Friday Fantasy News 9/11/09
Sep 11, 2009 Blog
I know it’s a slow news period, but I wish writers would find something other than the 2010 LeBron, Wade, etc. speculation to talk about. Scrolling through my set of blogs, it looks like those posts take up about 30% of all topics. Forget about next season, let’s play this one first. As with everything else that is always hyped up, it never delivers. LeBron will probably stay in Cleveland when they offer him the world, same with Wade. LeBron TV? Give me a break already. All of this pointless speculation of what will happpen a year from now will have all been for nothing, merely space filler because there was no other news available.
