Cavs Snuggie World Record

[Hoops]

So, apparently, Cleveland gave out Cavs-colored Snuggies to everyone on Friday. Here's a blurb from the article, with the bolded portion being my favorite:

Fans attending Friday's game between the Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons set a world record for the largest gathering of people wearing fleece blankets.

All fans in attendance had a Snuggie placed on their seats prior to the game. During a timeout in the first quarter, fans were asked to wear the wine-colored blankets with arms for five minutes as a clock on the scoreboard counted down. Most everyone complied -- except for one fan wearing a Celtics jersey and another who thought ahead and brought a Pistons Snuggie. The rest of the sellout crowd of more than 20,000 turned the Q into a sea of red blankets, counting down the final seconds and cheering as the world record clock expired.

I love that it was a Celtics fan who refused to comply, but especially because the Cavs weren't even playing the Celtics that night!

When I was a kid they gave out dead rats at the Garden, now they're giving out Snuggie's at NBA games?  The wussification of the league is now complete.

This is why the Cavs won't go anywhere.

Yeah I read that yesterday and LOL'd so hard especially at the Pistons fan who actually had the foresight to bring a Pistons snuggie

A fine description of me I think: "Weird, in a nice way"

just for the record in case my backwards humor wasn't shining through, they never did actually hand out dead rats at the old Garden, but there was no shortage of live ones taking in the games with the rest of us.

LOL. I though you were serious. Imagine if someone throws a dead rat at LeBronze now 

Completely unrelated...but Ballhog Bryant tried to play the hero again....and LA is on 3 game losing streak.

They might as well have gone for the All-Star game and really set the record.
