No need for the dramatic music considering the Dream Team would have won by 30

I’m not even going to mention the Carmelo Anthony 360-alley-oop.
You just did.

I’m not even going to mention how good this comment is.

A better debate is the ’96 team against this team.

Shaq, Olajuwon and Robinson taking turns at center.

Why the sudden need for everything being qualified nowadays? Scared to be wrong or something?

Culpability. It gives the reporter a scapegoat should the information be invalid. The source was wrong then, not the reporter. It’s just a safety net.

Do you prefer, “We’ve been told…” instead “sources?”

Personally I like “Hey yo check this out”

I mean really “Sources: Revis reports to camp” is pretty easily verified. You dont need to hedge. Reporters have always had sources, that’s how things are written. Why the sudden need for everything being qualified nowadays? Scared to be wrong or something?

It’s a headline. Why the need to qualify at all? CJ

Oh, I mostly agree. “We’ve been told” is TBL’s way of doing it.

Are sources bribed by writers to spill the beans or is most of it team controlled but they just don’t want to fully tip their hand about stuff?

Also, ESPN’s front page has headlines from July 6. Is the internet coming apart at the seams?!?

Whenever twitter goes down, I feel jittery. Been trying to refresh the site countless times over past hour. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of twitter. Such a great tool.

Has there ever been any explanation for it?

Too many people re-Tweeting Adarn Shefter at once

Can’t watch this video, is it actually Jordan in the game or G#23, the greatest video game basketball player of our youth?
