  1. Learn How To Say ‘No’: Here’s an interesting article about LeBron James and his dealing with Adidas, Nike, and Reebok–and how his initial signing with Nike all went down.

  2. That’s A-MAYES-zing News: Berkeley Prep and Lehigh stud QB Brad Mayes got some awesome news per his father on Twitter. Mayes lit up scoreboards all across the Patriot League and beyond the past two seasons as a starter to the tune of nearly 3,900 yards and 31 Touchdowns, as well as a conference title.
