Out of Control

I will continue to write only when I feel like it. I'm not going to force the issue as I see no point in writing garbage just to put something out.

1. Lebron is coming back to Cleveland and from what the media is telling me, the town is going to take out 46 years of getting it's ass kicked out on #6. Seriously, not since the East Coast/West Coast rap battle of the mid nineties have I seen the media actually seem to encourage someone doing something incredibly stupid and dangerous. All the normal suspects are at work, ESPN, Fox Sports, Yahoo Sports, Bloggers, and Twitter have all hit a level media insanity that I thought was only reserved for Presidents dying and terrorist attacks. Poor Rachel Nichols, I don't think the woman has slept in a month. Between Bret Favre and Lebron's return, Mrs. Nichols has that college finals-week look. The look that says, "Don't you dare f^&* with me, I've had nothing to eat but cheap coffee and cigarettes for 3 days now and I'm still not nearly done with whats in front of me."

2. As for my fellow Clevelanders, we feel just as entitled as Lebron. Lebron's entitlement is the result of a massive talent that hasn't been coached or critiqued since he was in high school. Cleveland's entitlement is jack-ass behavior as a result of being the victim of constant sports misery. This whole event is becoming a sad excuse for people to behave badly. The media, the fans, even Lebron........knucklehead antics all around.

3. What will happen Thursday night? I think something stupid and possibly dangerous. Too much booze, too much anger, and too many people too close to the court. As one fan put it on Cleveland radio, "People already got they bail money ready." When people feel they are entitled to act like morons, they will. From the moment Lebron made his "decision," this day was coming and Clevelanders were making plans.

4. How bad will it be? Bad enough that Cleveland will fall out of favor with the rest of the country. I think it will be so bad that the national feeling towards Lebron could change from hatred to sympathy.

5. What do you mean by bad enough? I think Lebron goes old school, takes over the game, and drops 45-50 on the Cavs in a runaway victory. If this happens and the game gets away from the Cavs, the arena will get away from security/law enforcement.
