Izzo- On Tuesday Tom Izzo finally made his decision on being the next coach the the Cleveland Cavaliers. Izzo turned down the offer. He wants to stay more focused on building the next generation of superstars and remain the coach of Michigan State University. Izzo said one of the big reasons for tuning down the offer was that he was not able to speak with Lebron James. Izzo says that coaching Lebron James was very tempting and he wants him to stay at home with the Cavaliers just as Izzo will do. Stay home and coach his Spatans. As for the Cavaliers, this looks to be another setback on the future for Lebron. The Cavs now look to find a coach a.s.a.p so assure their future with James.

MLB- More inter league games were played on Tuesday featuring a world series re match between the Yankees and the Phillies. The Yankees destroyed them winning 8-3.
