Here are 10 of sports’ most heinous traitors. 10. Johnny Damon, Roger Clemens and Wade Boggs. Let’s just get these three out of the way, right off the bat. We would include Babe Ruth on this list too, but it’s not his fault the Sox sold him. And we’d include Jose Canseco, Mike Myers and […]

Lebron Spreads Happiness
Lyn Brown’s secret to running a successful charity isn’t much of a secret.

Lebron is still the Man
LeBron James continually redefines what one player is capable of in this predominantly team sport. His abuse of Orlando, New Jersey and Detroit last spring was truly an effort worthy of the ‘Witness’ signs that dominate the landscape at the Quicken Loans Arena.  All kidding aside, though, the Cavs as a team caught a lot […]
