Pretty strong statements that LeBron James will become a free agent in 2010.

Hey, Rachel Nichols: Jay Leno called, he wants his chin back.

I get up from my 256th trip to the bathroom in the last 12 agonizing hours, and I now see the Beacon Journal has changed its blogs yet again. How many cents are they saving this time? Wouldn't it be a lot easier and cost-effective if they simply bought a dimmer switch?

I don't know about all of you, but I have personally determined that LBJ's choice will have ZERO effect on my life whatsoever. If he stays, he stays. Goes…goes. Either way, I can't afford to buy Cavs tix, so it doesn't matter. This ridiculous drama now rivals the moronic Favre situation, and I won't even listen to interviews about it. I frankly don't care. Sure, it would be nice for Cleveland if a hometown athlete actually lives up to his "supposed love" for the area and remains a lifetime Cavalier. But I've given up trying to figure out athletes. They're all living in some dream world.

Mitch,
Great post, but I have to ask: have you been night-putting? you know, just, putting at night?

alan t. August 24, 2009 at 10:00 am

I consider myself a somewhat old guy who's also worldly, but I don't get it. What is this putting at night stuff. Does this have anything to do with that fun Putt-Putt course at Southgate I used to ride 12 miles on my bike to get to 40 years ago?

Alan – It's a Caddyshack reference.

Caddyshack. I never really liked that movie that much, it's been incredibly overrated by people over the years. Just like "Stripes." Overrated. Although, I always did like Rodney Dangerfield, they let him use some of lines from his own act. "This steak still has the mark of the jockey's whip on it." Don't remember anything about night-putting.

If Gilbert loses James, what Gilbert is going to do to the Cavaliers franchise is going to be just like blowing up gophers.
