It was quite an eventful week in sports for the Sixth City. In a stunning three team trade, Kevin Love joins LeBron James in the Cavaliers starting lineup next season. In other Cleveland news, Johnny Football gets fined for flipping off Washington’s bench and loses the starting QB slot for the Browns. Speaking of the NFL, the coveted Super Bowl half-time performance slot is now up for bids to a small circle of superstars. We are very curious to see how this unfolds in the coming weeks.

We’re also including some gamings news this week. XBOX One previews a fall system update and GTA Online members get a new San Andreas Flight School update. Fans of the Metal Gear Solid franchise will not want to miss the 22-minute multiplayer gameplay footage released this week.

We hope everyone is enjoying the last days of Summer with Labor Day weekend approaching next week. Rumor has it, there’s gonna be a star studded remix for Bobby Shmurda’s song of the summer dropping just in time. Until next time, be safe out there.
