The ratings are in for LeBronapalooza, aka the Bron-Bron Fellatiathon, also known as "The Decision."*
As expected, it was a ratings bonanza. I guess.
With 9.95 million viewers, the program was the third-highest rated show on cable this year, trailing only the Pro Bowl and an episode of Nickelodeon's "iCarly."

Big ups to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who became the first team to trail by just three baskets with over a minute left to play in a playoff game and made no attempt whatsoever to stop the clock or get the ball back from the opponent.
The pathetic ending aside, one other ...

As my Rashaan Salaam No. 31 attests, buying jerseys has never been a particularly wise investment. It's only gotten worse as the years have gone on. Even when you buy the jersey of a bona fide star, odds are he won't be around forever. How many Chargers fans ever thought ...

Boomshakalaka! NBA Jam is back!
From the What-Took-Them-So-Long Department, Nintendo has announced plans to remake the basketball video game classic for Wii. Scheduled out later this year, the game is expected to closely resemble the original with the game’s creator, Mark Turmell, involved in the title’s reclamation.

Advertisers were clearly counting on David Stern to orchestrate another dream NBA Finals this year, as seemingly every product shown during the playoffs was endorsed by the combination of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.

In case you don't watch every show on DVR or online and can't fast forward through every commercial break, then I'm sure you're more than aware of Friday's upcoming release of "Angels and Demons."
The critics are saying: "Better than 'The Da Vinci Code' in every way imaginable!"

The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 111-110 in overtime last night, handing the Cavs their 2nd home loss on the season.
