Dwyane Wade scored 16pts in the 4th. The qtr Sasha didn’t play. Coincidence? His coach thinks he can defend and most guys that are 6ft 7 can usually keep a couple shots from going down.

You are welcome Alan T. You may call yourself an investigative reporter or sportswriter, but really that is far too humble a designation.

I call you a Truth Teller — without pay, no less!

Your untiring service to the Greater Cleveland area is not lost on this blog reader. I am with you, I applaud you and I defend you, sir.

Thanks for again clearing that up, Mike. I was unaware until now that it was my role to be an investigative reporter and a sportswriter. I was operating under the assumption the local newspapers already had staff on a payroll. Thanks for setting me straight.

And Josh, I was unaware that it was the local media’s role to shill out of respect for the “big picture.” Thanks for clearing that up as well.

“….obviously it was a legitimate story, and not a flattering one, and yet not one local sportswriter wrote about it. Why not?”

Why not indeed, Alan T. Why not indeed. These are the hard questions that only you are unafraid to ask. Thank God we Clevelanders have you, fighting for us. Fighting to protect us from these corporate shills in the Cavs front office, who are brainwashing us with their lies and coverups.

Ultimately their evil plans will fail, as long as we have you to ask these questions, and expose the truth at all costs.

Enough about the ticket already… Do you think the Chicago media constantly pried on “Air” Jordan and his “alleged” gambling addiction? Or his hos in different area codes? Or his buying out of local establishements the night before a game? OF COURSE NOT, you dolts! It’s a poor business decision. The quickest way to sour your star athlete/meal ticket on your town is to have a nosey media that makes said athlete look bad.

Is this a double standard? yes. Is it wrong, deplorable, upsetting, and sometimes against the law? yes. Will the media’s leaving Lebron alone and being supportive of him be a factor in his decision to stay or go in a few short years? YES.

Big picture people, big picture…

Which, of course, Mike, explains why 16 days after it happened, nobody around town was told a thing. Thanks for clearing that up.

I don’t give a crap if that guy drives at the speed of sound. But obviously it was a legitimate story, and not a flattering one, and yet not one local sportswriter wrote about it. Why not?

Ah - what red-blooded American hasn’t gone 100mph a couple times in their lives? Medina County is a great place to speed, though clearly you may get caught. LBJ is a free-thinking human being after all, and some idiotic people will have as much of a problem with that as they would with the opposite. Get over it.

Go, Alan T.! Blow the lid right off this monstrous cover-up behind The Speeding Ticket! Use your investigative journalistic powers to their fullest extent, and right this horrific wrong!

I will never believe another word that any local reporter writes concerning the Cavaliers– ever — thanks to Alan’s vigilance. Our world is much safer thanks to him.

Thanks, Alan. Stop by VIP after games if you’re in the area and I’ll hook you up with an autograph.
