Leadoff with Lee 12.13.15 #UFC194 #McGregor #Heisman #Bucks

By @cleeverizon

Derrick Henry from Alabama added another piece of hardware to his trophy case. After winning the Doak Walker and Maxwell awards Thursday night, Henry becomes the 81st winner of the Heisman Trophy. He has been compared to Eddie George, who in 1995 averaged 6.0 yards per rush, 152.2 rushing yards per game and 23 rushing touchdowns. This year in 2015, Derrick Henry averaged 5.9 yards per rush, 152.8 rushing yards per game and also scored 23 touchdowns.

First Place votes: Derrick Henry 378, Christian McCaffrey 290, Deshaun Watson 148, Baker Mayfield 34

- The 116th Army vs. Navy game took place yesterday, with the Navy Midshipman defeating the Army Black Knights 21-17. QB Keenan Reynolds of Navy scored his 85th career rushing touchdown. Most all time in DIV I history(FBS-FCS). Reynolds tied the previous record set by Adrian Peterson. He tied Peterson's record with a 58 yard touchdown run in the first quarter. In the second quarter he secured the record on a one yard scamper. Reynolds also set the school record for career passing touchdowns with 30.

- Penn State hired former Fordham head coach Joe Moorhead as their new offensive coordinator. Moorhead will replace John Donovan, who was fired the day after the team lost its season finale tat Michigan State.

- The Philadelphia 76ers are discussing adding Mike D'Antonio as associate head coach. D'Antonio could join the staff sometime within the next week or so.

- The Milwaukee Bucks snapped the 24 game win streak of the Golden State Warriors, defeating them 108-95. The two longest winning streaks in the NBA history (1971-72 Lakers 33, Warriors 28) were both snapped by the Bucks. The Warriors scored a season-low of 95 points. This was also the 1st game scoring less than 100 points this season and the Warriors average 13 three pointers a night were just 6 of 26 from behind the arc. Greg Monroe led Milwaukee with 28 points.

- Jose Aldo entered UFC 194 at 25-1 (7-0 UFC), and made his 8th defense of the UFC featherweight title and had a 18-fight win streak. But it was Conor McGregor who left as the new undisputed featherweight champion with a victory in just 13 seconds.

All I can say is, it was a two hit fight, McGregor hit Aldo and Aldo hit the ground. McGregor's 15-fight win streak is intact and hasn’t lost since November 2010. Aldo hadn’t lost for 10 years, since losing a lightweight fight in Brazil in 2005, and he was widely regarded as the sport’s best fighter. But there is going to be a new entrant in that discussion.

Leadoff with Lee 4.28.15 #KevinLove #ShaneRay #NBAPlayoffs #Indians

By @cleeverizon

Cavs forward Kevin Love has been ruled out for the Eastern Conference semifinals against the winner of the Bulls/Bucks series after suffering a dislocated shoulder and torn labrum.

The Cavs released the following statement last night:



The NBA has suspended Boston center Kelly Olynyk one game for the arm bar that caused Love's injury. Olynyk's suspension will be served during the 2015-2016 season since the Celtics are out of the playoffs.

Cleveland guard J.R. Smith also has been suspended two games for the hit he issued to Jae Crowder. That swing earned Smith a flagrant 2 by the refs and automatic ejection from the game. Also, Cavs reserve big man and enforcer Kendrick Perkins was issued a $15K.

- Another start for Corey Kluber, another loss for the Indians. Kluber relinquished 10 hits and 6 runs, 4 earned, through 6.1 innings in the Tribe’s 6-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Monday. The lone “highlight” of the game was Mike Aviles 2 run homer in the 5th to tie the game before the Royals poured in 4 more runs in the 6th and 7th innings. The Indians will give it another try tonight at 6pm as Trevor Bauer takes the bump against Jeremy Guthrie.

- Indians outfielder Nick Swisher is one step closer to returning to the big club. Swisher will join Class AAA Columbus in Rochester, N.Y. to continue his recovery from double knee surgery. Swisher will DH Tuesday and play right field Wednesday. He'll take Thursday off and play right field on consecutive days Friday and Saturday. Swisher is expected to return to the Tribe next week.

-The Texas Rangers acquired outfielder Josh Hamilton from the Los Angeles Angels for a player to be named later or cash. Hamilton, who turns 34 next month, struggled in two seasons after signing a five-year, $125 million contract with the Angels, who then sought to cut him loose after he admitted to a drug relapse in a February meeting with Major League Baseball officials.

-UFC fighter Jon "Bones" Jones has officially been named a suspect in a hit-and-run investigation. There were previous rumors of cocaine being found, which have been stated as false. A marijuana pipe, however, was found in Mr. Jones rental car involved in the investigation. Over the weekend, a woman was struck in a hit-and-run accident, and Jon Jones was identified by a police officer fleeing from the scene on foot. Jones is reportedly expected to be charged with a felony in connection with the hit-and-run.

- The Browns have reportedly have had talks with Washington over the past week about potentially moving up to the 5th pick. They’ve touched base with most Top 10 teams in this years draft.                  

- University of Central Florida Breshad Perriman had dinner last night in Orlando with General Manager Ray Farmer and other Browns executives. Perriman is 6’2” 215lbs and runs a 4.26 40 yard dash. In addition to visits Devante Parker and Amare Cooper and dinner with Breshad Perriman in Orlando, the Browns met with West Virginia receiver Kevin White the night before his pro day.

- Missouri Defensive lineman/outside linebacker Shane Ray was arrested for marijuana possession. The projected top 10 pick in this week’s NFL Draft was speeding in Cooper County. The Missouri State Trooper smelled the odor of marijuana (not burning) and some was found during a search. Ray was cooperative with the trooper and was released on a signature summons. He was given a warning for the speeding charge. His court date is set for June 30th. Ray racked up 22.5 tackles for loss and 13 sacks this past season for Mizzou. 

- The Brooklyn Nets tied up their series with the Atlanta Hawks at 2 games apiece after their 120-115 win in overtime. Deron Williams scored 16 points in the 4th quarter for the Nets and finished with 35 for the game. Brook Lopez added 26 points and 10 rebounds. Jeff Teague and Demarre Carroll each scored 20 points and recorded 11 and 9 rebounds respectfully for the Hawks. Kyle Korver had an off night, going 6/16 shooting and 4/13 on 3 pointers. Game 5 will be Wednesday in Atlanta.

-The Milwaukee Bucks upset the Chicago Bulls 94-88. Michael Carter-Williams scored 22 points, with 8 rebounds and 9 assists. Khris Middleton added 21 points for the Bucks.

The Bucks forced the Bulls to turn the ball over with their stifling defense 13 times, scoring 24 points off of them. The Bulls lead the series 3-2 with Game 6 on Thursday night in Milwaukee.

- The Portland Trail Blazers also staved off elimination, defeating the Memphis Grizzlies 99-92 behind Damian Lillard’s 32 points on 12/23 shooting (12 points in the 4th quarter) and 7 assists. LaMarcus Aldridge chipped in 18 points and 12 rebounds, with Meyers Leonard adding 13 points, 13 rebounds. On the Memphis side of things, Marc Gasol has 21 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Point guard Mike Conley missed the game due to facial surgery. Game 5 of this series will be Wednesday night, as Memphis tries to close out the series.

- The NCAA is considering changing the game shot clock from 35 seconds to 30 seconds. It's a minor step in improving gameplay, but definitely a step in the right direction.

Leadoff with Lee 4.8.15 #AdrianPeterson #Browns #Carrasco #NHL

By @cleeverizon

- Adrian Peterson could come off the NFL's Exempt List as soon as April 15th. But once he does he will still be the property of the Minnesota Vikings. Peterson along with his agent met with Commissioner Roger Goodell to clear the way for Peterson's return. But Goodell wants Peterson to go to NFL mandated counseling on top of the counseling that he has already received. The NFLPA and Peterson are opposed to the recommendation of the NFL counseling and state it's a violation of the collective bargaining agreement. As apart of Adrian Peterson's plea deal with the courts he agreed to parenting evaluations and drug tests, and meet with a psychologist and undergo counseling. Despite Peterson's agent Ben Dongra's comments that Peterson will not play for Minnesota again, at this point no trade talks have been discussed with other teams.

- Former Arizona Cardinals TE Rob Housler is visiting the Browns today in Berea. Housler is 6-foot-5, 250 pounds and will be the downfield pass catching tight end the Browns would be looking to replace Jordan Cameron. Housler also has visited the Falcons and Bengals.

- The NFL has suspended Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount for the season opener for violating the substance abuse policy. The suspension stems from Blount's arrest last year for marijuana possession while a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He started the 2014 season with Pittsburgh, but the Steelers released him in mid-November. After going unclaimed on waivers he signed a 2 year deal with New England, where he spent the entire 2013 season. No discipline has been announced for Steelers running back LeVeon Bell, who was also involved in the arrest.

- The Indians signed pitcher Carlos Carrasco to 4-year extension that could reach up to $48M, the deal is worth a guaranteed $22M. The righty's deal includes club options for 2019 and 2020.

- The New York Rangers topped the New Jersey Devils 4-2 to clinch the NHL's best record. The win also got them the 2014-2015 President's Cup and home-ice throughout playoffs.

- The Cavaliers will try to lockup the number 2 seed against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight. Tip off is at 8pm.

Whew…… that's a lot of bodies changing zip codes.

- The Big Ten Conference is considering ruling freshman athletes ineligible so that they could "adjust to college life". Assuming the title of "A Year Of Readiness", they are gauging interest from members and other conferences to find out the benefits regarding the discussion. Maryland president Wallace Loh told the Maryland student newspaper, "If they do well because they spend more time, get more academic advising their freshman year, they're going to graduate". Loh continued with "I think it's worth spending an extra year of financial support to ensure that they graduate".

Personally, this might be one of the DUMBEST ideas that has been floated around college sports in some time.

- The San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders have come up with a plan to build a shared $1.7 billion stadium in Los Angeles area Carson, California. The Los Angeles Times is reporting that both teams are looking for solutions to stay in their current cities while proposing the shared stadium plan.

- Last weekend at the box office saw "Fifty Shades of Grey" coming in at #1 and domestically grossing $81.6 million, despite negative reviews. Spy thriller "Kingsman: The Secret Service" came in at #2 with $35.6 million. Rounding out the top 5 were "The SpongeBob Movie" ($30.5M), "American Sniper" ($16.4M) and "Jupiter Ascending" ($9.4M).

Opening this weekend are comedies "Hot Tub Time Machine 2" and "The DUFF", along with Kevin Costner's latest sports drama "McFarland, USA". Will "Fifty Shades" remain on top? With 2 comedies being released and it not having the draw of the Valentines Day crowd, I believe it will be knocked out of the top spot.
