We just wanted to check in for a moment to note a couple things.
One, thanks to all of you who’ve emailed to tell us about this Colin Cowherd/The Big Lead thing. As one of the other victims of the Scourge of ESPN (see: Jackson, Scoop), we’re sympathetic to the cause.
THAT SAID…when something happens that causes your site to get mentioned in USA Today and something like 9,000 blog posts…that’s a gift, yo. We’re not a lawyer, philosopher, or doctor, but we say embrace it. (Has TrueHoop commented on this yet btw? That’s not an accusation or inciting statement of any kind – merely a curiosity because we lack the time to check.)
Second on our agenda…the Cavaliers. We’ll try to keep this short, since it’s the same thing we’ve said all year, with a small prediction tagged on.
1) Coach Mike sucks.
2) The talent is there, but either the system isn’t OR the authority to ensure it’s run correctly isn’t. Either way, please let Coach Mike go wander the Earth unemployed, so that he may search out the ancient scrolls that instruct one on how to utilize your All-World phenom.
3) We’ve resigned ourself to the fifth seed and a first-round exit, no matter who they play and where. Not to be a downer, but we’re down on the Cavs. Wasted season.
Other than that, we got nothin’. Ongoing thanks to the Substitute Teachers for keeping the site breathing. Only 16 short days until we return to you, at which point we will inevitably find a reason to leave again!

“THE LAKERS ARE FADING INTO BOLIVIAN”
That’s a headline from withleather.com about the Lakers… and you thought that I was the only one that thought Mike Tyson’s “fading into Bolivian” comment was dumb.
Shame on you Cav. And thanks for responding to my email, I’m beginning to realize you don’t like me.
I’ve been curious about TrueHoop’s take as well. I don’t think he has been at ESPN long enough to comment about a co-worker on his site, but I would think he would take some time to email TBL. Interesting to see if Simmons also makes mention. He is somewhat blog friendly.
16 days? I was beginning to like it here.
I like withleather DOT COM, but when did they become the standard by which all that is or is not funny is judged? Bolivian was played out almost immediately.
Boney I like you, don’t worry. I’m sitting on 50 unanswered emails at the moment, including 2 from my mommy. Just slightly busy.
I didn’t blog about that, because it’s a fight between people I don’t know on a topic that has no connection whatsoever to basketball. But I have been in email contact with a million people about it, FWIW.
It was an obscure Mike Tyson reference that I made a while back that you haven’t heard in a while.
Don’t hate.
HATE!
smile and the world doesnt. ahaks!
Cavlier, keep postin. the best damn sports blog. period. ahaks.
well not just period, but like ever ever. like mase said it
