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...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...
