- Congrats to the Cavs and congrats to Lebron James whose story comes to an amazing conclusion here tonight. I know he isn’t dead and has more work to do in his life, but his basketball story is over. He’ll play more and he may even win more championships, but he was born and raised an Ohio kid. He grew up watching the Cavs be terrible, then be decent, then run smack dab into the Jordan years, then be terrible again. Finally Lebron was drafted straight outta high school and into the Cavs who he built into a Finals caliber team… and lost. He left, saw his jersey burned in effigy by fans and a target of a straight up curse by the team’s majority owner (the founder of quicken loans, btw… we won’t go into the type of a-hole that guy actually is). He came back to get the city a title and went to the finals the two years he was there–winning the second time against what still appears to be the better team. So, yeah, that is the whole story. The rest is epilogue.
- Trump. Yep, he still sucks and still continues to capture the hearts of millions of Americans. However, I am in possession of a significant amount of doubt of just how many people are feeling Trump. Here’s the thing: The media won’t say Trump isn’t a story, because they need him to be a story. However, I believe he is not a story–just like Bernie (who I adore) was never really a threat to Clinton’s nomination. The fact remains that there was no story to the democratic nomination process and the insertion of Sanders’ rhetoric created something the media could seize upon as a different message, much in the same way Trump’s bid to make America great again did. Now, speaking of that particular slogan, there have been several notable takedowns, including this one. You gotta love how that dude riles us all up.
- ten and out.
