LeBron James will be staying Cleveland, finally easing the worried minds of Cleveland-ites far and wide who feared that he would bolt from the land of Drew Carey for more pristine digs. But the Cavaliers management stepped up, fitting James with a 5-year $80 million extension that will keep him locked up in burnt orange fringe until he’s…26. Then, well, they’ll have the second-half of his career to deal with when he’s filled out with man muscles and become a savvy veteran. At that point, you can expect James will be signing a contract extension most likely in the katrillions. That’s just a ballpark figure I’m throwing out there.
Anyway, congratulations to Cleveland, city of inevitable champions.

This time, courtesy of everyone’s favorite wise little cartoon canary, ESPN football analyst John Clayton. JC couldn’t contain his excitement about Peyton Manning’s potential post-season dominance this year thanks to, um, some new rules. But it’s quite apparent that Clayton might need to start reading some of his columns out loud before he sends them over to the editor’s desk just to make sure he isn’t stuck with a graph that reads like this:
“Peyton Manning will have his best postseason thanks to the league’s recent rule change that allows quarterbacks to handle the balls prior to games. This is huge. Quarterbacks won’t be able to practice with them, but they’ll be given game balls early enough during the week that they’ll be able to rub them down and make them easier to grip.”
John Clayton, ladies and gentlemen.

For the believers, sit back and remain civilized and/or satisfied.
For the non-believers, start working on your LeBron trade demand rumors for January and February.
For those of you who came here through a Google search for “Jessica Alba ass”, you’re at the wrong site.
We’re on our way out the door - more later, as soon as we determine which way the media is spinning this to reflect badly on the Cavaliers and Cleveland.
(Thanks to John for the heads-up.)

The Denver Broncos Todd Sauerbrun will most likely face a one month suspension after his pee -pee test revealed that he had dietary supplement Ephedra in his system. As you may remember, Ephedra was a popular drug used to curb people’s appetites, speed up their metabolism, and, oh yeah, possibly kill overweight offensive lineman.
Sauerbrun will appeal his sentencing, however, it’s fun to note that Todd Sauerbrun(punter, lover of visors) is kind of a trouble maker. In addition to this latest slip-up, in May 2005, he was implicated in a Carolina Panthers’ steroid scandal and was arrested in December 2004 for drunken driving. Todd Sauerbrun is a bad man and will not be stopped. Especially when he’s on Ripped Fuel.

Surprisingly, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens used to be a little kid –with hopes, dreams, aspirations of making life miserable for his future employers and teammates–and the Philadelphia Eagles still, for some reason, have a little online scrapbook of T.O. as a pup on their Kids Club page. When you click through, notice T.O. as a smiling adolescent, a gangly teen, and, most impressively, rocking the box-cut-fade popularized by Keith Sweat.
Point, laugh, and or post these photos on your local NAMBLA message board.
T.O. Kid! [Eagles Kids Club]
