Yet one more idle Browns thought
Is there another team in the league that has the head coach address questions about the guy who just interviewed who might just possibly fire the guy doing the talking? Cripes, this is so convoluted it's tough to even write. I'll … Continue reading

LeBron James suddenly refuses to discuss his impending free agency
My first inclination when LeBron James said he wouldn't talk anymore about free agency was to think, good for him, he shouldn't. Especially if he meant what he said about not doing so for his team. But then you get … Continue reading
