The city of Miami hasn't had a reason to sit through inflated ticket prices and massively inflated concessions for less than mediocre product.

I was a Marlin fan until Jeter pulled the crap he did by cleaning house of the good players for nothing and having the audacity to demand people to come watch. Seems like the franchise is trash as a rule.

Yeah I'm not the biggest Jeter fan, but I'm with the fraction of the fanbase that believes Loria left us in a tight spot. I support them just because I want them to come around and do well.

I've tried but the constant middle finger to the fans made me a free agent.

Miami is a horrible sports town. Not just for the Marlins.

Edit* I don’t want my comments to come off as me taking up for Marlins ownership because I think it’s garbage how they run that franchise.

God that was great. What a time to be alive.

That and the Codyg/ Mitch Mustain debacle were probably two of the best things to ever go down on this site.

I started to bring up Codygs Mustain fiasco earlier. Lord that boy got roasted, the best part was when he started saying his little brother had hijacked his account and posted thst stuff.

His letter to Scroggins was just ......

Dear Jesse,

I know you are struggling with your decision. I just want you to know I wish you well wherever you play, but my heart will break for you if you announce Trojan. We love you in Tennessee. You would be our hero....

But I watch you and I think you do what it is you do as good as it's ever been done.....

We love Lane Kiffin and the brass he has brought to this battle....

But most of us will love you and want well for you. That's just the kind of people that live here in Tennessee. I'm sure your mom's family knows something about that.....

I hope I see you on campus sometime so I can shake the hand of a man that is getting set to play big time NFL ball. You got it in you, bro, you just have to take advantage of all your opportunities. Work your hardest whatever it is you are doing. At Tennessee You will get first team reps your freshman year and there is a real possibility of winning that starting QB job. The longer you do it at a high level, the better your chances are for the millions that come with playing at the next level. We love you Jesse.

I never watched that but you reminded me of one of the greatest sitcoms of all time...The Golden Girls. Seriously, don’t hate guys, that show is legit. I still watch it sometimes. Watching Dorothy make fun of Rose never gets old.

Josh Belk talks decision to leave Clemson, and the schools that have reached out

USC was high on Belk's list, and at one time his favorite, before he committed to Clemson in January of 2017. Speculation, of course, is running high that Belk will just simply go right to USC.

"No sir, I'm still looking," Belk said. "I'm still talking to my family and praying and making sure everything falls into place."

He said he's not sure yet if he'll visit USC and Tennessee again. Of course, he's been to USC multiple times. Some of his other offers coming out of high school were LSU, North Carolina, NC State, Florida State, Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Auburn and Florida.

Belk said he will wait until August before enrolling at his new school. Between now and the, he plans to keep himself in football condition.

From a poster on VQ...

Jordan vs LeBron


Updated after Lebrons 14th season. Michael Jordan has:

•3 more rings

•3 more final mvps

•1 more DPOY

•1 more season MVP

•9 more scoring titles

•3 more steals leader

•3 more all defensive team selections

•4000 more points / bron moved past him in playoff points, but it took him longer.

•800 more steals

•Beat 20 50+ win teams in the playoffs (Lebron only defeated 10)

•Jordan never averaged less than 40% Field Goal in the finals

Lebron did it twice

•6/6 (never allowed a game 7)

•Lebron had much more offensive help, example:

Jordan never had a teammate average more than 22 points in the finals.. In fact, Mj is Only player in NBA history to lead a team to the championship with only one teammate averaging double figures in scoring

* In the Bulls’ 1997 playoff run, Scottie Pippen averaged 19 points per game on 42% shooting. All other teammates of Jordan averaged under 8 points per game

Kyrie averaged over 28 and DWade averaged more than 26

•MJ never ever had a finals meltdown like Lebron in 2011 against the Mavs

•MJ had more points in the playoffs in less games..

MJ accomplished all of this in 13 seasons

Lebron after his 14th season, is still chasing the “ghost (GOAT) that played in Chicago”

•Michael Jordan in the playoffs has put up atleast 40ppg, 5rpg, 5apg in 6 different playoff series. Along with an average of about 55% shooting, 3spg and 2bpg.

(86 vs bos, 89 vs cavs, 90 vs philly, 92 vs Miami, 93 vs Phoenix, 88 vs cavs) Jordan won every one of those matchups except for the 1986 matchup vs the celtics.

•Jordan in 88-89 averaged 32ppg, 8apg, 8rpg, 3spg off 54% shooting. LeBron has never even came close to this stat line.

•in 87 thru 92, MJ averaged 5 straight seasons of atleast 51% FG shooting. LeBron has never done this.

•the lowest FT% MJ ever shot in a season was 78%. Lebrons highest in a season ever is 78%.

•MJ has a higher playoff FG% of 48.7% to Lebrons 48.3%

•MJ has a higher playoff player efficiency rating of 28.6 to Lebrons 27.3.

•MJ shoots a higher playoff 3 point percentage of 33.2% to Lebrons 32.9%

•LeBron James has scored 30 points, 416 times in 1,117 games.

Michael Jordan did it 562 times in 1,072 games.

Jordan won 6 championships without losing a final in 1,072 games and LeBron in 1,117 games has lost 5 times and has only won 3 times (updated 2018)

•MJ also shocked the league by being the first (and only) player to have 100 blocks and 200 steals in the same season, then turned around and did it again the next year..

•Mj also has more career blocks (893) than Lebron James (853) despite playing in 22 LESS career games and being the smaller guy.

Also, MJ averaged 1.6 blocks per game in the 1987-88 season which is absolutely bonkers for a 6’6″ shooting guard.

Seriously this list can keep going. This isn’t even a debate. Mj is the GOAT.

MIchael Jordan:

•NBA record 5 playoffs series’ averaging atleast 40ppg

•Only player in history to lead league in scoring and win DPOY

•Only player in NBA history to lead the league in scoring and win the NBA championship MORE THAN ONCE in the same season

* He did this SIX TIMES!! (1990–91, 1991–92, 1992–93, 1995–96, 1996–97, 1997–98)

•One of two players in NBA history to score 3,000 points in a season: 3,041 points scored in 82 games played (37.1 ppg) (1986–87)

* Wilt Chamberlain is the only other player to achieve this.

•MJ is also the only player in NBA history to score over 40 points at age 40, and he did it twice!

•In 1988, MJ earned: Dunk Champ, All Star Game MVP, NBA Scoring Title, League MVP and Defensive Player of the Year.
