OT - Lebron James

[elocomotive]

I'd take Cuthbert sloppy seconds any day of the week and four times on Sunday.

That's Avery slippery slope...

WHAT?? WHAT?? No love for Wendy's?:p

LOL, I actually like Wendy's over Burger King.

if i were a pro athlete the list would go something like this:

1. effect on the family
2. hometown discount
3. do i owe the town something (resigning type thing)
4. chance for championship
5. money

ESPECIALLY in the case of these guys that make enough money in ONE GAME to support an entire family comfortably.

You would take her sloppy seconds? Like dudes?

No that there is anything wrong with that.

Sports has become more of a business. Look, I know I am an old guy but remember when the team and esp home town meant something now it's all about the money and screw everyone else except me. That's the attitude these selfish athletes have now a days and if it wasn't for their god given talent would probably be working in a Burger King.

I agree with the lament, Boss, although Cleveland can offer him more money than anyone else. I think Lebron is probably more concerned with winning than the money. The guy is going to make around a billion in his career regardless of where he goes... as long as he wins a few titles.

But I too wish more guys would stay in one place.

Will you marry me? I like your priorities. These athletes today are all about themselves.

I didn't add an apostrophe "s" to that. Cuthbert was the object there, not HER sloppy seconds.

wow. that's my second marriage proposal. the first was a 6 year old i used to babysit...he was crushed when i had to break the news to him...

Thanks eloco. It just frustrates me to see where sports are headed at times. Sorry I blew off.

Do you have a VaJJ?

 

[pixburgher66]

Do you have a VaJJ?

soooo...is that directed at me? hahah, if you read under my avatar it answers that question.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Do you have a VaJJ?

Only a plastic one in the closet. To answer your question, No I don't.

That you live in Pittsburgh?

Hee hee. I didn't think blew off at all. I totally agree with you, I just think Lebron is a better guy than your average fan gives him credit for. I think a lot of people have a negative view of him and for having so much fame shoved his way at an early age, he's handled it better than a lot of top athletes (you don't see him getting into Vick or Kobe type trouble) and he's a REALLY excellent teammate.

I feel very fortunate that I got to enjoy Cal Ripken and Darrell Green playing their entire (lengthy) careers for my home teams. With any luck, OV will be the same.

uhhhhhh...above the avatar...hahahaha

In case some of you don't know much about Cleveland, here's a one minute primer...

Holy Shit, I am amazed it took this long before someone posted that video.

Now post the other one and the one that was made just for the NBA by the same guy.
