It’s over! We have the PROOF. LeBron James signing with Philadelphia has revealed who he truly is at his core. A mercenary. The history is now undeniable.
- When he couldn’t lead a team to a championship, he had Dwyane Wade do it for him on a superteam. On his way out, Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert accused him of quitting in a playoff series, saying “Go back and look at the tape”. Gilbert called him a quitter.
- When that superteam got old, he joined another in Cleveland, prompting Miami President Pat Riley to say “This stuff is hard. And you've got to stay together if you've got the guts. You don't find the first door and run out of it”. Riley said he had no guts.
- When Kyrie abandoned him, and realized that he couldn’t win without him, he bolted to LA, and lost until Anthony Davis saved him. Last season it was revealed in a report that Jeanie Buss had grew frustrated by his "outsized ego" and power within the franchise. — Rob Pelinka this offseason then allowed LeBron to save face, by pretending it was his decision to leave the franchise, so he bolted back East where he has an easier path to a championship next to three other All NBA players and one of last season’s rookie of the year candidates. Buss called him an ego-maniac.
An outsized ego, with no guts, who is a quitter. Their words, not mine.
Now this final move proves what everyone has said all along — He ain’t Jordan and he ain’t Kobe Bryant. He’s a mercenary, an opportunist, and he’s proven time and time again, when the going gets tough, LeBron packs his bags and runs away.
Don’t take my word for it, take it from the people who led the franchises that he played with; Dan Gilbert, Pat Riley, and Jeanie Buss — In their own words.
LeBron James never lacked the talent…….He lacked heart.

This is awesome.
Clemson baseball has a tradition of players going up in the stands during the 4th inning to shake hands with Veterans.
Today, on opening day, the Army baseball team joined in with them

Governor Beshear’s Budget Director has refused to turn over financial reports to the Legislature, and Rep. Jason Petrie went off.
The Legislature wanted to see the budget recommendations that cabinet secretaries made for their departments, but Budget Director Hicks refused to turn them over, saying that those reports are for the governor, not the Budget Committee.
Beshear doesn’t make the budget—the Legislature does. They don’t need Beshear’s input and can pass whatever they want.
The overriding concern here is that Beshear is running for president. A cabinet secretary might have submitted a budget that cuts useless programs, but Beshear would be worried about how it looks politically if he cut funding to a program that is politically advantageous to him.
That is why the Budget Committee wanted to see the reports from the cabinets without the governor’s spin.

Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity.
Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy.
A little profanity shows that you're being real and you do give a damn.

Ted Williams, one of the greatest natural hitters of all time, was retired and giving some tips to the rookies at the Red Sox spring training camp.
One of them asked how to tell apart a curveball from a slider when they were coming in. Williams replied "Oh! That's easy. If it's a curveball, the red spot you see on the ball will be rotating clockwise - if it's a changeup, counterclockwise."
They all nodded and thanked him for the tip.
One of the rookies turned to the others and said whispered,
"Now who the f*** can even see a red spot on a ball coming at you at 95 mph?"
Then Ted Williams went on to claim that he could tell exactly where on the seams he hit a baseball.
No one believed him.
Ted was long retired at this point.
Williiams took a bat and covered the barrel with pine tar and they started throwing him some pitches.
Ted would hit and say "across the seams" or "between the seams" or "across one seam" or whatever.
They retrieved the balls and found out Williams was right, EVERY single time.
