(Reported) ROY possibly to Cleveland? (Reportedly)


This image might look familiar! That's right! It's right below this post! Except now it's all Cavalier-ed!

That's right! THe Cleveland Cavaliers got another part of their LeBron James severance package from the totally fair and not at all fixed National Basketball Association in the form of the first overall pick. The Philadelphia 76ers sold their fan base on the idea that "the 3rd pick is good enough, plus we got that 10th pick too so we'll be just fine."

Well apparently the Sixers don't feel as fine as they let on, because they are reportedly trying to get that first round pick that they had so heinously stolen from them.

There has also been talk ever since the end of the regular season about the possibility of trading ROY and teen-heart throb, Michael Carter-Williams. Is this the time where it happens?

The QB Shopping Cart: Who's on the Market in 2014?



It's week 4 of the NFL season. We're at the quarter post and things are looking good for some teams out there. They do not look good, however, for my Washington DC Sqaud (0-3) or my fantasy team (1-2).

So! Like any wise Average Bro would do...I'm calling this glass half empty and looking toward next season!

Last year's QB class swept into the NFL and fell right into their respective slots, flowing seamlessly into their systems. This year's class seems to have accidentally slipped into their spots with no one really able to get them out. With all this new tumultuous upheaval, it leaves many (very) somewhat talented quarterbacks to wonder what could be next? And fans too. What could this force out of old regimes mean for the future of the league?

Flying without a Pilot: Washington Quarterback-less plans

It's 2011. The ESPN proclaimed "Year of the Quarterback". Arron Rodgers brought the current champions of football to the Lombardi Trophy despite a core of older veteran receivers and a slew of injuries. Tom Brady is such a great quarterback that he takes 5'9" Deion Branch and Wes Welker and makes them dangerous threats in the backfield. Drew Brees makes his receivers top fantasy prospects who, without him, would be 8th round picks at best. It would seem during this "pass-first" era in the NFL, the Quarterback would naturally be the main gun in any teams arsenal. Even in any era this would seem to be common sense.

So, for yet another season, Washington strives to work against common sense.

All In-dians? : Cleveland's High Hopes

As the trade deadline passes, many teams make out like baseball bandits in the market. I've been very happy with the goings on around the league. My Phillies scored Houston OF, Hunter Pence, without needing to give up young Dominic Brown or rookie RHP Vance Worley. And the Yankees did absolutely nothing. That's got the makings of great mid season trades in my book.
