Tonight, if our swamis are correct, LeBron James will announce he is joining the Miami Heat. On national TV. Which, from the perspective of Northeast Ohioans, is the equivalent of dumping your high school sweetheart via a banner flown from a plane. And if he ends up staying in Cleveland,…

The surest way to know that the LeBron James sweepstakes has gone way past sports interest into a full-blown pop culture phenomenon: Us Weekly, which usually writes about the state of Brangelina, is claiming an exclusive.

Even with a major piece of the NBA free-agency puzzle being settled this morning, rumors continue to fly while others are put to rest. That one about Pat Riley reinstating himself as coach of the Heat? As far as Chris Bosh has heard, current coach Eric Spoelstra is staying put…

Dwyane Wade let Miami’s oft-tortured sports fans breathe a heavy sigh of relief this morning by re-signing with the Miami Heat and bringing Chris Bosh with him. Wade certainly stoked our abandonment complex at times, but he just put up a YouTube video thanking “the real fans that really gave me…

Do you guys know who this Jason Taylor fellow is? Sounds vaguely familiar. Apparently, he has written a short article for the Sporting News extolling the greatness of Dolphins linebacker Cameron Wake. “I think maybe five years from now, maybe one year from now,” Taylor writes, “people in Miami will…

Heat fans: Put down the gin, back away from the train tracks, and climb down from the edge of the AA Arena roof (talking to you now, Burnie).Superstar Chris Bosh will join über-superstar Dwyane Wade on the hardwood for your Miami Heat next season. So says ESPN, which is so…

University of South California coach Lane Kiffin announced today that he’s releasing highly recruited offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson from his Letter of Internet with the school. It’s still possible that after all that he could decided to play with the Trojans. Though, it’s looking more and more likely that he…

Nothing better than watching a college football recruiting saga play out. While the Canes have been on the more painful end of some recent ones (Bryce Brown and Willie Williams, to name just two), the Seantrel Williams saga looks like it might end up in Miami’s favor. There are dueling…

The recruiting saga of offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson, one of the highest-rated players of the class of 2010, is still staggering along five months after national signing day. That means only bad news for the sanction-hit USC Trojans, where Henderson had signed a letter of intent, and could be shaping…

The NBA’s free-agency period began at midnight, which means we can finally start getting some facts to go with all of the insane rumors and mindless speculation. Our Miami Heat, which has basically put all of its eggs in this year’s free-agency basket, is already hard at work trying to…

If we were conspiracy theorists we’d have some half-formed theory that whenever Miami played host city to the Super Bowl there is some secret plan to make sure the Dolphins don’t make it to the big game. It would ensure that other team’s fan bases travel down in droves with…

The U.S. defeat at the hands of Ghana this past Saturday was the inevitable letdown after the euphoric last-minute victory over Algeria last week. There are a lot of questions looming now for this team, with the coaching staff, some of its players, and whether their Round of 16 World…
