This “LeBron Back To Cleveland In 2014″ Rumor Isn’t Going Anywhere, Is It?

1. So… is there a chance this “LeBron goes back to the Cavs” thing actually happens?

Let’s go a little longer on this one. I’d have said no after the first couple times I’d seen the rumor. When it first popped up, he hadn’t won a title yet. I figured it would inevitably die out as LeBron built a legacy for himself with the Heat and the Cavs continued to languish. But… it didn’t. It persists, even with LeBron in a radically different place career-wise than he was a year ago. I still don’t think it’ll happen, but surely that desire to make the biggest possible splash still lurks within LeBron – as does the desire to make it right with the fanbase he turned against him. Stay tuned. [SLAM]

4. Ravens LB Brendon Ayanbadejo is sorry he tweeted mean stuff about the Pats.

Will it keep Belichick from ordering deep bombs if the Pats are up 70-0 with three minutes left? Fat chance. [Larry Brown Sports]
