| Al Jefferson Stolen by the Jazz Posted: 13 Jul 2010 08:26 PM PDT The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to make offseason moves like they have a drunk general manager. Their latest mistake was handing over their best player, Al Jefferson, to the Utah Jazz for little in return (a pair of draft picks and a scrub named Kosta Koufas). Jefferson, a 25-year-old power forward, may just have the best low post moves in the entire league. Instead of trying to build around Jefferson, head coach Kurt Rambis is forcing the team to play the triangle offense. GM David Kahn, in turn, decided to give away Jefferson. Last season, Jefferson averaged 17.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 32.4 minutes per game. His best season came in 2008-09 when he averaged 23.1 points, 10.9 points and 1.7 blocks. The Jazz had a major need for a power forward after losing Carlos Boozer to the Chicago Bulls in free agency. With this trade, they got the man they needed. On the other hand, the T’Wolves may have just lost the man they needed if they ever hope not to suck.  Al Jefferson traded to the Utah Jazz (Image: TSN.ca) Post from: EveryJoe |
| Loved and Hated George Steinbrenner Dies Posted: 13 Jul 2010 08:13 PM PDT George Steinbrenner. The name alone is sure to cause an emotion in every baseball fan — ranging from ultimate love to eternal hate. Unfortunately, baseball lost him today. At the age of 80, George Steinbrenner, the owner of the New York Yankees, has died of a heart attack. Although he’s gone, Steinbrenner will long be remembered. Outspoken owners will forever be compared to him. Seinfeld fan will see him pop up on the TV screen. If the Yankees ever have a bad season, fans will wish ol’ George were there to fix it. The two things Steinbrenner will be remembered for the most: spending money in free agency and firing coaches. As he aged, he stopped firing coaches as often, however his willingness to bring in high-priced free agents never faded. Appropriately, the Yankees are on top of the baseball world as Steinbrenner passes. They are the reigning champions and have the best record at the All-Star break. Well done, George Steinbrenner. Well done.  George Steinbrenner - New York Yankees (Image: TSN.ca) Post from: EveryJoe |
| Cavs Fans Rally Behind Dan Gilbert Posted: 13 Jul 2010 08:01 PM PDT Dan Gilbert, the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, has had an eventful month. First he lost superstar LeBron James to free agency on national television. He then drew a ton of heat (no pun intended) for blasting LeBron in an open letter. Jesse Jackson said Gilbert was treating LeBron like a runaway slave. Even NBA commissioner David Stern stepped in and fined Gilbert $100,000 for his actions. It seems everyone hates Gilbert … except for Cavs fans. In Cleveland, Cavs fans are happy that Gilbert stepped up and didn’t let LeBron leave unscathed. To show their support, fans have offered to pay Gilbert’s $100,000 fine. The Cavs owner was appreciative of the gesture, however he wants to pay the fine himself. Said Gilbert: “The humbling offer by so many is another reflection of the strength of Cavs fans and the people who live and work in this region and are always the first to step up and have each other’s back.” The Cavs are going to really struggle next season without LeBron. But with his actions since losing LeBron, Gilbert may have avoided a mass exodus of fans.  Dan Gilbert can smile ... for now Post from: EveryJoe |

| David Ortiz Shakes the Haters Off Posted: 12 Jul 2010 08:55 PM PDT In Boston, the favorite pastime is to talk about how David Ortiz’s career is over. Last year, Ortiz got off to a slow start and the city was ready to throw him to the wolves. After finishing strong last year, Ortiz is playing well again this season. To put an exclamation point on the end of his good first half of 2010, Ortiz won the Home Run Derby on Monday. In an all Dominican final against Hanley Ramirez, Ortiz slugged 11 homers to take home the trophy. It was his first time winning the Home Run Derby — and it had to be especially sweet after Boston prematurely thought he was done. Said Ortiz: “I’ve been dealing with so many things the past few years. Coming back here, I want to thank the players for giving me the opportunity to be here.” On the season, Ortiz is hitting .263 with 18 homers, 57 RBIs and 46 runs. The Red Sox are in third place in the AL East, five games behind the New York Yankees. This year, however, Boston’s woes can’t be pinned unfairly on David Ortiz. Post from: EveryJoe |

| Miami Dream Team Adds Miller and Haslem Posted: 12 Jul 2010 08:21 PM PDT It’s getting scary in South Beach. Even after forming the amazing threesome of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh, the Miami Heat continue to add pieces. The latest two players to sign up for the potential dynasty are Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem. Miller is the knock-down shooter this team will need. Since Dwyane and LeBron are both streaky shooters, they needed a marksman — Miller is that man. Last season, he nailed 48% of his three-pointers, even though he played on a horrible Washington Wizards squad. In Haslem, the Heat brought back the team’s rock. He’s extremely consistent and a player that everyone in the organization loves. Haslem can play next to Bosh to form a small yet fast unit, or he may play behind him to add more beef to the bench. The rest of the NBA has to wonder how this team will lose. A starting lineup of LeBron at point guard, Wade at shooting guard, Miller at small forward, Bosh at power forward and Haslem at center is quite possibly the best starting five in the league.

| Posted: 12 Jul 2010 10:41 AM PDT Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi never looks hot, but she can oftentimes look “decent.” That wasn’t the case on Sunday as she was leaving Madeo restaurant in Los Angeles with the rest of the Jersey Shore cast. Snooki looked downright nasty.  Image: WENN.com She seems to be blowing up in front of our eyes. She’s always been thick, now she’s just getting fat. And of course, she’s glowing orange as always. Sure, the above picture is a bad angle but she doesn’t look any better in the photo below with castmate Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola.  Image: WENN.com And check her out at the beach with Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley back in May. Yikes!  Photo by: Johnny Louis/WENN  Photo by: Johnny Louis/WENN Snooki acknowledges the weight gain, and supposedly was going to go on the Cookie Diet. I guess she doesn’t realize that she’s not supposed to eat bags of Oreos at a time. Post from: EveryJoe |
