I’m torn.

Not Rip Torn, the actor, but torn torn. Unsure torn. Conflicted torn.
Now that some of the dust has settled since LeBron James publicly spurned Cleveland for the oft-unfilled American Airlines Arena, I’m still not sure whether the move was a) good for the league b) good for the fans or c) one I’m looking forward to watching. Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Chuck,
As I sit here on my sofa writing this, you’re probably out at a casino, golf course or ritzy, all-you-can-eat buffet somewhere, having the time of your life. But I have something other than cards, bunkers and food on my mind. Read the rest of this entry »
