“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Ray-Ray McCloud.)Tennessee (Best recruits:Drew Richmond, Kyle Phillips, Khalil McKenzie and Alvin Kamara.) Georgia, Auburn, LSU, THE Ohio State and Texas A&M. Half of those schools have had coaching changes since that signing day. (Clay Helton was named the full-time head coach in November 2015.)Two of the top five had miserably disappointing seasons last year. Yes, three of the four teams in the college football playoff as well. So yes, getting the players is the starting point, but man getting talent and wasting talent will get you fired quickly. LeBron and Cavs debacleThe Cavs are a dumpster fire. LeBron and the Boys had a 21-point lead and got smoked in the second half by a terrible Orlando team. The wheels have come off.LeBron was even asked about waiving his no-trade clause after the game, and he said he would never do that to his teammates. (In truth, we believe LeBron is unwilling to waive that trade clause because of what it would mean down the road. No not to LeBron and future earnings. Rather, LeBron would seemingly be willing to sacrifice the extra millions he could get by resigning with a new team for the assets it would cost his new team in the trade, if that makes sense.) Stink, because we'll ask this: Would Lebron James being willing to waive his no-trade clause be the most interesting thing that could possibly happen in sports during the next 24-plus hours?OK, let's clarify. We must take all deaths off the books. And cheating/sexual scandals, because let's be honest, after the Michigan State stuff, 'interesting' is not the right word.Which brings us back to LeBron and the talking point of his no-trade clause. Multiple teams have, according to this story, inquired about whether LeBron would waive his no-trade clause. It makes sense. The Cavs are free-falling. Other than James, that roster is a first-round flame-out waiting to happen. It also makes sense for the Cavs to look to deal James. He's a free agent at the end of the season. The team rightly does not want to deal the unprotected Nets' No. 1 pick. (As of right now that pick is a lottery pick but is only three wins ahead of Atlanta for last place. Tanking Fever, catch it.)It also makes sense for LeBron. He can craft where he wants to go. Heck, he likely could craft a deal that would include a spot for BFF Dwyane wade, too.)This Cavs structure is broken. LeBron hates owner Dan Gilbert and vice versa, regardless of the chance each presented the other for redemption. It's done. And LeBron is headed somewhere.But if he would agree — and the construct of a deal could be woven — would that not behoove both sides. And then, as we become a sports culture that loves the transaction more than the action — and that's a discussion all to itself — LeBron James on the trade block would be awesome sauce. Period. End of discussion.(And here's hoping the Spurs... (Chattanooga Times Free Press)
Senate Joint Resolution 5, the proposal from state Senate Republicans for a new approach to congressional redistricting in Ohio, makes a mockery of the word "reform." Unless it gets a bipartisan rewrite, SJR 5 belongs in a Statehouse wastebasket. The proposal would be a finalist were there an Academy Award for cynicism.First, with a chance that a Democrat might be elected governor this fall, it proposes to leave Ohio's governor, whoever she or he is, on the sidelines, eliminating a potential check on out-of-control gerrymanders that favor one party. And as state Sen. Vernon Sykes, a black Akron Democrat, observed, SJR 5 also would give Republicans a lever to try to split Democrats based on race by allowing - at least as the state legislature currently is constituted - a redistricting plan to pass with only the votes of Democrats of color. "It divides the minority party along racial lines -- it's distasteful," Sykes said on cleveland.com.Ohio Republicans propose changes to congressional redistricting; Democrats say it won't end gerrymanderingThird, SJR 5 would make it easier for the GOP...

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Approaching the end of another summer marked by a substantial algal bloom in Lake Erie's western basin, environmental and conservation groups released separate reports Tuesday that came to the same conclusion:Ohio, Michigan and Ontario are falling far short in their efforts to reduce and eliminate the seasonal menace."The longer we wait to start putting algae-causing, pollution-reduction measures into practice, the worse the problems will become," said Kristy Meyer, vice president of policy for the Ohio Environmental Council.The harmful algal bloom continued this week in Lake Erie's western basin, as seen from a satellite photo.Photo courtesy of NOAA Meyer was responding to a new report released Tuesday, "Rescuing Lake Erie: An Assessment of Progress," that examines how Ohio, Michigan and Ontario are responding to the goals of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement they signed two years ago.The agreement committed the states and Canadian province to reduce phosphorus...
