LeBum: Tweets I Wanted to See on LeBron James' Twitter Page:

"Hey man, thanks for taking over the most hated athlete in the world category from me. Now that Elin is gone, and you're idiotic "Decision" are now over, I can now get back to concentrating and maybe win a few majors. Maybe people will stop hating me altogether and channel their anger to you. BTW, where should we go for our birthday retreat this year?"-EldrickTigerWoods

"LeBron James is a turrible player who will never be more than a sidekick to D-Wade. Turrible, just turrible. Almost as turrible as the city of Cleveland. Yo, Dan Gilbert, gimme a call when that casino of yours opens, and cop me a room with some stippers, playa!"-CBark34

"I can't believe you left us! Now who is going to make me look good on the court, so people don't realize that I'm a rich man's Joakim Noah?! I mean come on! Have you compared his nightly boxscore to mine? It's insane!"-WildThingAndy17

"Hey Bronny Bron! It's ya boy, Coach Mike Brown. Listen, I've been thinkin': I'm a terrible coach and after the playoffs this year and last, everybody knows it, so it's not just obvious to you, Mo, Andy, Z, Shaq, and the crew. And since nobody is gonna be hiring ol' Mikey B, maybe you can talk to Spoelstra and Riles, and get me a job with the Miami Heat! Holla atcha boy!"-CoachMikeBrown

"Why are you still alive? Why?! Why won't you return my phonecalls?! Why won't you look at me when we make love? You're thinking about him, aren't you! Just run away to D-Wade...See if I care! Where did I go so wrong?!?! COME BACK TO ME!!!!"-DGilbert

"Daddy, ever since you decided to leave Cleveland, but keep us, you're family, in Northeast Ohio, the kids beat me up every day at school. They say mean things like "Your daddy ruined the Cavs!" and "Your daddy quit in the playoffs!" or "My daddy drinks and hits me because your daddy decided to leave town!". Make them stop!"-LBJ23jr

"Something about My dad, Boston sports teams, Almost Famous, Boogie nights, and SportsGal"-Sportsguy33

"I would've never gone and played on the same team with my friends. I got the job done myself, with a little help from Scottie and D-Rod. Man, Rodman was a freak. I remember this one time he came to my house and robbed us, but the only thing he took was Juanita's wedding dress. What a freak! But back to the topic at hand. If you think you're better than me, you're outcha damn mind."-TheREAL23

"I know you brought Big Z to South Beach. What about Wally?!!?!"-Szczrb
KingJames "I don't care what team you're on- I can't wait to knock you out of the playoffs again."-RealKevinGarnett5

"Yo, Bron. Tell yo mama to give me a call. I haven't heard from her in a couple of days, and if she's with Mo or Andy, Ima go off my meds, get on my bike with my guitar case fulla gats and pay yall a visit. Just kidding. But seriously, tell her to call me. She's got my digits."-DWest13

"Glad I'm no longer the most hated former Cavalier for the way I left!"

-RealBoozer

"I would've left Cleveland too" -JoakimNoah

Wtf?!?! #7 UPDATE!!!!!

In light of recent events, James Harrison of the Pittsburgh Steelers is mulling retirement. Reported here, Harrison doesn't think he can play football if he's going to be fined every time he makes a "legal" tackle.

First of all James, there was NOTHING legal about those two hits that knocked out Cribbs and Massaquoi. Second of all, I would've liked to have seen the fine be a little higher than $75,000 for his hit on Massaquoi, and the WR's agent said it best when he said that a $75k fine was hardly a deterrent, considering that he's made over $20 million in the last three years alone. Third of all, if you don't think that you can make "legal" tackles without going helmet first, or if you don't think that you can make a tackle without giving someone a concussion, then I'd say maybe you shouldn't be playing football.

Cheers and Jeers

Wtf?!?! #7

As a football fan, I love seeing people get hit. I'm not talking about lame tackles that subsequently bring the ball carrier down. I'm talking violent, bone-crushing, smash mouth football. And I know that I'm not the only one. It's exciting. It's part of the game. It's why people watch football. But while we, the fans, are perched high atop the bleachers, one can lose sight of just how dangerous this sport is. Sure, they wear pads and helmets, but that doesn't make it safe. I'm not talking about a player tearing a hamstring while running with the football or a QB hurting his elbow or shoulder while throwing the ball. Some of these hits are downright scary. Sometimes, the person getting tackled isn't the one getting hurt the most. On Saturday, Rutgers DL Eric LeGrand went for a tackle and is now paralyzed from the neck down. Things like this don't usually happen, but when they do occur, it makes you realize just how dangerous this game can be. Sidenote, you should send LeGrand a get well message. I'm sure he'd like it.

Everyone knows that the Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the most ferocious defenses in the NFL today. So when the Browns went into Pittsburgh this past Sunday, nobody expected a big offensive day for Cleveland. One man wrecking-crew James Harrison made sure that the Browns offense wouldn't have a big day, by single handedly taking out two key offensive players for the Cleveland Browns. The first hit was on Josh Cribbs on a wildcat play. Cribbs was already being tackled by a Steelers defender when Harrison leveled him, causing him to fumble the ball. Cribbs had control of the ball, and thus no flag was thrown on the play. However, if you think there was no foul on the play, you should get your eyes checked. The Browns star kick-returner was lying on the ground. Harrison said of the hit on Cribbs: "I thought Cribbs was asleep. A hit like that geeks you up, especially when you find out the guy is not really hurt, he's just sleeping. He's knocked out but he's going to be OK." You're right, James-he'll be okay. Maybe in a week or so, when he recovers from his concussion. Let's be honest-hit was brutal, but it was nothing compared to what Mohamed Massaquoi endured from Harrison. Massaquoi was Colt McCoy's intended receiver, and Harrison destroyed him, breaking up the pass. Watch the highlights. Scroll down to the Massaquoi injury video, and listen to how loud that hit is. It's chilling. Harrison's general reaction to the hits are equally disturbing

"If I get fined for that, it's going to be a travesty. They didn't call [a penalty] on that. There's no way I could be fined for that. It was a good, clean legit hit. ... I didn't hit that hard, to be honest with you".

What's my bottom line? The NFL needs to fine James Harrison, and any other player who launches himself, helmet first into any player- big time. Helmet-to-helmet hits are not an essential part of the game. I seriously hope that the NFL starts consistently fining players for these gruesome hits. It's not football. It's brutality.
