Remember the Friday mailbag and it’s an ordinary story about the way things go, round and round nobody knows, but the highway rolls on forever.

Streak is struck
LeBron JamesLeBron and the Heatles stumbled in Chicago last night, losing for the first time since the Friday before the Super Bowl. Yes, the last time Miami lost, we were still wondering how Tennessee’s football recruiting class would finish and if the 11-8 Tennessee basketball Vols were going to do anything down the stretch.
The Bulls beat Miami 101-97 in the most intense and enjoyable regular-season NBA game since the Michael Jordan returned to the NBA and dropped a double-nickle on the Knicks in the Garden.
It was physical – at times too much so, but more on that in a minute – and well-played. It had the look of a must-win playoff game for the Bulls and eventually for the Heat as well.
