I’ve got a new piece up at Bullz-Eye, called the Top Ten Bad Ass MoFos in Sports History. Let the debate begin. (includes mentions of Jim Brown and Albert Belle!!)

Everyone knows that the Cavs are gonna be scary good this year. So much so, ESPN’s Sportscenter is structuring its entire ad sales on it.
I really, really hate it when ESPN trails a highlight package before every commercial break, only to keep pushing it back. They did it the entire first half of Sportscenter today LBJ’s highlights from last night’s blowout pre-season win over the Wizards. Start of the show, before the first commercial break, before the second commercial break, before the third commercial break. If the highlight doesn’t “come up next”, isn’t this false advertising?

NBA pre-season is hard to draw lessons from, but….ahem…..this year is gonna be just nuts. The Cavs 116-94 pre-season victory over the Wizards last night was remarkable for the following.
- The Cavs allowed 41 points in the first quarter. Bad. They allowed 53 points in the final three quarters. Very, very good. Mike Brown is serious about this defense talk.
- Lebron James played only 25 minutes…when was the last time that happened?
- And get this…LUKE JACKSON scores 12 points, goes 4-8 from the field, 2-3 from the 3-point arc. If we got Luke Jackson playing well, that’s just sick.
