You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy!
The non stop news cycle hyperventilating about where Lebron James might play basketball next season.
The King video has been shown more than the BP oil spill.
Slow Mo shots of an SUV driving into a garage and iso shots of tall men walking from an elevator into a hallway. Will the excitement ever stop?
Will Lebron playing for the Knicks change the Obama doctrine in Afghanistan.
Will Lebron in the Windy City provide universal health care for everyone.
I understand he is a free agent and possibly the best basketball player on the planet, but enough all ready.
He’s going to make in excess of 100-million dollars to play a game. A GAME PEOPLE!
One city will party like it’s 1999. The other cities will go softer than an old guy in a Rosie O’Donnell peep show.
The over saturation has been painfully embarrassing, like petroleum jelly on your grandfathers man boobs.
Tickers at the bottom of the page rolling by like the Indy 500, with wild speculating like the DOW Jones gone wild. Panels of sports writers prognosticating for hours on end
James should play for Cleveland because he grew up there. He should play in the Apple because he is the biggest and it is the biggest. Miami has palm trees. Bron loves palm trees right?
GIMME A BREAK!
And just when you thought it couldn’t get more insane, ESPN is now broadcasting the announcement live. They promote it over and over and over.
Watch Thursday night at 9pm EST. LIVE! LIVE! LIVE!
“And we are told that Lebron will announce where he’s going in the first ten minutes.” The announcer screams.
Awesome. That only leave 50 minutes to dissect and hyperventilate about his choice. Who won and who lost. Will underpants be removed in mass and set on fire on the Blvd? Time will tell and battle lines are drawn.
I just turned on SPORTSCENTER. I am so lucky that I just caught the tail end of a breathless phoner with Ian O’Connor who works for ESPN the magazine. He’s a good reporter who bagged one of the first Tiger Woods interviews.
Today, O’Connor was spewing about who will get the King.
Under a gigantic graphic of Lebron James is the banner: Latest on Knicks pursuit of Lebron James.
“The Knicks have no idea where they stand right now,” he says.
“It is amazing”, he adds, the phone breaking up slightly. “In the history of sports, a team in a major transaction is unclear if it will come off. The Knicks are optimistic. They like the intelligence they have received.”
Intelligence?
What is this WWII?
INTELLIGENCE?
Is the German navy crossing the English Channel?
Oh My God! Blow out the candles! Pull the drapes!
He plays basketball. He has a lot of tattoos. He can throw that Mamma Jamma Down!
Good luck LeBron. Good Luck eventual “new Lebron city”
I’ll be tuned in breathlessly awaiting your decision.
And that is Crazy!
