h/t Ball Don't Lie
wv: impti - Even if the Cavaliers win the revenge game, their fans will still feel a little impti inside.
So anyways, this here is probably the best reaction yet to the new Miami Heat.
Part 1
Part 2

the first 2-3 minutes talk about the lebron decision--and the rest is hilarious. i don't even know how to begin to describe it, but here goes
1) the chick is rather attractive
2) she may actually spend more time following the nba than doing her nails, and consequently has some insight
3) interspersed with the in depth analysis are such choice quotes as "i call him [pau gasol] the gooseman because he looks like a goose, and when he gets fouled he flops his arms up like a duck. so i call him the gooseman"
i don't want to ruin it, but watch the whole thing and i'd be surprised if you are disappointed
Well, it's not quite Marquis Daniels' diamond-encrusted-head necklace, but it's still pretty ridiculous: a diamond-studded pendant in the shape of a LeBron James jersey.
ONE!! MORE!! TIIMMMEEEE!!!!!
That made my day :)
You don't have to apologize, man, it's your blog! But I do appreciate it. Besides, you more than made up for it here:
"His "The Decision" special was the single biggest, meanest, most cruel bitchslaps to a fan base I've ever seen. It was like televising a rape. I hated it."
In everything everyone has said, nobody has said "televising a rape" but if they had, they would've been spot-on. awesome.
And of course today's T-shirt montage. I miss the bastardly side of Bawful, and here it is in all it's glory.
I will also say I'm sorry if I'm responsible for us getting a Leshirt montage instead of "pickup diaries" today, and also for dragging this thing out longer than it should be.
My only quibble left is---The Celtics are done? Really? People said that all last year too. Unless this is an insidious attempt at a reverse stat curse.......
just a head's up
When I visit the site, there are plenty of moments when It would load the front page and then suddenly flash/redirected to a blank page while waiting for a site called .b.scorecardresearch.com to load
i'm not sure if you are being hijacked by an ad, or if it is on my end, but it only happens for this website...
here's some research done on my end:
http://www.bloggernews.net/122771
the comments at around july 13 seems to fall with what's happening to your site.
you have some sort of hack going on- if i don't stop the page from loading in the first 2 seconds it tries to send me to a "scorecard" site that never loads.
You just see how celebrated he is on the east side of the world.
Sure they'll vote for him still unless he breaks a leg or becomes disabled.
Taking a look at Mozilla Support, it looks like it's a combined issue with how Firefox 3.6.6 is resolving this crappy tracker script.
In conclusion, if you're running Firefox without NoScript addon u r a tard. Do NOT visit their website, do NOT use that shitty opt-out feature.
People have a right to be upset at Lebron. For both what he did to Cleveland and for forfeiting his shot at transcendent greatness. That he doesn't get that is amazing. That he keeps saying that LeBron's actions were unselfish and putting winning above everything else are comical. People don't like what Lebron did because it seems like he's looking to get cheap championships. Jeff Van Gundy had a great quote about the struggle to obtain a championship is part of the glory of winning that championship. These guys are seeking to avoid the struggle and just cash in. That's not unselfish even though they're forfeiting a few million dollars that they'll probably make up anyway.
The rest of this hate is bullshit, though. Cleveland fans not only tolerated and enabled Lebron's ego; they actively reveled in it. They loved that "greatness," however manufactured, was associated with their shitty city.
And now, because he decided to leave, he's always been a loser? GTFOH.
He's the same player/egomaniac he was last week, when the whole city was begging him to stay. What does it say about Cleveland that the fans and the owner were so invested in a so-called loser who supposedly quit on the team and has no killer instinct?
And everybody needs to get off their high horse about the ESPN special. It was a freakshow.
The only thing worse than trying to justify a freakshow by a concern for the participants (Lebron's Boys & Girls Club donation) is condemning a freakshow while watching through your fingers. If you watched it, then STFU.
This sanctimonious bullshit is a big part of what's wrong with sports fandom.
YEAH.
Oh, and I've totally started referring to my bowel movements as "taking my talents to South Beach." Thanks to whomever posted that the other day...
but "you can head south,but your mom is riding West"- isn't that bad of a...punchline too (with disturbing inner-eye-image-bonus)
