Former Browns/Ravens owner Art Modell is 85 years old and just happy to be alive right now. But if he were 10-15 years younger, he'd probably kiss LeBron James' feet at this very moment. Why?? Because LeBron has just taken a heavy load off of Modell's shoulders.

He is no longer the only hated man amongst the Cleveland, OH population.

Last night, during a 1 hour special, LeBron James told the world that he was making his decision on where to sign. And he chose South Beach, to join Dwayne Wade and the newly signed Chris Bosh to play with the Miami Heat. Immediately, fans began to get rowdy and upset at the Akron, OH native, by going in the streets and burning his jersey as ESPN played the video back to LeBron during his special (which I thought was beyond tacky on ESPN's part... but I digress).

If that wasn't bad enough, Cavs owner Dan Gilbert added fuel to the "I Hate Bron Bron" fire, telling the fans they don't deserve this kind of, "cowardly betrayal". Yeah, real nice, Gilbert. Don't be mad when Cavs fans burn your arena down in the process.

Art Modell now can say he isn't alone.. at least not for the time being. LeBron has currently taken the helm of, "Cleveland's Most Wanted" and is on a race to become the new villain in that town. Don't get it twisted, Modell will always be hated by the Browns faithful. But maybe folks can hate him a little less and at least allow him into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame, where he rightfully belongs.

If Art Modell could, he'd probably call LeBron right now and thank him for his decision to go to Miami. He can now say he's no longer the lone Public Enemy in the city of Cleveland, and that says a LOT!

Thanks, Bron Bron..... Signed, Modell Management

So, I think I have a crush on Gus Johnson. Not a real crush. But a media crush. In my opinion, Gus Johnson is one of the best sports announcers out here. Why? Welll...... since you asked....

I like Johnson for a lot of reasons. He went to Howard University (shout out to the HBCUs), and although his major was political science, he's always been sports oriented. He was the QB for his high school football team in Detroit, and also played on the basketball team as well as the baseball team.

After he graduated from HU, he went on to be a play-by-play announcer for such teams like the Detroit Tigers, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Big East basketball conference. His accomplishments go on and on... because he's awesome!



But my main reason for liking Johnson is because he makes every play sound like the most exciting play you've ever seen... in your entire existence of LIFE. A defender can jump offsides in a football game and he would make the best out of it. I can hear him and his cartoon-ish voice now,
"Whooooo and the linebacker was JUST called offsides!!!! Boy, that 5 yards could possibly hurt them in this game..."

Or imagine LeBron James traveling in a game that's a blowout. Johnson would make the best of it..

"OOOOOOOO.. and LeBRON JUST TRAVELED FOLKS!!! I can't BELIEVE he just did that!!!!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???!!!"

Johnson takes every sport you watch and liven it up about 100 notches. I know sometimes it's extremely annoying and he makes you want to say, "Okay Gus, we get it...... you're excited". But hell, I wish we had more Gus Johnsons on TV.

This is dedicated to my media crush, Gus Johnson!!!
