Never to early? “It’s hard to imagine the Cavs repeating their 66-16 record of a year ago, or even their dominating 39-2 mark at home. Guys get hurt. The issues with West could linger, and that will mean more minutes for Daniel Gibson as the backup point guard — a spot where he sometimes struggles dribbling the ball up the court.
But this still may be the best Cavs team — ever.” [Terry Pluto]

Nooooooge! “The Bucs gave ole’ [Mike Nugent] the boot yesterday. Picked up at the start of the season, he signed a one-year contract and got the job after Matt Bryant was injured. He then managed to seize the opportunity and drill zero of his first four field goals of the season. Nugent added two misses on Sunday against the Skins (granted from 48 and 49) bringing his total to 2-of-6 over the Bucs first four games. Such was enough for Tampa Bay who sent him packing.” [Legend of Cecilio Guante]

Get beat by the Cavs, and leave all of your possessions: “Next Monday, the Cavs are scheduled to welcome Olympiakos, a Greek team from the Euroleague visiting the United States on a goodwill tour. But Olympiakos has more business than just basketball in Ohio and as wild as it may seem, there’s a chance they could lose everything they bring with them from uniforms to computers to travelers’ checks.
If it sounds bizarre, it is.
On Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Cleveland, Judge Christopher A. Boyko cleared the way for old American creditors of Olympiakos to attempt to collect more than $400,000 Olympiakos owes to an former American player’s agent from a five-year old lawsuit.The plaintiff, agent Tom McLaughlin, wants to have federal marshals seize everything they can that belongs to the club — including any currency and perhaps even the charter jet it will fly into town.” [Brian Windhorst]

That corn maze can’t be real.
Can we call it a maize maze?
Great, now we got aliens trying to woo Lebron in 2010
So what if someone did it for a famous Giants center fielder? Would it be a Mays Maize Maze?
The Cavs got to 66 wins last year while battling injuries and have a better team this year. I think we can expect better (as weird as it is to “expect” over 65 wins).
Chris M, can we do it in May? Because I think a May Mays Maize Maze amazes! I think they already caught on though, spelling it MAiZE.
@5 – hehe
@3 – its a real maze. Its located near Little Darby Creek, a few miles outside of Columbus.
