    Dear sir, I'm a big fan of yours and appreciate your insights into all facets of the game. Do you know why Fox keeps ramming Joe Buck down our throats? I don't know a single fan who enjoys him. #bookexcerptsthatdontsuck

    In reply to Book Excerpts That Don't Suck: Shooting Stars
    I was having so much fun I completely forgot that I have to pick up my son. Seriously, Shooting Stars is a good read and a wonderful story. That's why I did it. It is not the definitive autobiography of LeBron and was never meant to be. That's why it ends in high school and that's why as I said somewhere the book is as much about the kids he befriended as it is about him. He is too young to write his autobiography. One day he will but not now. Anyway, thanks for the comments. And Daulerio, don't fuck me too badly.

    Hey Buzz, remember when Oprah always refused to go on Letterman's show, but then showed up when she had a Broadway show to promote? That was lame.

    Will you please talk to AJ about guest-editing someday? We've had crack addicts, gays who don't know sports, gays who know SEC sports, shitty sitcom writers, and the voice of the weasel from "Ice Age 2" or someshit.

    You could eclipse them all, Buzz.

    Buzz: Can you reconcile your obvious devotion to the craft of journalism with your participation in a book that is little more than a 300-page press release for LeBron Corp? I mean, if it's all just about the money -- god bless, more power to you. But if it's not, how can you moralize about your version of journalism in the same year you cash a big check for being a very talented PR flack?

    I have to say that I'm quite impressed that Buzz had the chutzpah to come on the site. Just for that I'll wait til the book is in paperback before shoplifting a copy.

    Did you ever think that is was ironic that you were writing a book about high school football players? The same people who are not required to learn to read before they graduate high school. I went to high school in a small Texas town so I do have somewhat of a clue as to what I am talking about.
