Lebron Mania

I have never seen such hoopla in one town over a single individual, let alone a sports figure.  There is actually a Lebron rumors column that shows up every day on the sports page.  There was front page coverage in today's paper about Lebron's interviews of the various teams that bow to his presence.  Then there are the Lebron sightings.  Was Lebron in NY?  Was he in Chicago?  All this plays into our defeatest shriveled Cleveland sports heart.  Don't get me wrong, I would love to see Lebron stay and it would mean a lot to our city.  We have never had a major sports star of this magnitude in this city since Jim Brown.  But it is basketball and life will go on if he leaves.  I would hope that we can actually give this much attention to actual issues in our city.
