HAHAHALOLLOL! Somebody is a 24 fan. I think Jack's "If I was going to kill you...you'd already be dead" count is up to like 18 this season. And I still get chills every time like it was the first time ever. I hope next monday isn't the last we see of Jack Bauer. In fact I think we should consider him to fill the void at sharpshooting 2guard when this LeBron contract-signing formality is behind us.


I’ve never seen an episode of 24 in my life. This board is just that potent.

Oh good so I am not the only one then :oops:


I haven't seen any Lost either.

Just a side note on visiting the NY board. I mean I feel our board has fun with the rumors and plays around but they get really crazy whenever they see a Chitown rumor for Lebron and Dismiss it. But yet they think they can get any player Via trade?

I still dont get why NY fans think they can Sign and Trade Lee for Bosh and they're so sure Lee would want to go to Toronto.

For the record, I wasn't making fun of babygils. I was making fun of the fact that I've read about 4-5 different "insiders" making claims like this. Maybe it is true, maybe its not. I don't care either way because theres no way I'm really going to verify it (other than that one guys tweet, but that guy isn't exactly Tom Brokaw), and theres no way I'm going to disprove it. I'm going to do what many of these unverifiable rumors tell me to do which is take it with a grain of salt.

But mostly, I was just in a random mood and wanted to post a fake "LBJ" sighting that was so ridiculous that everyone would know I was kidding.

http://www.covers.com/articles/articles ... 190964&t=0

from the article

Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James was spotted house searching in a nearby Chicago suburb, according to a report Tuesday by WGN.

The free agent was reportedly observed checking out a for-sale mansion in Highland Park, who is a short drive from the Chicago Bulls' practice facility, according to the report.

I'm sorry I just don't see Lebron leaving Cleveland . But I do think this team has a real good shot of getting Joe Johnson and David Lee

A report by WGN could be a really, really loose interpretation of that tweet by the guy who works for WGN (a guy I've never heard of).

Really? There are certainly arguments in favor (money and loyalty being the main ones)... but there are definitely really valid other ones against staying (like the fact that he's less and less likely to win a title there with every passing year and he needs to do that to not be an also ran among the greatest ever).

The reason I can't buy into the "spotted house shopping" story is that with all the freaking camera phones and everything these days, you mean to tell me that somebody couldn't have snapped a video or a picture of him if they actually saw Lebron James walking around the Chicago suburbs?

Just sounds like BS.


That said, I suppose it could be that nobody actually saw him but that the rumor is originating from whatever realtors were taking him out.

So how many LeBron to NJ rumors will pop up if they win the lottery?

If you hear rumors about him shopping for a crackhouse in Newark, be afraid.

But I mean it's not like there is a lot of street life in Highland Park. I'm sure where LeBron was allegedly looking for houses was on some side street tucked away into the landscape. But then the question remains, how was he spotted? Could spotted mean that someone heard he was in the area looking at houses? I buy the stories where a friend of a friend heard LBJ was looking for houses more than stories where people supposedly spotted him.

Lebron may be buying a house in Chicago but that does not mean he is coming to the bulls. These players have multiple houses. MJ has houses in Chicgago, Highland Park(yes he lives there not his ex wife) Miami, Jupiter, Utah, Charlotte and probably every other state in America. That's what rich people do.
The curse of Higgins!
