Lebron is wearing a *gasp* Yankees cap

Okay, so here's my opinion on that very "controversial" subject, coming up after a simple explanation.

For all my friends who reside outside the Northeast Ohio area, those of us who live here have three favorite professional teams, the Indians, Browns and Cavaliers. We have more bad sports in our lifetime than we could ever wish on those we don't like. The most valuable athlete in town is Lebron James. He plays for the Cavaliers and this year led them to the NBA Finals for the first time in team history.

This year the Cleveland Indians made the post season for the first time since 2001. In the ALDS, the Tribe is currently up 2 games to none to the dreaded New York Yankees. During game 1 of this series, Lebron came into Jacobs Field wearing a Yankees cap, he was interviewed on TBS, and he said that he has been a Yankees fan all his life, and he's also a Dallas Cowboys fan.

Lebron has taken a lot of heat from the Cleveland media for this.

Maybe my explanation wasn't so brief after all. But my opinion is we live in a free country. If Lebron wants to root for the Yankees, let him. If he wants to root for the Cowboys, let him. All I care about is that Lebron gives his all as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Let the young man wear what he wants. I will post what I want.

GO TRIBE!!!

My view is about the same as yours but I am a little more upset about the whole thing.
I have always believed that the reason we have the freedoms we have is because so many men died so we could have those freedoms. I say to the ones complaining, let people wear what they want because we let you say what you want. They seem a bit immature to be complaining about what someone wears, so maybe children need to be seen and not heard. HA HA HE HE:)

The media is making this issue more than what it really is. Who cares? Memo to the LOCAL media: please stop taking attention away from the team on the field! They don't deserve to see LeBron on the front page of the paper. Keep the focus on the Tribe!

I was wondering how this was going down in Cleveland... I saw the interview... and then they went back to him when things weren't going so well for the hated Yankees... and his hat was on backwards....

The young man will presumably learn to keep these disturbing quirks to himself eventually....

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil...

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The...
