It's only Tuesday...

And this week's news has already been tragic and full of drama.

LeBron James

In his attendance of fellow NBA player, Carmello Anthony's wedding on Saturday in New York to television personality Lala Vasquez, he was booed by several Knicks fans. What a way to steal the shine from the bride and groom, huh? They[Knicks fans] will get over it!

Also, Dan Gilbert, owner of James' former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, was threatened by commissioner David Stern about a fine for his comments on James' departure. His threat was more like a promise, seeing as how Stern fined Gilbert shortly after by $100,000 dollars. That sounds pretty steep for most of us, but probably not much for him. I bet it was just enough to make him cease with his comments, though.

George Steinbrenner
A controversial owner of a different sports team, baseball, has passed away. The owner of the New York Yankees, George "The Boss" Steinbrenner died today, Tuesday, July 13, at age 80. Read more about him.

Bishop Walter Hawkins
A Gospel great, Bishop Walter Hawkins passed away on Sunday at age 61. He recorded so many touching and uplifting songs over the course of his short life, inspiring several of today's younger artists within the gospel genre. Read more about him.

We'll see what the rest of the week bears for us..hopefully good news!=)
