Dan Gilbert is My Hero
Cleveland Cavaliers owner on all the LeBron James rumors,
”The reason this thing is where it’s at,” Gilbert said, ”is that we’ve got a bunch of bored, East Coast sports writers who have nothing to do because the offseason is a few months away and the Olympics [hadn't] started yet.”
”The undertone to the whole thing that I wonder is, why him?” Gilbert said. ”Why not Dwyane Wade? Why not Chris Bosh? Why not whoever else is coming due?
”The only thing you can come up with is there are certain writers, or people who live on the East or West Coast, who think that Cleveland, Ohio, is not a good enough place for a superstar of LeBron’s caliber to spend his career.
”Despite the quality of the franchise, the quality of life in the Midwest, the fans — it’s a complete slap in the face from people who do not live in Cleveland, Ohio, to Cleveland, Ohio.
”That’s probably my biggest problem with the whole thing.”
He continued.
”If he were playing for the Lakers or the Knicks or the Nets or Miami, what they consider glamour teams, I don’t think there would be any of this talk. And the proof of it is there. Because there’s not talk of any of these other stars.”
I don’t know if these rumors are relegated to East Coast sportswriters, but they are very definitely bored.
Top Gun 2???!?!?!??!?!?
According to reports, the plot outline is, (wait for it)
Accepted Behaviors Tend to Increase
Note to Potential Buyers…
Our house is on the market and we keep getting feedback from people who look at our house. I have some notes for anyone looking at my house. This is one of them.
I don’t know what you were expecting when you read that our basement is “finished.” I have to say that while it may not be up to your standards, we have walls, and lights everywhere. There is one big room with carpet, a bar and a fireplace. That room covers about 1/3 of the basement. If that isn’t considered “finished” then keep looking.
I am pretty realistic about the positives and negatives of my home, but don’t be a jerk. The basement is finished. Bottom line.
Browns Fans Hate Beat Writer
I just read an off-season article by Cleveland Plain Dealer Browns beat reporter Tony Grossi. I don’t know if I agree with him, but the commenters on there KNOW how they feel. Oof. What a tongue lashing Tony receives on this post.
I wonder how a guy who writes about the most popular team in town can keep his job when so many of the fans seem to hate his guts (and his reporting?)
Mortgage Mess Explained Simply
I ripped this off directly from MisterCrunchy, but it is so effing brilliant that it must be linked and looked at by everyone.
As MC said, it even comes with cool stick figures.
“Rescue Me” Criticism
I only have one criticism of the series so far. I am on season 2 of the DVD’s. And this criticism goes for all TV shows being released on DVD.
Please, can we remove the opening credits music from the shows on DVD? As much as I may or may not like the Von Bondies, I really don’t need to hear “C’mon C’mon” every time I watch an episode of the show. Is there any reason that we can’t cut this stuff out with the commercials? I tried to think about a reason that you wouldn’t want to remove those, but I can’t think of any.
Journeyman Almost Perfect
It appears that Journeyman is going to be canceled and as a result of it being about time travel, it was sure to be a perfect show for me. So, you might think that now that it is being canceled that I might be upset. That couldn’t be further from my actual feelings. I liked the show and it was very good for a season, but I don’t know how much longer they could have kept it going. The characters were good, but not great. The time travel was interesting, but they can only write jokes about other decades, including the songs and culture associated with them for so long.
It was going to wear thin. Trust me. I have seen this thin-ness play out already on the once great “4400″ on USA network. Before “Journeyman” goes too far and becomes a show that is unwatchable at the end of its 4th season, it is much smarter to just let the “Journeyman” universe just explode with its possibilities being endless instead of played out.
Jessie Davis is Ohio’s Laci Peterson
I find it unbelievably interesting how involved people are willing to get with news stories. Anyway, for those of you who haven’t been following the “big news,” there was a pregnant girl who mixed herself up with a bad guy and that bad guy, Bobby Cutts, allegedly murdered her.
Now they have picked up a friend of Cutts who is pictured below.
First of all, without reading anything, someone tell me whether that is a man or a woman. I think Martin Lawrence should call this guy to see if he is available for the next movie where they dress up as women.
Mariners Force Action with Snow Delay
The Mariners and Indians are trying to play the Indians’ home opener and the game is one pitch away from being official with five innings in the books.
The Mariners’ player, Lopez had 1 ball and 2 strikes against him when he claimed he couldn’t see in the snow. It wasn’t that bad yet. The Mariners pulled their players off the field saying they couldn’t see in the awful snow. To try and preserve their ability to come back and win, they wanted to make sure the game didn’t become official by going five innings. The Indians needed just one more strike and the game could have been considered official.
Brilliant gamesmanship by Mike Hargrove and the M’s. If you can’t beat em, claim a weather delay.
