LeBatard: LeBroid and company misled the cHeat: if true, anybody surprised?

[Roy H.]

Almost every media report I read indicated that Lebron wasn't making a commitment to the Heat, he wasn't recruiting free agents, etc.  After his meeting with Riley, the word was still that he wasn't making a committment.

I'm just not sure where the "misleading" came in.

Can anyone confirm if LeBatard means the **** in French?

I didn't think that would get blanked out like that.

Allow me to be technical.

Can anyone confirm if LeBatard means "the guy whose parents weren't married at time of birth" in French?

LeBron's Sports Illustrated confessional has already been put to a song.

Correctly spelled that'd be "le bâtard". Close enough I guess...

"You can?t have two teams behaving like they were gonna get him back."

Uhh... and why not?   That's called a player's market.

Cry me a river, Miami.  You were happy to take Lebron 4 years ago while multiple teams bent over backward trying to lure him.   This time you lost on that same game.

Lebron owes them nothing.  If he wants to leave and go to the Cavs, his choice....

LeBatard is the Miami Bill SImmons.

LeBatard is the Miami Bill SImmons.

There is so much said and presumed about people in this world, especially famous people, that you can probably find a way to draw just about any conclusion you'd want.  Sometimes the evidence is overwhelmingly against the righteousness of a human being (eg, OJ, Hernandez...). But a lot of the time I think we like to make minor villains out of people who are just being human.  I am very glad that my personal decisions have not been public because I've probably made mistakes, been selfish, been thoughtless and been embarrassingly wrong at times. 

Lebron appears to be a pretty decent guy overall who, like most of us, makes some good decisions and some bad ones.  Hopefully, he is nice to his wife, children, mother, neighbors, waitresses and barbers. That would matter more to me than what others speculate about how he treats Pat Riley, Dwayne Wade. or the fans of Miami.

Yes.

Wow.  Best rational quote of the thread.  Well put.

[Snakehead]

Is it easy or time consuming to always make sure that, for some of you guys, you change LeBron's name to "LeBroid" and Heat to "cHeat"?  Is it always funny?

Just curious.

This is probably the best thing I've read on celticsblog in a long time (no offense Jeff).

I know.  It's pretty childish if you ask me.  Besides it got old really fast.
