“I'm not a guy that has children and don't take care of them,’’ Truesdale said. “Shoot, I mean, had I known he was my child, he'd have been right there.”

Hopefully this guy was just quoted wrong. If not, it sounds like he's saying his son would have been right where he is had he known the son existed.

On Friday when photos surfaced of James and Green embracing, Green received some flak from Spurs fans for showing up to to Story nightclub. As it turns out, Green's move appears to be quite honorable. The 26-year-old Green, one of the best stories of the NBA Finals, only went over to James to congratulate him on a hard fought series. The two were teammates on the Cleveland Cavaliers for one season.

Stuttering in written word, that's a new on me. Perphaps he had a flashback to that old school R&B jam, "Don't mess with my toot toot".

Just read this article on Yahoo: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/miami-heat-greg-oden-break-lebron-james-legacy-160100498.html
"But with a lingering luxury penalty tax in place, it makes since financially to remove one of the players and save potentially a $20 million dent to the bottom line."
Since when does wording like that make sense?

Given the state of the English language, it actually makes perfect cents.

If you're Howard — if you want to be competing for titles yesterday and your future is tied to L.A. being able to rebuild around you — that matters. There are tons of reasons why the Lakers would never amnesty Bryant — and, according to Shelburne and Stern, the Lakers said they weren't considered it — but it's a question worth asking.

Might our expectations be too lofty for these professional writers?

According to Dunkleman, he one of the reasons he left the show was its "cruelty." "I agonized over it, really, but I quite honestly had a very difficult time with how cruel the show was. It really affected me."

It's okay vonnee. We mess up all the time. However, these are people who write for a living, the "professionals". They should be held to higher standard.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/07/17/george-zimmerman-trayvon-martin-jimmy-carter/2524809/

Trayvon's death sparked outcry over Florida's "stand your ground" laws and a national debate over racial profiling. State prosecutors argued during the trial that Zimmerman profiled and murdered the teenager, then lied about the Trayvon initiating the fight.

Lied about the what Pres. Carter? It seems like the writer is trying to stir up some more racial unrest by insinuating that Pres. Carter almost said the "N" word but caught himself.

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/08/02/19837279-supreme-court-orders-california-to-free-thousands-from-crowded-prisons?lite

In June, a lower court ordered California to release about 10,000 inmates — nearly 8 percent of all state prisoners — by the end of the year to improve to improve medical and mental health treatment. Gov. Jerry Brown last month asked the Supreme Court to delay the order, arguing that it would jeopardize public safety.

They must be working on vast improvements. sheesh

She said her husband of five years was in an argument with her and her father and had has hand on his gun, Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell told NBC News.

George Zimmerman is going to keep on until he ends up in jail or dead after all.

I pray he's exposed for who he truly is. It's already happening. This proves he's trigger happy and way too eager to be armed and threatening people... cut him out of the picture with his wife, and place him in the picture with Trayvon. Oh my. It's funny, the devil won't let you quit while you're ahead. After using you to destroy others, he's not satisfied until he destroys you, as well.
