World of Sports Wednesday

Happy Hump Day everybody!!! Well it's the middle of the week so I figured I would give you some random thoughts on the world of sports, so here it goes...

1. Heat vs Cavs: Round 2. Does anyone outside of Cleveland really care about this game? As I am writing this, the game will be starting in 15 minutes and I can really care less to be honest. My feeling is that the Cavs are going to lose by at least 20 and LeBron will go off again. My hope is that someone on the Cavs knocks him down and maybe the Cavs can hang in there. If they play grab a$$ with him again, extra security will be needed at the airport to protect the Cavs when they come back.

2. Indians are looking at Bartolo Colon? (smack hand to head right now!) Really? On a serious note, the Indians will be lowering ticket prices. Best off season move they've made in three years.

3. Rumors that Mangini is out after the season. I am a fan of Tony Rizzo's morning radio show on ESPN 850 WKNR, but his Co-host Sabrina Parr must go. Today she said her sources, who are players on the Browns (friends), said that Mangini is gone after the season no matter what happens in the last three games. First, those players should shut their mouth and second, I think Sabrina Parr should leave those statements to credible media people. It just seems like she just spits rumors out.

4. Big up to Cliff Lee. Way to get your money and screw the Yankees. Now if he could have screwed the Red Sox, he would've been my favorite player in MLB.

5. Congrats to the Akron Zips Men's Soccer Team! Close last year. Finished the job this year.

LBJ Gone!

Lebron James gave us 7 great years. He is a great player that I respect. The way he handled this free agency is ridiculous. It was drawn out, and Cleveland deserved better. Lebron acknowledged he did not talk to Cavaliers management, or front office personnel before his decision. After everything Cleveland and Akron gave him, couldn't he atleast have talked to them before this decision to hear what they had to say, or to tell them of his decision?

He also said he wants to play for multiple championships and he felt that the players at Miami were obviously better. Yes they have Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, and now Lebron James. Who else do they have? Owner Dan Gilbert has spent alot of money to put Cleveland in the best position each and every year. He has built a good team around Lebron and tried to give him players with talent. Now Lebron thought it was time to move on. Remember before Lebron James came the cavaliers weren't a winning team. It did take a little time to get where they are now. So James gave 4 years with the talent and he could not get the job done.

To me dragging this out and making Clevelanders suffer with his decision was disrespectful. There were other ways to do this, and Clevelanders deserved better. In the next few weeks, more will come out especially after owner Dan Gilbert stood up for fans and frustration.
