Friday, February 11th, 2011

Good news, Cleveland fans! This year's Cavaliers aren't even the worst team in your city's glorious history. Or are they? The distinction of worst team in the history of Cleveland -- if not all of sports -- has long been the domain of the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, who finished a putrid 20-134 ...

Why LeBron Made The Wrong Decision

Friday, February 4th, 2011

If this NBA season has taught us anything, it's that LeBron James' decision to abandon Cleveland was not exactly misguided, at least outside of that whole terrible execution thing. (Involving Jim Gray in anything pretty much guarantees you of terrible execution). The woeful supporting cast he had with the Cavaliers ...

Welcome to the Playoffs, Chicago Bulls

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Well this should be fun. The Chicago Bulls clinched the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs with a win over Charlotte on Wednesday and earned the right to play LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Isn't that just dandy. Because, seriously, even though the Bulls went 2-2 against the Cavs ...

A New World Record For Lame

Monday, March 8th, 2010

I used to think that we reached our peak of embarrassment as a species back when Yankees fans established a world record for the most people simultaneously doing the Macarena. (It's hard to believe that no one has been able to get more than 50,000 people to dance to Los ...

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Boston 97, Cleveland 92: Yeah, yeah it was a great display of offensive prowess by both Paul Pierce (41 points) and LeBron James (45 points). And it was a truly great game. But we all know this is the exception to the rule in the Eastern Conference.That's why I, for ...

‘Round the Association: Somebody Win a Freakin’ Road Game

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Boston 96, Cleveland 89: There were those, and by those I mean me, that thought Cleveland could go into Boston and win Wednesday night. That LeBron sure is overrated. When is he ever going to deliver on all that potential?Just kidding. He did score 35 points in the losing effort. ...

‘Round the Association: KG Wants No Part of the James Family

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Cleveland 88, Boston 77: Just another agonizingly slow-paced, low-scoring Eastern Conference basketball game last night in Cleveland. Needless to say I spent more time watching the Cubs pound out a win against the Padres. There's a pretty good chance I would have dozed off otherwise.LeBron James had 21 points to ...
