will bring it up on sports talk radio or something.

[Bob_R]

Was Gloria James at one time playin' with LeBron's chocolate twinkie?

I dunno about this staying under wraps, as there are currently nearly 1,000 blog articles and columns written about this via a Google search.

Oh shit! I had no idea Gloria James' was LeBron's mom. Sorry about that comment. My bad.

You did like the twinkie comment huh? Surprised you hadn't heard that before?

Remember these? lol

[twonabomber]

as most predicted...Brown, out.

so who's the next coach? we know it's not Doug Collins.

Unfortunately or fortunately, one knew this was going to happen. Anyhoo, saw on sportscenter this morning that they (Cavs) were going after the head coach from Duke??

That is interesting as hell, I mean the John Calipari rumors are still going around, now it's compounded by Coach K? Holy crap. What an fascinating off season this is going to be.

I didn't know you were into the NBA bro?? I'm not really but have been watching a bit more than I have in about a decade.

To be honest, I'm not altogether there as a fan like I am with the NFL. But this whole Lebron/Wade thing has me interested. The catch in this is the money. For it to work, I still think we need Chris Bosh, and we can't afford all 3. Another thing is Riley. Will he fire Spolstra in order to coach James? Come to think of it, with Wade and Lebron running up and down the court, realistically you or I could coach that team.

LMAO!!!

No dude, my hoops days are looong gone. I still play a bit but kinda suuuuck.

[POJO_Risin]

You know...Coach K would win them a title...

I'd work out some sort of deal with Duke...a one year out...Sign coach K to a one-year...10 million dollar deal...and then pay Duke a $1 million dollar scholarship in his name...and borrow him for a year...

Then sign and trade Mo Williams, Antawn Jamison and JJ Hickson for Chris Bosh...

Then...see who wants to sign on for a year to try and win a title...

Can you be the assitant GM to Danny Ferry?

I'm loving this concept.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Please tell me you saw the top of the 9th tonight Poj.....

[POJO_Risin]

Danny Ferry is out as GM. I really don't know what to make of this. Chris Grant, his assistant takes over for him, which makes even less sense. Now, if the Cavs were going to bring in some big names, it WOULD make sense...

Perhaps Pat Riley? It would have to be someone that would force Gilbert to hardball the Ferry contract negotiations to get him out, or to piss off Ferry so that he quits quickly.

What I have to believe is that the Cavs are doing this with LeBron's okay, or with prior knowledge to LeBron wanting Ferry out. One player with thatmuch power is nothing but trouble.

Now, if Chris Jent gets the head job, then you know LeBron is pulling the strings, and wants all the power. If Riley comes in, or someone like him, then the Cavs are trying to entice him.

[POJO_Risin]

Yo Va...it was a flat out shit call...but I do respect the way the umpire handled it...and the way the Tigers and Tigers fans handled it...both surprises. I do like that Selig comes under fire again.

Riley ain't leaving Miami, unless Dwayne Wade completely and utterly spurs the heat and goes "Fuck you guys, going to the knicks", which I don't see happening, as I believe Wade loves the warm weather.

Maybe Larry Brown wants to do one last stop somewhere?

Yup, he knew he fucked up right away....

Glad they didn't reverse the call though, they would have opened up a HUGE can of worms if he did...

Riley recently said he'd consider returning to coach the Heat (he's the current team president) if a free agent requested it. That certainly must have made Erik Spoelstra (the current coach) feel real safe about his job.

I couldn't believe how quickly this hit the internet. It was up at Youtube by early afternoon, yesterday.

[Unchainme]

My guesses

Larry Brown

Byron Scott

Jeff Van Gundy

or

Tom Izzo.

[POJO_Risin]

I don't like any of those names. Izzo intrigues me, but I'm never sure about a college guy, even as good as Izzo. K is the exception because of his past work with team USA. No way to Larry Brown...it could work...but he could end up alienating the entire team. Byron Scott...maybe...but how different is Scott from Mike Brown? Jeff Van Gundy...to me...is the most overrated coach in waiting in the history of the NBA...just another Riley-hack...

I don't see a fit...to be honest. If you fire Brown...IMO...you have to have a clear choice in mind. If they fired the coach...and let the GM go without a clear plan in place...LeBron would be stupid to stay.

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah VA...i'm pretty old school about the play. As obvious a call as it was...it was a bang-bang play when it was made. I thought he was out from the start...but I could see him making that call as well. I don't like the idea of instant replay myself. One of the parts to baseball that make it unique is how "human" a game it is. Adding replay to calls like that continue the trend that makes baseball a joke...

[POJO_Risin]

Yup, he knew he fucked up right away....

Glad they didn't reverse the call though, they would have opened up a HUGE can of worms if he did...

You watch Selig open up the can...he's such a fucking douche...

[Romeo Delight]

You know...Coach K would win them a title...


Then sign and trade Mo Williams, Antawn Jamison and JJ Hickson for Chris Bosh...

..

Do you really want Bosh? It was his best all-round year but he is SOFT...

Not to mention he will sulk with fewer touches.

His character is wanting

[Unchainme]

Selig is an assclown, and should be sent to prison for what he's done to baseball.

I don't believe my tribe will ever win a world series the way he has baseball setup with owners like Steinbrenner able to buy entire rosters off. Not to mention letting the all-star game end in a tie, allowing the marlins a team with a bullshit fanbase to keep a franchise, and win two world series, and the whole steroid deal puts him over the top, he makes Gary Bettman, look like Paul Taglibue

First things I'd do as a commissioner

-Institute a replay system: fuck the human element, was baseball truly human when people were getting shot up with goof juice?, You have the god-damned cameras availble for every game, if a call is truly that close, change it

-Move the Marlins to Charlotte: The Carolinas are a baseball area, Florida is not a pro sports state, with the exception of the 'phins and Bucs, every other team should leave to go to more of a deserving city. (Florida Panthers-->Cleveland, Orlando Magic--> Kansas City)

-Have revenue sharing: It's the circle of life Simba, a team like the Royals doesn't have enough money to pay it's star players, they get traded/taken away in free agency, fans go "fuck it" and don't show up to games, You allow the Yankees, Red Sox and everyone else to share profits,

-Salary cap, finally again, Yankees won't be abke buy every player under the sun, make it something like the NBA has where you can go over, but you have to pay a hefty luxary tax

-Bird rules, if you have a player you really like, you can sign him to the max possible, and no one else can sign him for more.

[POJO_Risin]

The Cavs have reportedly offered their head coaching position to Tom Izzo.

I don't know how I feel about Izzo as a coach in the NBA. I suppose, if there's a coach outside of Coach K who could succeed, it would be Izzo...but I don't know how his style translates...

I do think it would be a positive with regards to LeBron...who was recruited by Izzo.

He does bring championship pinache to the equation, but I'm not sure you go out and get a college guy...
