In the end LeBron Choses Miami over Cavs and Knicks

Just to update our blog here at Cohen's Corner; the LeBron James saga is finally over.

After all of the speculation the last two years, culminating in a weeks worth of rumors James announced on ESPN that he would "take his talents to South Beach" to join the Miami Heat. It wouldn't have been possible without Dwayne Wade resigning with the Heat, as well as former Raptor Chris Bosh signing in FLA as well.

It had been rumored by Stephen A. Smith of ESPN before free agency ever began that this trio wanted to be together, and now they got their wish.

'The Decision' as it was called on ESPN dragged millions of people through the dirt, especially the city of Cleveland, whom James is a native of. Instead of staying loyal to his fanbase, and family, James decided that winning a title as a supporting cast member was more important than winning a title for Cleveland, a city that hadn't won a pro sports championship since 1964.

I think Cavs owner Dan Gilbert put it fittingly:

The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.

There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.

You simply don’t deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

“I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE”

You can take it to the bank (Yahoo Sports).

Talk about vendetta. LeBron better move out of Cleveland and fast, because it is a war zone over there. People were photographed burning James' jerseys in the streets as the announcement came. This has to be the biggest hit to Cleveland since Art Moddell moved the original Browns to Baltimore.

As for New York. Lets face it, LeBron never wanted to be on a loser like the Knicks and Nets. I am surprised that some New Yorkers feel like James stabbed them in the back too. The guy never ever wanted to be here. Admit it already.

In the meantime, James will form the next Big Three in Miami, and already the Heat are a favorite to win it all.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
