How LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers Can Take a Cue from Tom Brady and the New England Patriots
First and foremost, WOW! The way the Super Bowl played out was definitely one for the ages. After being down pretty big for the most of the game, Tom Brady did what Tom Brady does, he made plays, and enough to bring his organization their 5th NFL championship. It wasn’t easy though, as Brady has faced quite a bit along the way in these past few seasons.

A New NBA
In February rumors were abound regarding the possibility of NBA expansion. Commissioner Adam Silver has typically been quite conservative regarding potential expansion but he’s also a rail-thin white dude who gives perfect dap so let’s not suppose he’s anything less than pleasantly surprising. Several cities were mentioned as potential landing spots. Seattle, Lousville, Kansas City, Virginia Beach, Anaheim, Las Vegas, Anaheim, Mexico City and San Jose have all generated conversation to varying levels of authenticity as NBA host cities. There are basically four categories these cities fall in:

Neither Lebron nor KD Paved the Way for Superteams, but They Perfected It
Boys and girls, the word of the day here is “superteam”. The NBA Finals and the playoffs as a whole have revolved around this word. Whether it’s being thrown around in sentences like “Kevin Durant joining a 73-win team is the most stacked superteam of all time,” or “LeBron’s just mad someone made a better superteam than him for once,” or even “why did we even try to win 50 games we can’t beat this superteam, we could’ve been golfing a month ago,” you’ve heard it time and time again. By now you know it’s the combination of a minimum of three superstars joining together like one giant Morphing Power Ranger to just blow past everyone that gets in their way.

Baylor Needs and Deserves the Death Penalty
I know what you’re thinking: “There’s no way the NCAA can do this. That’s too harsh of a punishment.” This situation is not the same as Penn State or SMU. One involved a coach performing disgustingly inhumane acts on children, and the other involved coaches paying recruits/players. In Waco, the issue starts directly with the players. If any of these players are guilty of committing crimes against women, they should be kicked out of the football program — no questions asked. However, it doesn’t work that way at Baylor.

Are the Cavs Back to Being the Team to Beat in the East?
When Kevin Durant’s departure from Oklahoma City created the first human-atom bomb in Russell Westbrook, it also set the table for the rubber match in the NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors. Before an entire NBA season was played we all labeled where LeBron James would be headed in June.

Behold, the Hero Cometh
You only remember the time he blew in LeBron’s ear, huh? You are so naive. There are mysteries of the universe you couldn’t possibly imagine. We are but specks on a speck against the infinite backdrop of limitless space. I went to an observatory once and heard a lecture on planets that might replace Pluto as our solar system’s ninth batter. I couldn’t process it. Light years and gravitational power pictures sent from satellites from ten years in the past (or the future…I’m not sure, I was overwhelmed so I tried to eat the skittles I brought as quietly as possible and may have missed some things).

To Sell or Not to Sell?
Baseball has reached the two month mark. Teams are 50+ games into the season, and we’re rapidly approaching the 1/3rd mark. We’ve seen Michael Conforto, Aaron Judge, and Miguel Sano emerge as some of the best hitters in baseball, we’ve seen Justin Bour and Scott Schebler duke it out for the NL HR lead, and we’ve seen the Cubs flounder like a fish out of water.

How The Chris Paul Trade Makes Complete Sense
After the rumors broke not long ago that the Rockets were pursuing Chris Paul, everyone tried to wrap their head around just how well he and James Harden would pair together. Once a majority of NBA fans agreed it would be an odd fit, Woj decided to drop this bad boy and turn everyone’s day upside down.
