So the Browns signed Kevin Barnes. A good depth signing that won't affect us still possibly getting Grimes.
Barnes if healthy can be a good nickle and even play a little safety.
Anyone remember this hit he had on Jahvid Best?

No. Jordan won 6 with 0 losses. Lebron would need to win 18 titles to just match Jordan

He's a dick for how he did the whole decision thing, however our team went crap when he left (duh) 2014 baby!

Magic just above all of that

Um. They are aware that he's hiv positive?
I guess HIV patients might need blood.
Isn't this a crime?
Pretty sure there are different types of strains or something that makes even that an impossibility. We had an HIV positive speaker in high school health class and the dude said he couldn't even bang his HIV positive girlfriend without wearing a rubber because they could still infect each other or some shit. Talk about suicide inducing situations.
That smile on his face :lol
It would be a crime not to. Not everyone is a selfish prick like Jordan.

I love how stupid NBA fans are.
Someone could put up the most inconceivable career by lightyears and people would still say Jordan is better. I'm not even true LeBron fan, but I admire his ability and the amount of hate he receives. He might not end up as the greatest but it is a gigantic disservice to preemptively deny him the possibility.
That is just straight up ignorance. I hope those people wallow in it, they deserve it.

No one in here. You are arguing with strawmen... unless you really think FMT believes LBJ has to win 18 championships to be compared with Jordan lol

You would be surprised by how many people legitimately feel that way.

But yeah, it is mostly a blanket statement. My roommate and a couple articles and comments Ive read really rubbed me the wrong way tonight.

lebron is a bitch for how he did the whole decision thing. i don't care if its cliche to diss on him for that. it was fucking lame and i can't ever look at him the same. i do agree that he does get too much over the top hate. but i do think he brought most of it on himself because no one treated him like this before he pulled that bullshit
p.s.
but he is an incredible player
That debate made me throw up in my mouth.

It's like the Brady>Montana debate. Everyone knows its true but a lot of people are too insecure to admit it.
fmt is going to shit on your chest. In a sexual manner.

Played Bioshock for 2 hours.
The plot hasn't gotten going yet but I miss the closed-in feel of Rapture.
Will play more tomorrow. Much more.
Edit: Nice pick Eznark, that's exactly who I would have taken.

Yep and that's where I stopped.
I loved the intro (first 20 minutes are perfect) but found putsing around Colombia to sap some of the momentum.
Really digging it, that's my only gripe atm.
If Bleacher Report is good enough for CNN it should be good enough for the unwashed masses!
In other News: LeBron James and the Miami Heat extend their winning streak to 27 straight games. Jordan jock huggers everywhere recoil in hatred.
He's no Chris Bosh when it comes to popping out of no where on the screen.
greatest team name ever.
This argument is invalid. If they were losing people would claim "ohh how can they lose they are so talented they have 3 all starts...blah blah blah"
They go on a historic run (already 2nd longest streak ever) and might break a record that has been held for 40 years and people try to find more ways to take credit away..."ohh the NBA talent isn't that great anymore....Jodran's 72 wins season was most impressive...LeBron ran over my children!"
BTW the talent is far more balanced today than it was even a decade ago. Half the teams in the Eastern Conference in the playoffs were below .500 then. Not the case anymore. Western Conference is stacked. League is full of stars. NBA isn't perfect and small market teams are fucked but the real good teams are really damn good. And Miami has beat all of them this season and a lot of them during this streak.
NBA fans, and particularly those who just compare everything and anything with Jordan are by far the dumbest and saddest fans on the planet. Its as if nothing existed before and nothing will ever match it.
Jordan has been the greatest and worst thing for the NBA now. No new player can be just themselves. The minute you show promise and you are a guard you get the MJ comparison and then the rest of your career if you don't live up to it, even if you are a HOF player, you are deemed unworthy. It makes discussing basketball painful. "Jordan did it this way....Jordan didn't do this...Jordan Jordan Jordan...."
I almost wish Jordan played in the internet age. People wouldn't like him as much as they do. LeBron, for now, is the cleanest off the court mega superstar the sport has seen and yet he is far more of a villain than Jordan ever will be. His marketing created this force field around him that no matter how much we learn about the guy makes people forget.
BTW LeBron and MJ are two completely different players with Bron being far more like Magic and a lot like something we haven't seen before.
I also love how MJ's last 2 years at NC and his years of failure with the Bulls before they finally won are completely glossed over. LeBron goes almost same # of years before he wins a title and he is already considered a failure for not having 10 rings by now.
Can't we just enjoy his current greatness and decide who was what when he finishes his career?
BTW I think the streak ends in SA this coming Sunday. They won't get the record.
Right that's why Jordan was called for all those travels, palming, and offensive fouls calls.
And oh yeah didn't Stern rig the lottery for the Knicks to take Ewing?
Excellent point, you've convinced me. The NBA has always been the WWF.
If you guys want me to get the fuck out just say so. No need to be sneaky about it and bring Jordan vs LeBron into the thread.
Also Ninja you will never be allowed in football heaven after saying what you just did about Tammy and Joe. When you die you are going to be given the choice of being a Browns or Lions fan while being raped by Big Ben 24/7.

MJ and LBJ should never be part of the same debate. Maybe 5-7 seasons from now when LBJ retires you can compare their total success (rings) but other than that they are two completely different players in how they play, what they do well on the court, and what era they play in. Anything else is asinine.
You are just a big meanie!

FV said he didnt want to run it, so I doubt it.
It would just be FutureVoid picking for 2/3's of the teams.
