Free Agency

  May 14, 2011 – Allen Moll With this year’s Eastern Conference Finals set to be an all out slugfest between the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat, many Bulls fans are apparently still bitter over Lebron James’ “Decision” to “Take his talents to South Beach” rather than play alongside Derrick Rose in Chi-Town for the [...]

December 17, 2010 – Kevin Burke A few years ago, Celtics coach Doc Rivers was almost fired because he wasn’t generating enough wins for the team. He was spared his job and was brought back. That summer General Manger, Danny Ainge was able to attain Ray Allen and then Kevin Garnett a few weeks later. [...]

December 8, 2010 – Alex Rosencutter The NBA free agency period of this past summer turned out to be hotter than the actual weather itself. It definitely had me glued to the television awaiting any news on my beloved Heat like an old woman watching her favorite afternoon soaps. The Heat had the potential to [...]

October 21, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol I understand there are a lot of Cleveland or New York fans that were dissapointed they didn’t land LeBron in free agency this summer, but c’mon. Do we really need to send the man racist tweets? That is just ridiculous. Heckling at games is one thing, but let [...]

October 15, 2010 – Kevin Burke Sorry to beat this whole LeBron thing to death, but it just took an interesting turn.

September 20, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Let me preface the Gilbert comments by saying that if Lebron and the Heat do go on to win multiple titles he will probably still not regret his letter to Cavs fans. However if the Cavaliers go on to another 5 years with limited success he will certainly [...]

September 14, 2010 – Dr. J-Water How do you measure an athlete’s reputation with fans? Pretty much every basketball blog in the entire blogsphere has either posted, polled, or asked the question: “Has your opinion of Lebron James changed since his ESPN special on ‘The Decision’?”. But still that all seems a bit anecdotal and [...]

September 13, 2010 – Kevin Burke Back for it’s 3rd season, the award-winning Gatorade REPLAY stages re-matches of classic games between some the nation’s best high school sports teams and gives former teammates the chance to prove once you’re an athlete, you’re always an athlete. This year, it reunited two South Side Chicago high school [...]

September 13, 2010 – Allen Moll It’s that time of year again, as the days begin to get shorter, the kids are back at school, and Brett Favre fakes retirement. Oh sorry,……..wrong sport.
