    World Wide Wes is going to assist him with his entrance exam.

    If people weren't interested, wouldn't be a show. I think LBJ is great. ... unless he leaves Cleveland, then I'm keying his limo.

    His limo will be the least of his concerns. I think he can expect the full Art Modell treatment.

    This whole thing is yet another full-blown Bill ("You Have a Stupid Job") Bradley moment.

    Not sure why that is such a popular column.

    This one is better ...

    And it's not reliant on schtick.

    The whole hour special is cheesy, but I'm not sure why we're all supposed to be so offended by it.

    I blame all of this crap on SI. Had they not put him on the cover years ago, I don't think we'd be at such frenzied state.

    Not that ESPN gives a crap, but their headline right now, with sources saying LeBron is "leaning" toward the Heat -- is exactly the problem with their special. It's obviously there for the sole purpose of stirring up interest, buzz and ratings. I think we all agree that Chris Broussard is a very respected reporter and deservedly so, but in this case he's being used, and he's going to end up looking like a tool -- either a tool of the LeBron marketing machine, or a tool for being so willing to have the wool pulled over his eyes.

    Looks like Lebron is going to Miami, sez the Plain Dealer.

    Akron will be ashes.

    A well-paid tool.

    Ace, a championship, sun and no taxes in Miami vs. frustration, bad weather, and taxes in Cleveland. It's a no brainer.

    I won't have you knocking Cleveland, Drip.

    On the other hand, I might join LBJ in Miami. The Heat won't be able to afford anyone better.

    It's not a knock on Cleveland. Always have a good time there and have relatives there. But it's hard to ignore those facts good buddy.
