A Heartfelt Letter to Lebron James

January 29th, 2009

Lebron James,

What the fuck is wrong with you!  Did your mommy not teach you any values—apparently not?  Do you know where you come from? You were born and raised in Northeast Ohio hailing from Akron, Ohio. You single-handedly put Cavaliers basketball and the city of Cleveland on the map both nationally and globally. You were on your way to become a God in this city, now you are a complete embarrassment and alienated the Cleveland faithful. You didn’t forget about your scumbag friends from high school, whom you so loving refer to as the ‘four horsemen.’ You might not realize this Bron Bron but a kid with no real world experience, let alone no college degree does not normally become Vice-President of marketing for Nike. You don’t realize what this city has been through The Drive, The Fumble, The Shot, The Blown Save, you must have forgot about this while you were doing the ESPY Awards or Saturday Night Live.

You show up to a Tribe game versus New York sporting a Yankees hat on national television and completely dogging your hometown, what a travesty.  Not only wearing a hat of one the most hated teams in this city’s history but arrogantly and pompously rubbing our face in it by flaunting your hat in the air. How would you like it if Bernie Kosar showed up to a Cavs playoff game a rocking a Pistons jersey, guess what, that wouldn’t happen because Kosar has class.  Do you even know who Bernie Kosar is?

You are done; I’m no longer cheering for you, sticking up for you or comparing you to Michael Jordan. The fact of the matter, you don’t play defense and you can’t consistently make free throws—you are no Mark Price.  I will, like any other die hard Cleveland fan, continue to root for the Cavs and any success that comes with the organization. Go back to where you came from—Akron, home of rubber, the dirtiest strip clubs on Earth, and Cleveland’s red-headed step child.

Sincerely,

The City of Cleveland and its fans

P.S. How many kids do you have now?

Why I’m ashamed to be a Cleveland sports fan

January 29th, 2009

I’ve been born and raised in Cleveland and have cheered and cried over all sports Cleveland and will continue until the day I die. This city has experienced the Drive, the Fumble, the Shot, and the Blown Save. It’s the most tortured sports city in America, with the longest professional championship drought. Yet every year I root for the Browns, Cavs, and Indians.

I am absolutely sickened by the fact that Indians fans boo Jim Thome. What a fucking travesty! Thome is the all-time home run leader for the Indians. He is one of the best ambassadors for the game of baseball and most loved Cleveland sports athletes. Thome is apart of the holy trinity of Cleveland sports: Thome, Bernie Kosar, and Mark Price. These three extraordinary men could run for mayor of the city and win in a landslide.

Jim Thome is no Albert Belle!

So why do Indian fans continue to boo Thome? Well guess what uniformed Indians fans, I am not a fair-weather fan. I remember when Thome was brought up from the minors and couldn’t make the throw from third base or couldn’t hit a breaking ball. He worked his ass off and become an All-Star and future Hall of Famer. Thome was so beloved because Cleveland could easily relate to him. He’s a blue collar, hard-working, whiskey drinking stand-up guy.

Thome was the main force beyond the powerful teams of the 90’s. He continues to live in the Cleveland area and expressed his interest in going back to Cleveland. If anything, fans should boo ownership for their continual lack of desire to produce a championship. The owners refuse to spend money. It’s not Thome’s fault, the Indians were going to erect a statue of Thome and name a city street after him.

Why don’t those assholes drive to Cooperstown, NY and boo Thome during his induction into the Hall of Fame, while he’s proudly sporting Chief Wahoo. Otherwise shut your pie-hole.

And I will be getting another tattoo.  A Chief Wahoo tat when the Indians win the World Series.
