Sports Thread For 7/28/10 (Final Version): Another Whining Big Wig Idiot & MLS All Star Game Wrap

Image
Just like with "Subprime Dan" Gilbert's embarrassing tirade towards LeBron James egressing from Cleveland, here is another top level office official making himself look like a whining fool (and hypocrite) for your very eyes to see. It is Toronto Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo in full whinny kid mode, bringing up dirt on Chris Bosh just because he is upset he left him for LeBron, Dwade, and Miami. "Despite limited swelling and any excessive damage on an MRI, he felt like he needed to sit for six more games ... I'm not even questioning Chris' injury. I'm telling you he was cleared to play subject to tolerance on his part, and the tolerance just apparently wasn't there and he chose not to play," Colangelo said. "The fact that our season was spiraling downward and we were hoping he'd come back sooner and we were also dealing with a few other things at that point ... we were really struggling there." Colangelo thinks that Bosh just ...

The LeBron Unappreciation Day Thread #3/Sports Thread #3 For 7/8/10: Thankfully, It Is Over

He was going to lose regardless of this decision. Regardless. He felt tight when he said he would go to South Beach, and the pressure of the moment really showed there. The special was pathetic, where when he finally announced the Heat, I did have the disgust that most have generated during the day for him. Initially, I thought it was unfair and ridiculous, those "he has sullied his reputation" quotes from those angry pundits on ESPN in the hours leading up to the decision. But I only would have disagreed with them big time if he had returned to Cleveland. And it turns out he didn't. (By the way, Jim Gray, I continue to have less and less respect for him just like everyone else. His legend of tool continues to grow and grow each and every day.) Now that I think of it, the fact that LeBron was adamant about wanting to win a title after he became more ensconced and loose signified how this was truly a basketball move first and from the heart. LeBron just wants t...

The NBA Silly Season Thread #1/Sports Thread #1 For 7/7/10: Chris Bosh Goes To Miami

From ESPLebroN. It is quiet amazing how the Toronto Raptors thought they could boss Chris Bosh around considering that Bosh was.......a free agent. You could understand if they were angry at Bosh for talking to LeBron and D-Wade if the Georgia Tech alum was in the situation that Carmelo Anthony is in (one year still on the books with Denver, meaning he is simply no free agent and is own still). But the fact of the matter is this: Bosh could do whatever the hell he wanted. I find it amazing that Larry Tanenbaum, Richard Peddie, and the rest of the chairmen of the Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Group would act so petty like that and not use simple common sense. Because of how they smeared Bosh and complained about him tweeting about his process (which by the way, were so harmless and just gave simple updates that basically the news had reported on anyway), they made it acrimonious with their now former power forward. Instead of potentially making Bosh feel a little better ...
