Four teams down and two to go in the circus called, "You show me yours, and I'll think about it", AKA LeBron's Magical Mystery Free Agent Tour. Whoever thought that the corner of E. 9th and St. Clair would be THE CENTER of the Sports world? Satellite trucks; TV cameras from all over; reporters both press, radio, and TV; fans; you name it they're probably there. And let's not forget the Ring Master, LBJ himself.
And what will all come of this? A young man, with amazing athletic skills will have to choose which multi-million dollar sales pitch he will accept. Which bag of lies will give him the best chance to fulfill a pledge made to a certain area and cities seven years ago (give or take a year or two). Which body of work (i.e., presentation) will be reviewed by the King and his Court (No not Eddie Feigner) to be THE one.
Will any of this be worth it? Of course it will and not just for the "off-the-wall fan" or the "fan in passing". Downtown eateries; drinking locales; hotel rooms; etc, will truly benefit. And the flip side, just the opposite. So, without any of our input, a large decision awaits us, totally out of control. We sit; listen; tweet; FB; email; blog; just to vent until the decision is made and he tells everyone he is going to sign with...................................?
Boy I can't wait!!!
PS>>If it does go our way, I cannot wait to give all of New York and New Jersey a "double, single finger salute" telling them "We are #1 and you ain't!!!"
