My first reaction was “Yikes.” But maybe it won’t be so bad. There is really two things that can happen here. Either RG3 has a resurgence back to his rookie season and using his legs and (hopefully) improved vision to win some games, or he struggles immensely with the lack of options in the Browns offense and his career will be just about over.
The Browns have a pretty good offensive coordinator and there is the potential that the NFL reinstates superstar wide receiver Josh Gordon. If Gordon is allowed to play in 2016 then the Griffin to Gordon combo will be exciting. Regardless of Gordon being on the field or not, the Browns are expected to draft quarterback Carson Wentz with the second overall pick. If Griffin falters then the spot will belong to Wentz, especially after quarterback expert Jon Gruden said that he is the most NFL-ready QB he has seen in years.
2016 will make or break RG3’s career. If Gordon is back he will have a golden opportunity and the Browns would benefit by giving their first round draft pick a year to study the playbook and NFL defenses if Griffins performs very well.
LeBron already ruined the Cavs by trying to be the general manager and a player at the same time. Now he has bigger plans than game preparation. With a difficult path to a championship in 2016 LeBron is already looking to the future to try to manipulate his way to having the best team in the NBA.
There are several reasons why I am disgusted by his comment. First off, this pretty much means that he does not care about his current teammates whatsoever. The ones that he basically forced his organization to get! They gave up young potential superstar Andrew Wiggins to get Kevin Love for you LeBron. Secondly, this shows that LeBron didn’t really care about going back to Cleveland, that he just wanted to go where he thought he had the best possibility of getting a ring. And lastly it shows that LeBron has already given up on this season and instead of focusing on how to beat the Warriors or Spurs, he is fantasizing about the future where he thinks he is more likely to be able to get another ring.
Those in defense of LeBron may say that he is just throwing something hypothetical that may possibly happen at the end of his an the players he mentioned’s careers. To my understanding, LeBron came up with this idea unprovoked and is continuously talking about it as if it is something he is 100% serious about. And it even says in this article that LeBron was chatting with Dwyane Wade during halftime instead of warming up or going over a gameplan while his team was down by 21 last Saturday.
I just don’t think LeBron is focused on this season and that it is disrespectful to a Cavaliers organization and fanbase that has given up a lot for him.
I didn’t know that they were that close and after finding that picture my opinion on this is slightly altered. But the point still stands. Focus on what you started LeBron.
I don’t think that it is appropriate to bring your 14 year old son to work everyday regardless of the job. Adam Laroche’s salary was $13 million. If you’re doing something important enough to earn $13 million what makes you think that your son needs to become an everyday distraction?
According to USA Today, several players had complaints about Drake Laroche’s involvement in the clubhouse.. That is what made president Kenny Williams bring it up to Adam Laroche.
Somehow the media and many prominent players on the team were outraged by Williams’s decision to ban Laroche’s son from the clubhouse. This baffles me. I won’t repeat every single detail outlined in this article, but the fact that Laroche’s son is fooling around in a baseball clubhouse instead of going to school and yet people are supporting Laroche is insane.
Lastly, I want to include that Laroche had a BRUTAL 2015 season. I drafted Laroche with a mid round pick last year in fantasy baseball and for that reason I chose to hold onto him for almost the entire first half of the baseball season. He was barely above the Mendoza line, if that. To say he had a down year in 2015 would be an understatement. It’s hard to say it, but I’m sure that the White Sox front office is glad that he walked away considering they were getting minimal production from someone earning $13 million a year.
Bill Belichick finally gets back his 1-2 tight end punch that he had with Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. He had tried to replace the latter with Tim Wright and Scott Chandler in the past but neither worked out. Adding Martellus Bennett will definitely work out.
Bennett is a bonafide option averaging over 600 yards and 5 touchdowns in 3 seasons as a starter playing all 16 games.

Michael Beasley averaged 31.7 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game in China in the 2015-16 season. He was honored as the MVP. Still young, at age 27 Beasley will get another chance to prove he belongs in the NBA. This may be one of his last chances though, as the forward returned to Miami, the team that drafted him last season but didn’t stick with them.
