<em>Denver Post</em> Columnist Writes The Hottest LeBron Take Ever
In a world where even Dan Shaughnessy will hedge against his own stupidity, we desperately need a local newspaper columnist who isn't afraid to dish out the kind of moral rectitude and one-sentence KABOOM paragraphs that will put the sporting world back on the path to righteousness.

What If A Baseball Player Were As Dominant As LeBron?
I'd like to pretend that I'm above paying attention to the LeBron James circus, but like everyone else, I spent a lot of today just sitting around waiting on some revelatory Adrian Wojnarowski tweet, so that a question like What if someone was just as dominant as LeBron James, but he played baseball...

The Red Sox let A.J. Pierzynski go yesterday, barely halfway through his one-year, $8.25 million deal.
