I think is a great post, but I think it's really problematic to have a tip called "Avoid Hospitals." This point comes across as: hospitals are filled with bacteria, clumsy staff, and general malpractice. Thousands of people die every year because they avoid preventive care. It's somewhat contradictory to your other tenets, since all of the others are meant to be preventive measures based on health-related probability. However, encouraging a phobia of doctors and hospitals does not help increase life expectancy.
As awesome as it is to read you channel is inner Tommy Craggs, I think you're off the mark.
I totally agree that everyone is sick of hearing about the victimization of Cleveland. I'm from there, and I'm sick of it. Having your hometown pitied is a shitty feeling, no matter the reason. And Cleveland, as a city, is identical to all other cities in the country. The fans are identical to other fans in every city, in every sport, at every level. So every city and its denizens think it's/they're special to some degree. But Cleveland's not an attention-whore city. Yes, everyone there feels slighted (to vastly different degrees and for different reasons), but the story keeps coming there because of the fact that "LeBron as Basketball Judas" is just as marketable as "LeBron as Basketball Jesus."
So as much as Raab, who guest-writes for this site, may be a whackjob... his pieces sell. And as "cloying" as Wright Thompson's piece was, or anything that Posnanski writes is, the fact is that LeBron's name makes money. Everyone will move on when the "Judas" well runs dry.
I know what you mean about singing along with a background track. This is exactly what Thom Yorke's version sounded like, before Jonny Greenwood backed him up on guitar.
the woman who had that ugly and expensive lebron pendant? lebron's bff maverick carter of LRMR and a group of guys evidently forcibly took the pendant from her. classy fellas.
