Setting the Record Staight

There has been some confusion lately about professional athletes, especially regarding LeBron James. So please let me clear the air for all of you fans.


Being from Ohio means that you've already won the championship in one category: namely, the "Being from Ohio" category. Thusly, even when you lose, you win. And even when Orlando wins, they lose (because they are from Florida). But instead of lose-winning I would rather win-win. We deserve it because we are from Ohio.

The other thing that people don't understand is that some people think they can critique of criticize LeBron James like he needs their coaching. "Don't miss the free throws LeBron!" They say.

Well you know what? LeBron has done nothing other than SERVE YOU with his almighty sweetness since he graciously VOLUNTEERED to grace the NBA with his presence. He even allows NINE other guys to play at the same time as him! Can you imagine the humility that takes? And he allows you to watch him for FREE and some of you have the audacity to complain. Do you sit back on your couch (you non contributing zero) and tell me how a surgeon should operate on you or how a pilot should fly your plane? No you do NOT. So why do you think you have the RIGHT to put your two cents in on the greatest thing to happen to America since we invented freedom!?*

Fortunately for ALL of us Mike Brown decided to lose a game last night so we would all be able to see MORE of the Cavaliers instead of winning in a quick 4 and out. What a guy. Next time the game is on, just watch and nod appreciatively and try not to embarrass yourself.

*The Buckeyes pre-dated freedom. Many historians believe that the tax levied on watching the Buckeyes from home was one of the major catalysts for the American revolution. Wolverine fans (then called tea bags) were drowned in Lake Superior (Then called Lake Ohio) to the delight of the colonists. This incident was later confused with a fancy shmancy tea party in Boston to which the Buckeyes were not invited. The forward thinking colonists of this time were hailed as visionaries by gaining the right to watch the Buckeyes more than a hundred years before the invention of the Television.
