Does anybody *really* care that much about where LeBron ends up playing? Is it worth an hour of TV time? Oops, sorry, TV also 'rents' itself out to infomercials during slow hours, causes endless fascination over who gets axed on Apprentice, American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, etc., so I guess that was a stupid rhetorical question.
Personally, I'd rather work in the garden, listen to music, visit with friends or read a book. Or even go to bed early. Not that I wish anything bad for Mr. James, but honestly, is this worth the media hype? I don't think so.
I'm also pretty tired of hearing about the pop culture flavor of the moment, who right now seems to be either a young blond actress on trial for something or other, or a actor-director-producer without verbal or mental restraint. Personally speaking, if this is 'culture' it's better suited to a petri dish.
I guess once you're 'famous' and/or have some bucks, it's OK to act like a self-absorbed idiot. Or is that being eccentric? Eccentric literally derives from 'out of' or 'off' and 'center'. Hmm, maybe we are on to something here. . . .
All right, enough ranting. Now go read a newspaper or do something to make your community a better place in which to live. Find a volunteer organization and donate a few hours of time and energy to making things better. Let the TV sit idle, the sports, sit coms, and variety shows will survive without you for a day.
