I feel as though Ibra's talent would be wasted on the MLS. The dude is coming off a season where he was the top goalscorer in all of Europe..... I want to see him go to the EPL or back to Serie A (perhaps with AC Milan).

I can't really remember, but I had read somewhere that there was no possibility of him going back to AC Milan. Can't really remember why though.

I do think MLS is beneath him, but he is 34 now and all sorts of financially set so maybe the lifestyle and dominance over here would suit him? Wouldn't mind seeing him make another push in La Liga or the EPL though

ESPNFC recently had an article in which Ibrahinovic hinted that he wouldn't mind a return to AC Milan. I don't know if they will get him but they are certainly in play.

You would think that being able to salvage broken plays and improvise on the court should lead to quick thinking...off the court?

So, effective May 18th, Time Warner Cable is merging into Charter Communications (which is reorganizing into Charter Communications New)

Anyone heard anything about whether or not our arena will be renamed? I haven't looked at the Charlotte Observer in months.

I assume it will be changed this summer. Charter is seemingly hell bent on removing all things TWC according to the Observer.

It would be nice if it was just "Spectrum Arena" or "The Spectrum". "Charter Spectrum Arena" isn't as cool.

We can't name it the Spectrum, right? I mean, that name should be reserved in Philly sports history. That'd be like naming our area the Forum.

Haha, perhaps. It's not there anymore though, right? I doubt Philly has a trademark on the word.

My wife and I start out first AT section hike tomorrow. 7 day trip starting at Springer and looking to get at least 75mi in before we have to cut out.

As soon as we get back we pack up, say goodbye to the Carolinas, and move to Florida. Gonna be a busy year for us

Have a nice and safe trip bro. Share us some landscape pictures if you don't mind

Well, Boston tried to steal "The Garden" moniker from us. They refer to TD Garden as "the Garden", even though everyone knows that "The Garden" means Madison Square Garden.

Holy bed head, Batman! I'm just glad Spencer Hawes didn't tell him to hairspray that and enter the game that way. He'd almost certainly poke someone in the eye on the court with all those protrusions.

Jeremy Lin is in Iceland and yesterday a 14-year-old kid spots him at an ice cream shop in Akureyri, northern Iceland. They ended up playing a 1-on-1 in the kids backyard.

Jlin lost 2-1, shot 1-for-3 (two bricks) and 1 turnover. LOL. Jordan would have beat that kid 10-0 and given him a bloody nose in the process.

JK, pretty cool from Lin.

I wonder if fans from other European countries are now tweeting pics of themselves because they're hoping Lin will visit their part of Europe after the Iceland thing

Gat-man!!! He couldn't have picked a more deserving piece of human garbage to dunk on as well.

(edit - just now read that the charges against Alvin were dropped - he still has other arrests though, not a good dude).
