Its time for Nick to sit back and stop fooling people into thinking he cares enough about playing to play with a hangnail! Retire already and stop the mind games!
Florida Marlins: N. Johnson, Calero classified type B free agents
Every year the Elias Sports Bureau classifies free agents as type A or B based on their stats from the previous two seasons. Teams that offer arbitration to those players and lose them are entitled to draft pick compensation. Of the Marlins four free agents, Nick Johnson and Kiko Calero are the ...
Diva runs this team and is going to screw this franchise up! Wait till someone waves enough Benji's at him and he is gone and we will be stuck with his mess! Riley has to get us a coach and it is NOT Wade!
Richardson follows the bouncing ball
Somehow, you wouldn't think that starting a 6-foot-6 small forward would provide the answer to rebounding questions. Yet Quentin Richardson has proven to be just that. Despite going undersized at the small forward, the Heat ranks eighth of the 30 NBA teams in rebounding differential, at plus-2....
Juan, you can think for yourself, You don't have to like what the management team can afford! St Claire is cheap, end of story! Thats the only reason they want him! He sucks! We do not need their rejects!
Florida Marlins: Bryan Price out, Randy St. Claire in?
The Marlins seem to be finishing second a lot lately. They couldn't entice John Smoltz to sign with them over the Cardinals when he became a free agent last season. Brad Penny headed for San Francisco rather than make a return engagement in South Florida. Now, Bryan Price has opted to become the...
The Hang-Nail Heat needs to get tough! This is one Wussy team! Embarrassing!!!
Continuity? Not even close for Heat
The countdown is about to begin, with Sunday just 10 days before the Oct. 28 regular-season opener against the New York Knicks. Yet since the preseason opener, back on Oct. 5, the Heat has not had its projected starting lineup intact, let alone any semblance of a rotation. Granted, injuries hav...

The Hang-Nail-Heat still have more wa-wa's than players! Bring back people who want to play!
Heat 97, Hornets 81
Observations from Thursday's 97-81 exhibition victory over the Hornets at the Sprint Center in Kansas City: Dwyane Wade returned after missing two games with a muscle strain in his ribcage. He hit a 3-pointer on his first attempt from the field and moved the ball well, with five first-quarter...
The "Hang Nail Heat" are really a bunch of WUSSEYS! "Oh, I got kicked on the foot", Let me rest for a week! "Hey I jammed my wittle thumb, Can I west a while too"? These guys are Highly Paid pretenders! Mommy needs to tell them to "Butch Up"!
Magic 90, Heat 86
Observations from Wednesday's 90-86 exhibition loss to the Magic at Amway Arena: With Udonis Haslem (pictured below defending Dwight Howard) again in quick foul trouble, Michael Beasley got plenty of time at power forward, after again starting at small forward. Haslem fouled out with 10:16 to...
Oh God! I just noticed a couple of plastic bags in my place! I am calling the IRA patrol to find out who is on Weed or maybe even some of that white stuff IRA! Call out the press and I will give you my employers, name so you can start an Investigation! This is the biggest bunch of BS I have seen! Damn IRA, when you don't like someone, you are brutal!
Beasley's tweets resonate before going silent
For the second time in less than a month, Heat forward Michael Beasley is out of the Twitter business, this time, perhaps, for good. Beasley's latest Twitter account, GorillaBeas, disappeared sometime overnight Saturday.That was shortly after he self-posted a photo (seen below) of a new "SuperCo...
Ira is not smart enough to pull a Beasley! Maybe thats why he dislikes him so much!
An escape hatch with Joel and Jamario
When it comes to free agency and the salary cap and the luxury tax, all is not always as it appears. That, in particular, is the case with Heat restricted free agents Jamario Moon and Joel Anthony. At roughly...
I would much rather have Beasley than Kaman! 10/8 is Haslem like numbers! Get us a coach first then start thinking about filling the gaps!
A pointed approach by the Heat
A couple of signs point to the Heat being more locked-in at point guard than it might appear. Foremost, the Heat apparently paid $1.5 million to trade up for the No. 42 pick and secure the second-round rights to point guard Pat Beverley. What makes the figure...
I wish Ira would get something to report! He is making me sick tryng to get Riley to trade Beasley. Come on Ira I know you can do better! Maybe you should move over to football, they onjly have about 100 guys over there fanning the trade fires! Noone in this years draft crop could hold Beasleys' Jock!
Did the Heat offer Beasley for No. 2? (Updated!)
In the wake of the NBA Draft, you start to hear rumors about what teams supposedly were attempting to do. Such after-the-fact stuff generally has little shelf life, either because the speculation is inaccurate or, by that point, meaningless. A...
Wait till the Refs get their meeting with the NBA, You will see that they want LaGod to win at all cost! The apologies can come after the game to cover the poor officiating but thats after the Magic gets put in their place (Behind LaGod). Game 3 was bad but game 4 will be TOO obvious!
NBA conference finals: A total thrill show
Apparently this past week is the NBA's apology for those who had to witness the fetid opening-round appetizer that was Heat-Hawks. Lakers-Nuggets and Cavaliers-Magic have been so compelling, instead of com...
The NBA wants "GOD" to win so badly, they will have a long talk with the refs before game4! It already looked bad in game 3 but LaGod lost anyway!
Draft bored: Mocking where the Heat currently stands
A few years back, the Heat paraded virtually all of its draft prospects in front of the media. So we got to ask D.J. Strawberry about his famous baseball dad, Glen Davis about his "Big Baby" moniker, Taurean Green about his local roots. This year, though, the wall of sile...
Arthur Rhodes is a good canidate for a trade! We could make a package deal of Maybin and FREDI!
Florida Marlins: Coghlan gets start at second, but earmarked for left
The Marlins are wasting no time getting their new addition into the lineup. Chris Coghlan will make his major league debut tonight against the Rockies at second base in plaace in regular starter Dan Uggla. The Marlins selected Coghlan from Triple-A New Orleans after placing right-hander Anibal S...
