LeBron James Free Agent Watch, As Sketch Comedy
I guess we have the technology to find out what these gentlemen were talking about, but every frame is a painting in the absurd. Just check out that dryish-marker-on-presentation-handouts penmanship going on there; that's top drawer comedy set design. ...
The Cavs Just Cleared Some LeBron-Sized Cap Space
So it appears that the Cavs are really going for it. LeBron's old team just swung a three-team trade that will clear $9.5 million off the Cavaliers' books, leaving them with about $24 million in cap space, and that puts them them well in position to offer LeBron a max contract at $20.7 million....
World Cup Jinx Mick Jagger Screwed The Brazilians Again
Mick Jagger has had a run of unwitting World Cup predictions as good as any octopus—only Mick's endorsement is to be avoided at all costs. Anyone he supports, loses. He was in Brazil's corner today, naturally....

"Dear...Hero": Dan Gilbert's Comic Sans Letter, Edited For 2014 LeBron
LeBron James is back on the free-agent market for the first time since he left his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat. Doesn't all that summer's bitterness seem so long ago now?

The Cavs Needed The NBA's Help To Delete Dan Gilbert's Comic Sans Letter

Reminder: The LeBron Free Agency Circus Is The NBA's Fault
We're watching the rubber band snap on LeBron free agency coverage. We waited all year to see what would happen, and now that it's happening, there's... rather a lot of coverage, isn't there? But remember, whatever hysterics into which teams and Twitter and ESPN have been thrown were created by the ...
Here's Mark Jackson Doing Some Intense Sidewalk Preachin'
The other day, Mark Jackson went out to do some preachin' in Los Angeles, right over by the pawn shop and the check cashing joint. He's got a lot of energy, but I'm a little disappointed that he didn't find a way to work "Hand down, man down!" into his sermon....
Paramore's "Ain't It Fun" Is The Summer Jam Twitter Desperately Needs
It's a pleasantly sweaty June night at the bucolic, Live Nation-owned Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Mass., and Hayley Williams looks like she's ready for a fight.

The Cavaliers Finally Took Down Dan Gilbert's Insane Comic Sans Letter

Cubs Trade Jeff Samardzija And Jason Hammel To Best Team In Baseball
Good news, Jeff Samardzija! You are now a starting pitcher for the Athletics, owners of the best record in baseball. It may smell like old, decaying, actual shit in Oakland, but that's just a modern plumbing problem, not an ancient, metaphorical one like your old home. ...
