Rumor Verified?

ESPN correspondent and Hall of Fame basketball player, Calvin Murphy, has come out and admitted to the Gloria James-Delonte West sexcapade rumor as being "absolutely" true. It should be noted that Murphy may not be the most credible source however as he's fathered multiple children with multiple women and had been accused of having "relations" with 5 of his 9 children. His case was thrown out of court, but is he credible enough for us to believe?

Did LeBron collapse under the stress of his mother getting down with his teammate and close friend? Perhaps. But at the end of the day, the NBA is a business and in any business you have to deal with the personal issues. Even if this rumor is true, it just means that the Cavaliers as a TEAM weren't able to rise above their circumstances and you can't say that the Cavs only lost because of this issue. The Cavs just weren't the better team, rumor verified or not.

First Post: Where Diamondbull424 Happens...

So... for some time now, I have been on different sports forums and on those sites my profile name is Diamondbull424. So I figured why not, by extension post my sports related opinions on this site via a blog? Makes sense. I shall warn you right now (prior to my posting) that I am a Baltimore Ravens fan and a Kobe (by extension a Los Angeles Lakers) fan. So my bias and analysis will tilt that way.

Also I figure once a week, I'll do an Around the Horn/Pardon the Interruption post. Since this is a sports blog, if you're following I'm sure you've heard of those shows. I'll take what they discuss and then briefly (I'll try to keep it brief) discuss my opinions on their topics.

Well that's all for now...
