Who is that? Oh, it's LeBron ... one of the few things in sports lately that doesn't PISS ME OFF!

Before I get into sports ...

My phone is in the other room and it keeps going "zing-a-zang," meaning I'm probably getting a ton of junk mail.  That pisses me off.  Why do we still call these devices cell phones, anyway?  Anyone got a new name for them?  Throw some suggestions out there.  From now on I am going to refer to my ... Blackberry thingy device ... as my (ready for this) "Signal Caller."  You heard it here first.

It's 11:30 a.m. and I've had a few Yuenglings after hanging some Christmas lights and having dinner.  That pisses me off.  I've been working the graveyard shift for about a week now and I'm still not used to it.  They tell me that I only have to do it for 6 months.  Right now my schedule is completely reversed.  When I wake up at 6 p.m., my wife has dinner while I eat a bowl of Cheerios.  Weird.  She sleeps while I work.  I sleep while she works.  Weird.  And that pisses me off.

Our beloved Cleveland Browns don't know how to score a touchdown.  That pisses me off.

Romeo Crennel just isn't in it anymore.  He doesn't care about a quarterback situation.  Fans would like to see Josh Cribbs taking snaps.  Why not?  But Romeo just doesn't care and nobody can really blame him.  With all the injuries, sicknesses and lackluster play from marquee players this team has endured in 2008, I cannot fathom why the front office is talking about cleaning house (i.e., firing Romeo and Chudzinski, and demoting Savage - yeah, they are talking about taking away some of his power as GM).  These things are making no sense to me and ... it pisses me off.

The Cavaliers are destroying the NBA.  That doesn't piss me off.  I was excited to hear that the Cavs tied an NBA record for winning 8-straight games by at least 12 points.  Amazing feat!  And in about 3-4 of those games LeBron played little or none of the 4th quarter.  Awesome!  Save the legs!  I liked how LeBron showed support for his buddy, Stephen Curry, when the Cavs recently traveled to Charlotte and he stopped by early to watch Curry's Davidson team play a college game.  Curry is a class act.  Sort of reminds me of a small version of Tim Duncan.  What pisses me off about the LeBron 2010 situation are all the haters out there telling LeBron to keep his mouth shut.  Also, the haters who are already starting to dislike LeBron for even thinking about going to another team.  All I have to say about the situation is this: If the Cavs do what they need to do in order to keep LeBron in Cleveland, they will have nothing to worry about.  The team we have right now will not keep LeBron in Cleveland.  It just won't.  So if the Cavs do nothing, it is the Cavaliers' fault.  All LeBron is doing is making sure what he wants out of this organization is clearly placed out there for the front office to realize with more than enough time to make things happen.  Yes, even though the Cavs have won 16 of 17, this current roster will not keep LeBron in Cleveland.

This is what Bill Simmons had to say about this situation, and I love it:

"Why don't more people realize that the Cavs, already really good, will be even better three months from now?

Only 5-to-1 odds to win the title?  Really?  Even in this crummy economy, with ticket sales about to drop through the basement, the Cavs can't blow their LeBron Window for one reason: If they win a title, he might stay and save professional basketball in Cleveland.  Money is no object.  They don't care.  And given that they have $20 million worth of expiring contracts (Wally Z. plus Eric Cnow) as well as two favorable contracts (Andy Varejao and Sasha Pavlovic), that means the following guys are in play for them: Mike Miller and Michael Redd (the two biggies), along with Josh Howard, Shawn Marion, Gerald Wallace, Jason Richardson, Rasheed Wallace, Brad Miller, Raja Bell, Leandro Barbosa and Antawn Jamison.

For instance, let's say they traded Wally, J.J. Hickson and $3 million to Minnesota for Mike Miller and $10 million worth of Brian Cardinal and Mark Madsen in 2010 ... then they dealt Pavlovic, Snow and a 2009 No. 1 pick to Wasington for Jamison and Darius Songaila's mildly reprehensible contract.  Two reasonable trades, right?  Cleveland gets two blue-chippers; Minnesota and Washington save money, gain cap space and position themselves for 2009 (fan-tanking) and 2010 (the free-agent bonanza).  Wouldn't the Cavs become the favorites if they landed Jamison AND Miller without giving up anyone in their top eight?  I'd be more scared as a Celtics fan if Mike Brown wasn't in charge.  The point is - they definitely add one more elite guy and possibly two.  Which means that our top three (Boston, Cleveland, Los Angeles) could end up more loaded than any top three since 1993 (Chicago, New York, Phoenix).  This is a good thing."

The fact that so-called Cavs fans haven't yet realized this pisses me off.
