TV time. To the OP: you must REALLY like typing in yellow. It's his gimmick. Part of it.
Even his mic skills are pretty good for a guy who is foreign. .
What, may I ask, is wrong with being foreign? Do you have a problem with those of us who do not share the same country on our birth certificates as you? Chill out, he didn't say anything was wrong with it, he's just apparently unaware that people in Ireland are native speakers of English (as well as Irish).

Skwisgaar: This is a complete and total, you know, sausage festival. Toki: I love sausage festival! Skwisgaar: What? Toki: Like in Vienna. Skwisgaar: No - no, Toki, that *was* a sausage festival. Toki: Yeah, that was good. Skwisgaar: Yeah. It was the Vienna pork saus - um, no, this means that there's no good-looking ladies to put you-know-what intoside of them. Toki: The sausage? Skwisgaar: Yeah. Anyway, what were you talking about, like, a second ago? I'm sorry I cut you off.

Not even the biggest fan of Baseball and I think Johnny Damon was huge turncoat. I think Damon would be a much bigger deal if he had done it BEFORE the Red Sox finally beat the Yankees and won a title rather than after.

Maybe 0.8 isan internet meme or something now? Otherwise I have no idea. It was a meme around the wrestlecrap forums when ECW debuted. Some TNA fan posted a thread here with the title "LOL@ECW RATINGS" when ECW made a 1.4 rating or thereabouts. So he was LOLing at WWE's third-tier show beating the rating TNA gets on their best nights?

I don't think Lebron is a traitor He's not a traitor for leaving the Cavs, but he's a sleaze for the way he did - on a primetime televised dog and pony show, without so much as courtesy phone call to the Cavs to let them know of his decision ahead of time. I think Gilbert is resigned to making himself look like a moron outside Cleveland for the sake of rallying the hysterical fanbase. He needs to cover his own ass at this point. But I don't buy that what he said about LeBron was in any way traitorous or disloyal, the way LeBron left blew any goodwill he was owed. He didn't treat the Cavs and the city of Cleveland with respect and now he can't expect any from them in return. Not that he cares.

Craig Ferguson is the only late-night guy I enjoy. He just seems to be having so much fun and not at all full of himself, which is more than I can say for most of his competition.

Nope, if he wins his legacy will be cemented. Jordan and Kobe never won titles without other major stars on their teams either But they won titles as the top guys on their respective teams, the alpha dog as Bill Simmons likes to say. Now it looks like LeBron never will. Sure, Jordan and Kobe needed a supporting cast, they needed #2 and #3 guys, but they were still unquestionably the #1 guy.

People aren't criticizing him leaving the city so much as in the prima-dona way he did it. The way he left was totally classless and tasteless and he deserves all the hate he is getting for this. This. Anyway, fhe fact is that he can win five or six or ten titles now with the Heat, but he'll never go down in history the way he could have. He's going to be Pippen to Wade's Jordan, or at best there's going to be a Celtics-like situation with three guys all just below the level of super-stardom. LeBron will never be the alpha dog now, the foundation of a team. He's never going to be in the same category as Jordan, or even Kobe. I hope he realizes that, and I hope it's worth it for him.

Before I go to bed, I'd just like to say one thing:
For anybody who thinks that the Cleveland fans are over the top in the way they are reacting to this...maybe so. But please cut them some slack. Because in all honesty, if you are not an Ohio sports fan, you will simply never be able to understand.
This did not take place in the vacuum. Being an Ohio sports fan is a lifelong nightmare that becomes a generational nightmare, and each heartbreak is eventually surpassed by one more demoralizing, and every period of hope ends in infamy.
If you didn't grow up in Ohio rooting for the Browns, or the Bengals, or the Indians, or the Reds, or the Cavs, or ANY pro team from the state that showed the slightest signs of life just to have SOMETHING, you'll never understand.
The LeBron story was a fairy tale. The local kid who was going to bring hope to a team, to a city, maybe to sports fans of an entire state. And to have it end like this...
You have to be an Ohio sports fan to understand.

Now Dan Gilbert is saying LeBron quit in games 2, 4, 5, and 6 of the series witg the Celtics. Ugh. Maybe he's just trying to do anything he can to fire up the fanbase right now, and maybe that's what he should be doing, and maybe it will work. But it's just making the Cavaliers look even worse as a franchise.

I hope that was supposed to be a joke. well unless you can think of someone else that they can sign This is my point. Saying they can sign Tracy McGrady is the same as saying there's nobody left.

Dan Gilbert unleashes on LeBron James in a letter to Cleveland fans: www.nba.com/cavaliers/news/gilbert_letter_100708.htmllol@ guaranteeing the Cavs winning a title. WojYahooNBA Cavs owner goes on and on ripping LeBron James, but the letter is missing a P.S.to the fans: "I'm sorry I enabled him all those years." Wow, unfortunately he loses all credibility with that GeoCities-site-made-by-15-year-old-girl font.

i love playing this flash game from armor games called "achievment unlocked." basically, you start unlocking achievement as soon as it loads. then you maneuver this little blue elephant around, jumping, getting gcaught in updrafts and getting impaled on spikes. it's a fun time-waster type of game if you're into that sort of thing.. It was posted on the first page of the thread, dude.

Now that everybody keeps talking of Wade, Bosh, and LeBron as the nWo, how awesomely heelish would it be if they came strolling out to the nWo theme during pre-game intros. I have to admit if that happened I would actually probably have to start rooting for them.

Who wants to make odds on the Cavaliers franchise folding/moving within a decade?

A Facebook acquaintance of mine whom I had no idea was a wrestling fan just posted a status message comparing this to Hulk Hogan joining the NWO, complete with YouTube video.

What's the difference between old and new? Did Chester stop shrieking about how his dad didn't hug him and how tough it was being "male, middle-class, and white" and finally grow up? I salute you, sir.
