Dear LeBron James

Dear LeBron James,

Dude, you LeBlew it. You could easily have had your own team. You broke my heart. And you will not be able to beat LA. Damn.

Sincerely,

ECK

As a lover of LBJ and the Bulls, I have to say I am royally pissed. Nobody gets it. The analysts are pissed. The Cavs are the pissed. The Bulls are pissed. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. The Bulls have a ready-to-win roster (LeBron himself admitted that DRose is the best point guard in the NBA!) and my (former?) boy LeBron snubbed it to hide under Dwayne Wade? What the hell? Charles Barkley got it right: LeBron should have thought, damn, I have chance to be the guy. He should have tried to go out and win it as the only superstar on the team. Now he's playing for someone else's team and they're STILL not going to be able to beat the Lakers. No way. Miami is a 3-man deep team. Shoot they probably won't even really give the Celtics much to worry about. Its gonna be a sloppy Miami Heat, mark me. I have been such a LeBron fan but I DO NOT want to watch him play for the Heat, with another all-star. That's what was so cool about LeBron- watching him kick ass on his own. I don't know how to be this guy's fan now that he admitted he needs another great to win a championship.

Dear Movie-Watching Public

Dear Movie-Watching Public,

This is a veryyy untimely plug, but I feel morally obliged to HIGHLY recommend The Cove. Rent it. Buy it (you'll want to anyways). Netflix it... however you like to watch movies. It will rock you.

Sincerely,

ECK


Not only was this film very well made, but I think it is an important movie. I have never really been one to push any sort of agenda, and I am almost a little embarrassed to make such a blatant endorsement now... but even so, this documentary was revealing and quite powerful (SUPER cheesey/ Oprah term, I know, but fitting none the less). Even if you are not the touchy-feely, peace sign-wielding and run to every protest type (as those of you who know me know I am not) you will get something out of TC.

Dear LEBRON JAMES

Dear LEBRON JAMES,

This a cruel and twisted mind screw you are making us endure! You say you want to win, so clearly you are coming to play for the Bulls, right? RIGHT?! Come to the windy city and let us get you your rings.

Sincerely,
ECK

OH. SWEET. LORD. I can't wait till tomorrow night (ESPN, 9ET) to hear where LBJ will be playing next year! I can't even tell you how many articles I've read and how many fruitless debates I have engaged in over the last several days trying to decide where I think he will end up. If he doesn't come to Chicago, I hope he doesn't disgrace us by playing for the Knicks (ew) and just stays in Cleveland. I'll be super disappointed if he doesn't wear red and black next season, but I'll just be straight up bitter if he leaves the Cavs for any other team. Ugh. In my opinion, LBJ + D Rose will be just as awesome as Kobe and Pao. Just sayin. Don't break my heart, LeBron!
