Dear Abby: Cleveland Sports Have Created An 8-Year-Old Psychopath
Yesterday's "Dear Abby" column featured "Good dad in Cleveland," who's seeking advice on what to do with his eight-year-old son, understandably driven to animal abuse by the frustrations of being a Cleveland sports fan.

Let's Watch David West Send The Cavs' Mascot To The Hospital By Punching The Shit Out Of Him
We told you yesterday morning about what happened to poor Moondog, the Cleveland Cavaliers' mascot who had to go the hospital the night before after being punched in the eye by the Pacers' David West.

The Cavaliers' Mascot Had To Go To The Hospital Because David West Punched Him In The Eye
It's all fun and games until an NBA player lands a punch that sends a man in a giant dog costume to the hospital.

LeBron James Says He's Open To Playing Again In Cleveland, Maybe
I admit it: I was skeptical when sources passed along something like this a couple of weeks back to a reporter from Cleveland. It all seemed so ridiculous, considering there are still two years remaining on LeBron's contract with the Heat. So much can happen between now and then. Besides, does anyon...

Oh, God, "Sources" Are Already Bullshitting Reporters About LeBron Leaving Miami

LeBron James Wouldn't Let Walter Iooss Jr., Who Was Photographing Him For Nike, Speak Directly To Him
If you get a chance to pick up last week's Sports Illustrated issue without gagging at the cover, it's worth flipping through to Walter Iooss Jr.'s career retrospective.

Revisiting The Great LeBron James Cocksucker Debate
here's a decent chance that at some point in the past 24 hours — perhaps when he did a little shimmy on the floor after drawing a late offensive foul, or when he began yapping demonstratively at the Less Than Zero extras in the stands, or when he passive-aggressively referred to Derrick Rose as "MVP...
