ASK IRA: Could Heat be simultaneously showcasing and highlighting Jimmy Butler?
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 11/26/2024 - 03:00 AM
Q: Jimmy Butler won’t ever have more value than he does right now. If they lose him for nothing in the offseason it is going to be a major setback for the organization.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 11/26/2024 - 03:00 AM
Is this Donald Trump’s joke on America? Why didn’t anyone give him a competency test before he ran again, instead of taking his word that he was sane? Matt Gaetz for attorney general? That would have made America the laughingstock of the world — if we aren’t already. Pete Hegseth, a Fox News weekend co-anchor, to be Secretary of Defense?
