      Tea leaves point to LeBron signing with the Knicks?

      July 7, 2010 /

      We can file these in the ‘for what it’s worth’ category…

      Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer shared the location of LeBron’s “Decision Show” on his Twitter feed:

      Newsday is reporting LeBron will do show from Greenwich, CT. Guess technically it’s not New York, just a suburb.

      FWIW, I have been told several times location is not indication of decision. But this whole thing is shades of gray.

      CNBC reports MSG (Knicks parent) stock futures way up today. Trading of it has tripled.

      It would be strange for LeBron to announce in a NY suburb that he’s going to re-sign with the Cavs. Then he’d miss out on all the adulation from his fans in Ohio. This seems to indicate that he’s headed to New York or New Jersey. The bit about MSG is probably the most compelling sign. Follow the money…follow the money…

      From Jared Dudley’s Twitter feed:

      Sources tell me LeBron will announce that he will be goin’ to the Knicks tomorrow on ESPN. This is serious.

      That’s what I’m hearing.. I don’t care where he goes lol.. I personally thought he would stay in Cleveland..

      I wonder if his source is Amare Stoudemire, his former teammate.

      And really for what it’s worth, Chad Ochocinco chimes in as well:

      *Empire State of Mind* *wink* *wink*only the smart folk will put this together and figure out what i am talking about #6

      Then there’s Ric Bucher, who throws some cold water on the idea:

      Rumors of NYK having legit shot at LeBron or him going to Mia seem like an attempt by LRMR to create suspense for Thurs show.

      An NBA exec: “Who does a 1-hour special on how you just ripped the heart out of your hometown?” Now a 1-hr special on why you stayed…

      The Knicks have always been the biggest upside/downside for LeBron. If he’s able to bring a title to New York, he will effectively own the city. With Amare Stoudemire already locked up, he has an All-NBA running mate and in Mike D’Antoni, he has a coach who can make best use of his considerable skills in the open court.

      Of course, if Dudley’s source is mistaken, the location of the ESPN announcement and Ochocinco’s tweet could also mean LeBron’s headed to the Nets. (Jay-Z wrote “Empire State of Mind.”) Would LeBron diss good friend Jay-Z and sign with the Knicks?

      What are the odds that this is all stays hush hush through tomorrow?

      “Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch” ready for shooting

      May 31, 2010 /

      Only Chad Ochocinco could take 85 women that want to date him, narrow that list down to 16 and then pair them in a March Madness-type bracket in order to choose one lucky winner. But he’ll be doing just that in his new reality TV show, “Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch.”

      The Cincinnati Enquirer has the ridiculous details:

      Ten episodes will be shot by June 30. “Ultimate Catch” premieres 9 p.m. July 11, and airs through Sept. 12, the first Sunday of the NFL season.

      Eventually 16 will live together in a huge Los Angeles mansion. Ochocinco will pair the women in an NCAA basketball tournament-type bracket, and date those two together. One will lose and go home, the other will advance, in each episode.

      Bengal fans will be happy to know that none of this will affect Ochocinco’s day job as a football player, because apparently the producers are working around his schedule. We wouldn’t want Chad missing any camps or team meetings because he needed to determine whether or not the No. 9 seed was going to knock off the No. 8.

      I hate reality TV shows, but this is one I may actually watch just so I can hear his commentary.

      Top 10 active NFL receiving yardage leaders

      May 22, 2010 /

      The NFL has become a pass-first league, and with that, wide receivers and tight ends have become more important than ever—not just in west coast style offenses but in all offensive systems. Here we take a look at the current active leaders in receiving yards. Being that most of the guys on this list are nearing the twilight of their respective careers, you shouldn’t use this as part of your fantasy football research. Instead, just read and enjoy…..

      1. Isaac Bruce, free agent (15,208)—He doesn’t have the flash or the mouth that some of these other guys have, but it didn’t hurt that Bruce played on those great Kurt Warner/Mike Martz Rams’ teams about a decade ago. And he still has skills, so someone is bound to sign the guy.

      2. Terrell Owens, free agent (14,951)—This guy DOES have the mouth but the skills to back it up. I’m kind of surprised he is team-less right now, but that should also change soon.

      3. Randy Moss, New England Patriots (14,465)—That season he and Tom Brady put together in 2007 was absolutely ridiculous (1423 yards, NFL record 23 TD catches). And Moss is only 32!

      4. Torry Holt, New England Patriots (13,382)—Sure, he’s getting up there in age and fell off a lot numbers-wise in Jacksonville, but he’s still got something left. It should be especially interesting to see Holt and Moss playing in the same offense.

      5. Tony Gonzalez, Atlanta Falcons (11,807)—Arguably the greatest tight end to ever play the game. Gonzo has four seasons with over 1000 yards, almost unheard of for a TE.

      6. Muhsin Muhammad, Carolina Panthers (11,438)—Like Bruce and Holt, Muhsin Muhammad has quietly put up numbers for years, and his 2004 season for the Panthers remains his best (1405 yards, 16 scores).

      7. Derrick Mason, Baltimore Ravens (11,089)—All Derrick Mason has ever done in his career with Tennessee and Baltimore is get open. He’s topped 1000 yards three straight seasons on the run-first Ravens, and is the epitome of toughness and durability despite being just 5-10, 190.

      8. Hines Ward, Pittsburgh Steelers (10,947)—He’s consistently one of the game’s Top ten receivers, but how will he fare with Big Ben out for a few games to start the 2010 season?

      9. Joey Galloway, Washington Redskins (10,777)—Galloway resurrected his fine career with Tampa from 2005 to 2007, and is really in the twilight of his career after struggling in Tampa and New England the last two seasons, respectively. Now he’s trying to latch on with the new-look Redskins.

      10. Chad Ochocinco, Cincinnati Bengals (9952)—One of the game’s most animated players is also one of its best receivers year in and year out. And it’s always good to be able to back up the talk.

      Bengals interested in JaMarcus Russell?

      May 12, 2010 /

      While he may have only been trying to create a stir, Bengals’ receiver Chad Ochocinco said via his Twitter page yesterday that he would see JaMarcus Russell in camp. He then followed that up with: “did I just leak that info?”

      Today, the Cincinnati Enquirer notes that the Bengals are one of several teams that have called about Russell, although the quarterback’s agent issued a “terse no comment” when asked about the rumor.

      As of right now, it doesn’t appear that Russell has plans to join any team during their mini-camp. He and his agent will likely wait to see what teams are interested and then figure out where Russell will have to put in the least amount of work and then sign with that team. After all the effort he put in with the Raiders, there’s no need for him to overextend himself when he gets to his new team.

      If he winds up with the Bengals, at least Carson Palmer would be there to show him how a quarterback is supposed to work. I’m not sure how beneficial it would be to put Russell on the same team as Ochocinco, but I’m sure the Bengals don’t care. That organization is a circus anyway.

      Ochocinco bashes Colin Cowherd on Twitter

      March 10, 2010 /

      After ESPN’s Colin Cowherd made some upsetting comments on a recent radio show about Chad Ochocinco, the Bengals’ receiver unleashed a barrage of verbal attacks on the host via his Twitter page.

      From the Huffington Post.com:

      According to Out of Bounds, “Cowherd said something to the effect of ‘70% of NFL and NBA players are broke within 5 years of retirement,’ and used Ochocinco’s name as part of his point.” Ochocinco did not take the mention lightly.

      In a series of tweets, Ochocinco urged Cowherd to “just say I don’t like this black guy!!” He proceeded to tell the host that “your girl is cheating on you” and suggested that Cowherd “try EXTENZE,” the “male enhancement pill” most recently pitched by former coach Jimmy Johnson.

      Note to self: Never piss off Ochocinco because the man really knows how to use Twitter to make a point.
