1. LeBron didn’t do anything wrong by leaving Cleveland. Athlete’s do it all the time. BUT never under this circumstance, he was the King of Ohio and he threw it all away because he “wanted to take his talents to South Beach.” That was his choice to make and there’s nothing wrong with that. However it does show that he is number one and he feels no pity or love for Cleveland.

2. He is now a sidekick. He is content with being one Dwayne Wade’s team. He doesn’t have the killer instinct of players in the past.

3. Only time will tell when it comes to the LeBron legacy.

4. Check out this great parody.

We will not go quietly without a fight!

The reality of the situation is that FIFA does not allow political interference by the nation on the teams. Teams must not be operated by politicians and Nigeria is breaking a rule. However, the Nigerian President isn’t completely crazy. President Jonathan believes that there is some funny business going on within the organization of the national team. He suspects illegal funds are going into the organization and wants a full investigation. This wouldn’t be the first time something like this has happened. (Watch ESPN’s 30 for 30 “The Two Escobars.”) President has till Monday to revoke the suspension or the Nigerian’s are banned.

If Nigeria tries to appeal the ban on the suspension I believe FIFA will only ban them further.

The game was gut-wrenching but it seems like we didn’t have a chance. Ghana simply wanted the win more than we did and fought harder and longer. Their defense was amazing. The only goal we scored was a PK by Landon Donovan coming from a foal on Clint Dempsey. (I’m a fan Clint but it seemed like you spent the whole game on the ground. I need to go back and watch it because you were either flopping a lot or you got the snot beat out of you.)

Ghana had the weight of Africa on their shoulders, were the underdogs and beat us. They were younger, faster and hungrier. The goal we gave up in the beginning of the game was the killer. Ghana isn’t a huge scoring threat and when they stole the ball and went in for the kill it broke my heart. I knew that scoring on Ghana would be tough and it was.

Many people are calling for Bradley’s head but to be honest I’m not knowledgeable enough to know if we could actually get a better coach. Bradley made lineup mistakes, that’s for sure, but who could we get to replace him? In the end, I think Bradley didn’t put the right lineup out on the field and that mistake will haunt him. But he’s done a lot of things for the US team. I’m sure someone could replace him but the question is still who. I think the team did well, they could have advanced but weren’t able to strike. I’m proud of them but you have to give credit to Ghana for playing with heart and wanting it more.

Toy Story 3 has had a lot of hype since being announced. Not because Pixar has been showing off or bragging in any sort of way but mainly because we had not seen a Toy Story movie in 11 years. That’s right eleven. Toy Story came out in 1994, Toy Story 2 came out in 1999 and then out of the blue Pixar told us we had a third installment headed our way. So we have all been curious as to why we were getting a new Toy Story. Some people have been counting down the days to see the third and others have been dreading the day, afraid their beloved Woody and Buzz would be tainted by a horrible sequel. Could it be that Pixar–the amazing movie making machine–could finally be out of ideas and found the need to drag out a franchise that is their calling card?

The answer is a resounding no. I have already seen the movie twice. Because the first time I saw the movie I thought I was just blinded by bias. But after seeing it again I realized that it is that amazing. It started with a bang with Pixar’s new amazing short “Day & Night”, which is an inventive combination of 2D animation, 3D animation and sound effects. The short was brilliant and perhaps my favorite short they have ever produced. Toy Story 3 itself was superb. The movie picks up as a 17 year old Andy is off to college and has to decide what he should do with his old toys that he has kept in his toy box mainly because they were tough to part with not because he uses them.

The movies theme is incredibly simple: moving on. The theme works for Andy as well as his toys. Yet while the the movie is an incredible joy for children it seems as if the movie is speaking to the now young people that have cherished Woody and Buzz for the last 16 years. However, everyone that is going through a “getting older” stage in their life can relate. Usually when we are getting older we have to do new and scary things and we have to move on and lose parts of our younger selves that we do not want to part with. This theme resounds through our lovable cowboy protagonist, Woody. And because it’s through Woody we can all relate. It’s genius. It’s a little emotional at times. Once again Pixar is a movie plot genius because the have a plethora of characters from the last two movies and they even add about twenty or so new characters this time around but Woody is still the focal point of the plot. It keeps things simple and allows for the other characters to be great comic relief. (Don’t worry Buzz fans he gets a great sub-plot and is still an amazing part of the story.)

And as cerebral as it seems like I’m trying to make this movie sound it is still gut bustingly hilarious.There is one moment of the movie that Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles) makes the whole theatre laugh and keep laughing everytime he shows make up. Micheal Keaton is amazing as Ken, that’s right Barbie’s Ken. Ned Beatty, Timothy Dalton, Jeff Garlin, Bonnie Hunt, Whoppi Goldberg, Richard Kind, Kristen Shaal (of “Flight of the Conchords) and Javier Fernandez Pena (you’ll see) are the new comers in the already star studded cast.

Pixar’s done it again and while the movie has it’s small flaws, they are completely forgivable for everything that it does right. The story is amazing here and is an instant classic. Both kids and adults will relate to growing up and the pains it sometimes holds. Moving on is a part of life and it is often difficult but maybe not so much with a comfort movie like this. Let’s hope Pixar never grows up and continues to give us films that make us laugh, help us stay young and touch our hearts.

Now, I’m not trying to bash the Beach Boys, that’s not my motive. (I love rocking out to Barbara Ann.) But come on, if we’re putting an asterisk next to Barry Bonds homerun record for cheating, don’t you think Chuck Berry deserves a whole lot more credit for writing one of the most well known American pop songs?
