The Miami Heat ended their losing streak by defeating the 2010 World Champion Los Angeles Lakers for the second time this season. And order is restored in the world. On Beyond The Game last week, I stated that it is too early for people to start panicking about the Heat. The NBA is comprised of two seasons (the playoffs being the 2nd season). Records get erased. I still have faith in my team. I am very close to finishing another in-depth article that I will soon be pitching to a law review for publication. This one will be based on baseball. I will give a better description in the future. Anyone else ordering the iPad 2 today? I am very excited to get my hands on one. Here are some stories I missed over the past week:
Football
- Referring to Arn Tellem, Wasserman stated, “I’m fortunate enough to get to call him a good friend” [Casey Wasserman: Why I Want an NFL Franchise in L.A.].

- Nice rap sheet on the attorney [Sources: Former Ohio State football player tipped Tressel to player investigation].

Basketball
- It all started with the recruitment of Kevin Walls [How Calipari’s Relationship With Worldwide Wes Began].
