You have to love the dog days of summer.  Since the end of basketball free agency the major sports writers have been trying their mightiest to find a headline.  Yeah, NFL training camps have opened but it isn't the same.  Baseball is in the summer lull and there hasn't been a no-hitter in almost a month.  So, what have the writers been doing, making up stories on topics that really aren't story worthy.  I'll give a few examples and how I think they could be solved.   1.  LeBron James leaves to Miami, Owner Dan Gilbert writes a letter There were many out there throwing ...

Sports fans, if you are like me, you enjoy catching almost all things ESPN. There's ESPN Radio, the podcasts, SportsCenter, and on and online.

Thanksgiving week is a time to be thankful for things that God has given us. I spent the week with family and trying my best to keep up on all the football and basketball.
