Otay, this was a longtime ago, as in prior to the NBA season start, as apparently one wood-bee disgruntled Cleveland Disc Jockey was so enraged by King James defection from the Cleveland Cavaliers… That he decided to hire a Witch Doctor to put a curse upon LeBron James upcoming season.

By now, it’s old news over the recently completed spate of Big Trades made just prior to the National Basketball associations trading deadline, with the biggest moves involving the blockbuster deal between the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks.

In what is quickly becoming something between self-parody and performance art, the Miami Heat lost another close game to a great opponent, dropping Sunday’s matinee against the Chicago Bulls 87-86.

As I’m assuming most of you know, today is the deadline for resolving the plight of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement which expires at midnight. (Actually 11:59PM Thursday, March 3rd) Yet I’m not expecting the two opposing factions to solve anything by tonight’s deadline, especially since the NFL Players Association had to sue the National football League Owners who’ve apparently socked away $4.0billion in revenues in preparations for an impending lockout, which the suit alleged the owners had conspired about since 2009. And I suppose its worth pointing out that the NFL (amongst other professional sports categories, i.e.; MLB, NBA & NHL) is currently awash with cash – as the NFL is presently generating $9.0billion gross revenues annually… Yet reportedly speculation suggests that the Lockout won’t get down to serious talks towards resolution until the end of summer, perhaps either late August or early September

In an interview with Larry McReynolds last week, Danica Patrick reportedly said she didn’t know the state in which Bristol Motor Speedway was located. So on Friday, Bristol Motor Speedway general manager Jerry Caldwell traveled from the mystery state to Daytona International Speedway, where he presented Patrick with a gift basket. The gift basket was in the shape of the state of Tennessee, so Patrick likely discovered that Bristol – where she’s signed up to race in a few weeks, by the way – is located in the Volunteer State
