LeBron Back To Cleveland??

So it begins… LeBron opts out of his contract. Where will he end up? Well only LeBron, his wife, his mom, the barber, the car salesman, the cousin of LeBron's mom etc know. You get my drift. Cleveland fans are getting hooked and are ready to welcome LBJ back to Cleveland. Time has really helped the fans and media members of Cleveland. It was not too long-ago EVERYONE hated LBJ and never wanted him back in Cleveland. Fast foreword 4 years and two NBA titles later…. Cleveland is ready for the return. Cleveland is ready for the return because they are hungry for a "winner" and a title. There are still some fans who wish he does not return. I understand Cleveland wants a "winner" and a title. But is this the way you Clevelanders want to win a title? Having the guy who left and won two titles with another team? "Only in Cleveland" would the fans welcome back the person who ripped their hearts out four years ago.

The 92nd PGA

WOW! What a tournament. I was not a fan of this course to begin with and this tops it off. There was a moment during the week where I thought to myself "This is boring". It was not till Sunday afternoon at about 4:30 eastern time did I focus in. We had a five way race with D. Johnson, Z.Johnson, R.McIlroy, BuBBA and M.Kaymer. Sure others made a push. When Dustin Johnson came to the 18th green, I had this feeling. The feeling was he was going to hit a bad drive. Sure enough he went 20 rows deep into the crowd. He found his ball in a "bunker", or was it? Dustin Johnson did not think it was a bunker nor did his caddy. But the rules sheet did say --"All areas of the course that were designed and built as sand bunkers will be played as bunkers (hazards), whether or not they have been raked. This will mean that many bunkers positioned outside of the ropes, as well some areas of bunkers inside the ropes, close to the rope line, will likely include numerous footprints, heel prints and tire tracks during the play of the Championship. Such irregularities of surface are a part of the game and no free relief will be available from these conditions."--

This is a dumb rule! What courses allow fans to walk through bunkers? Oh I guess this one does. It is like the folks from Whistling Straits wanted to prove a point. Wanted to be like we have 1200 bunkers and we are the best! This bunker should have been a waste bunker. Yes, after watching the replay, you can see the lip of the bunker. But I see grass and such, it looked like a "manger" said CBS golf analysis David Feherty. What a classic quote. But overall this rule was dumb and should have been in effect! It will be interesting to see what happen in 2015.

Brett Favre


What a game last night! Yeah Favre tossed a INT when he was driving down the field. Yeah you don't throw across your body .. EVER. But what a season Brett Favre had. He tossed for 4,202 yards with 33 TD and 7 INTS. He turned Rice into a star and made the Vikings better. At the begging of the season all talks were AP was going to have to carry this team. Turned out Brett had to carry the team. He won a lot of games this season was the reason why the Viking were only seconds away from a Super Bowl.

Brett took so many hits last night and kept getting back up ! What a STUD. He showed how everyone should play the game. When Brett Favre is back there anything is possible. Will he come back next year? Who knows. When will we know? Not sure. I would love to see him come back for another season.

STUDENT Athletes..


As the college football season comes to an end we hear about the student athlete's eligibility. It is the same every year; we hear about how some students have not made the grades to play in their bowl game. Most recently USC has said they have three players ineligibly. I do not understand why year in and year out we hear about issues like this. They have all the help they need. There is no reason these athletes should be failing class. The help and tutors are all there and are just a flash of an eye away.

Also we always hear about players who accept gifts from boosters. It has happen again and it involves a USC running back. He has been seen riding in a very expensive SUV. According to the running back the car belongs to his girl friend which was given to her by a business man in L.A.

Along with that there are two Ohio State players who have been in and out of Jim Tressel's dog house. They have been doing so well this season and they have now the two are back in the dog house. I do not understand how athletes who have all the resources and everything going for them find a way to screw it up. There will always be a select few who think they are above all. And they will continue to get caught and get in trouble.
