Hanso... the man is simply moving between franchises within the same corporate organization. To claim that he's telling "them" to "screw themselves" just isn't accurate. James helped raise millions of dollars for the Boys & Girls Club (more than their cumulative take for the last 2 years, according to Jim Gray), and is currently planning ot return to the Akron/Cleveland area to ccordinate an annual fundraiser. As Bryaferryfan pointed out, his contract--- which he fulfilled--- was over, and he signed a new one within 1 week. Still; I wasn't aware of when the free agent signing deadline was to occur. Was that on July 8?
