We hit on the wackiest MLB disabled list stories that hit the news recently as well as the great ones from years past. The passing of George Steinbrenner was discussed including the million dollar question…what if “The Boss” took over the Cleveland Indians back in the 70s?

Former Cleveland Cavalier Jim Chones had some choice words for LeBron James. (Katie Brinager/DSS)
We had former Cleveland Cavalier and current radio personality JIM CHONES on our July 10th show live from Ganley Volkswagen/Subaru in Bedford. Our main topic was Jim’s reaction to LeBron James leaving to play for the Miami Heat.
Chones had some choice words on the situation. He also hit on the state of the Cavaliers roster and what the Cavs should and could do to improve their chances for next season.
Jim played with the Cavaliers from 1974 to 1979. He was a part of the “Miracle at Richfield” in during the ‘75-’76 season. Jim went on to win an NBA Championship with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1980. Jim now does postgame analysis on WTAM 1100 following Cavs games and does some analyst work for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Sports Illustrated's May 17th Cover with Shaquille O'Neal. SI feature story written by Chris Ballard.
The cover story of this week’s Sports Illustrated. SI Senior Writer Chris Ballard focuses on the changed persona and player that came to Cleveland during the off-season. I had the chance to interview Chris about his article and the interview was played on May 15th’s DSS. Below is a look into the article if you haven’t read it yet.
Ballard looks at a couple of the factors that have gone in to Shaq’s metamorphosis since arriving in Cleveland. Once regarded by his critics as lazy and not living up to his potential, Shaq is losing weight.
Ballard writes: “You stare at the plastic bottle. That couldn’t be…could it? ‘Yup, V8,’ O’Neal says, his voice in a low rumble. Really? V8? This is not the drink of the Baddest Man on the Planet, an icon with championships to win and nightclubs to plunder and a world to cradle in his wrinkled brown palms. Yet here he is, a man who used to dine on 48-ounce steaks and wash them down with 24-ounce steaks, cradling this tiny vessel of vegetable pulp.”
Furthermore, Ballard describes how O’Neal has been used relatively infrequently during the playoffs and has looked either 28 or48 during his playing time. But, through all of this, O’Neal has not lost sight of his original goal when coming to Cleveland: provide the King with a Ring.
Chris and I also discussed LeBron James and his awful performance in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics. Also discussed Shaq’s future, his time in Cleveland, where LeBron might end up next year, and also other NBA news.

IAN EAGLE can do it all. He calls NFL games on CBS. He announces New Jersey Nets games for the YES Network. He even has his own Sports Broadcasting School. He never met a game he couldn’t announce.
I spoke with him on a lot of topics. The Cleveland Cavaliers, the state of the NBA Slam Dunk contest, LeBron James, the New Jersey Nets, the Cleveland Browns, Mike Holmgren, and some of his favorite moments while announcing.
Some highlights from the interview: “Do Cleveland Browns fans blame me for their dismal seasons?” “The NBA will seriously consider getting rid of the Slam Dunk contest.”

Grant Long (NBA.com)
Covering the Cleveland Cavaliers gives me the chance to watch and talk with one of the best NBA players ever in LeBron James. But imagine being GRANT LONG, former NBA player and current Oklahoma City Thunder TV Analyst. He gets to watch one of the up and coming stars in Kevin Durant.
I had the chance to speak with Grant on the Cavaliers, LeBron James, his time in the NBA, the transition from player to broadcaster, Durant, and the Thunder’s season so far.

Hmmm...I wonder if she has a future in coaching...
I recently interviewed LINDSAY McCORMICK who is a writer for ESPN’s The Magazine Page 2. We talked about everything sports, including college football, the NFL, Tim Tebow, her favorite interview, and getting the chance to do what she loves, which is cover sports.
