May Charles Barkley live to be 112

    God bless Charles Barkley, long may he rant.
    And so he did recently to CNBC during a golf tournament, mostly on LeBron's day as an attention-seeking ESPN program director.
    "He handled it horribly. That one hour special, that was silly. No. 1, I think he should have told the Cavaliers in advance.
    "But the ESPN thing was just silly."
    On the 10 million peeps who watched "The Decision":

New No. 2 NBA fave team: whoever's playing Miami

    It's been nearly a week since "The Decision" broadcast on TSPN - The Stalking Programming Network - and we know this:
    A) Fans tend to be dingbats.
    People celebrating in the streets of Miami like coke was just legalized? Or - OK , that was a cheap shot - like models became approachable and remotely intelligent? Or - OK, that was a deserved shot - something actually happened? And people in Northeast Ohio crying?
    B) LeBron isn't quite who we thought he was. Turns out he's pretty much like every other stereotypical pro athlete. Now, he's very easy to root against, and now, it's easy to pull for failure for Miami rather than just a lack of success, and there's a difference.
    C) ESPN remains embarrassing and often laughable.   
    LeBron and Co. were the program directors for an hour. Who did what interview when, sponsorship, location. And an hour of Stuart Scott. Ouch.
   What a bunch of sellouts.

Let's get this thing over with

Dear Bron, D Dub, Bosh,
    PICK A FRIGGIN TEAM. JUST PICK ONE. ENOUGH WITH THE ASSKISSING MEETINGS, AND PICK ONE.
    Ahem. OK.
    But oh my God. What more do they need to feed the ego?
    A) You're rich, and going to get richer;
    B) Grown men are lying about the plans that'll be in effect for their team as soon as you sign.
    C) You're rich, and going to get richer.
    D) There will be women available wherever, as they are now.
    E) There will be plenty of groupies, male and female, coddling you and loving you.
    F) You're wanted, OK, really wanted. You want a hug.
