Who Needs LeBron? Cleveland Back To Being A Football Town
ByWe finally found someone in Cleveland with a sense of humor besides Drew Carey. In response to the city’s loss of LeBron James, Browns wide receiver/kick return extraordinaire Josh Cribbs has already called ‘dibs’ on replacing ‘The King’ on a famous billboard in Cleveland’s downtown district.
The famous ‘We Are All Witnesses’ Nike campaign that kicked off a few years ago, featuring LeBron James, rabidly ran through James’ hometown of Cleveland, highlighted by a giant billboard adorning his image outside of the Landmark Office Building, across the street from LeBron’s former place of employment, ‘The Q’. Cribbs was crafty enough to photoshop a picture of himself in action with the phrase ‘True To My Word’ appearing next to it.
It is what it is, Cleveland. You should have felt blessed to watch LeBron for the time you did and now it’s time for a return to mediocrity, a place where 80% of NBA franchises live. It was a good run but the fact remains that the best players in the NBA refused to join LeBron because the city of Cleveland was such an unattractive place to play.
At least he didn’t take the franchise with him like Art Modell. Speaking of which, there is always football season to look forward to. Right?
