LeBron gets heckled at an amusement park.
You can hear people yell “I bet you miss”, “‘Bron shoot left-handed, your elbow hurts”, “Just like Game 5.” as LeBron misses all the shots that he takes at the basketball game.
Normally I’d feel bad for celebrities getting heckled in public but fuck LeBron.
LeBron James can blow me.
ESPN’s definitive sports news brand, SportsCenter, will expand by seven hours each weekday beginning Monday, Aug. 30, when ESPNEWS offers live SportsCenterprograms from 3-6 and 7-11 p.m. ET. ESPNEWS, the 24-hour sports news network, will continue to present 30-minute news and highlights blocks the rest of the day, outside of the SportsCenter windows. The new ESPNEWS editions will supplement SportsCenter on ESPN, which airs live on weekdays generally from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and at 6 p.m., 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. (reaired 2-9 a.m.), and on weekends.
Will.I.Am - It’s A New Day (Mashup-Germany edit)
This is being shared for FOUR reasons:
1) Listen to how terrifically happy it is. Christ, who needs drugs anyway!
2) I have a new-found appreciation for Will.I.Am & I’m not afraid to admit it.
3) It’s been on repeat in my house ALL DAY while my mother and I drink mass amounts of wine and completely purge everything.
4) It will severely decrease the costs of therapy I owe to Vlad for listening to me ramble about anything and everything all the time.
Albert Haynesworth is being paid $37 million over three years to play professional football in the NFL, and he is officially in worse shape than a 61-year old. Say what you will about rookie salaries, they’re certainly not the ONLY problem with the NFL’s player compensation approach. [via]
This has bullshit written all over it. Apparently ESPN doesn’t realize that once you post something to the Internet, there is no turning back. They can’t kill the story, it’s already out there.
This just goes to further prove that ESPN is taking orders from Lebron’s camp, which we already knew after “The Decision” aired. While their “30 for 30” series is incredible, they’ve crossed the line from journalism to public relations hacks. Some would say they did that a long time ago, and this is just the latest and most glaring example.
His people called, not LeBron himself, and had the story pulled: this is far more likely than trained professionals editing and publishing a story accidentally. This is not what ESPN’s official statement is, but again, we’re not accusing them of lying here—just of having a very broad understanding of “the editorial process.”
Coming on the heels of “The Decision,” the most bizarre University of Phoenix infomercial ever, this looks horrible for ESPN, whose own ombudsman condemned the network’s decision to air the hour-long LeBron interview and the lack of editorial control the network had in dealing with LeBron and his entourage. You know the network values entertainment over journalism, and they know they do, but the pretense just made me feel so much better about the whole thing. Like eating a fried chicken salad and not just the fried chicken, I liked the greenery giving me the illusion of health and balance in my diet.
