I think the argument of NBA collusion is fascinating in that the three free agents weren't representing any one team. - David Jul 12, 07:55 5
- That's assuming that everything we saw was genuine and not for show - Gwaahjo Jul 12, 08:02
- Riley having Lebron meet with him and Jordan before free agency even started makes it collusion IMO -- nm - Beaker Jul 12, 07:58

        I don't dislike the title track (which is the only song I know by them) but it's kinda generic. - ty97 Jul 12, 07:58
        
        Lady Gaga's songs tell plenty of stories, they just aren't appropriate. -- nm - MDH Jul 12, 07:54
        
        heh -- nm - Epiphany Jul 12, 07:50
