quote:

A Miami radio program on Tuesday attempted to buy a full-page advertisement in The Plain Dealer to poke fun at LeBron James.

A mock-up of the advertisement posted on Twitter depicts two Miami Heat championship rings above the words "You're Welcome, LeBron." Below are the words "Sincerely, Miami Heat Fans."



quote:

"They have declined our money," LeBatard said. "They do not want our money. They will not allow us to put our ad in the paper."


quote:

LeBatard also said during his show that part of the reason he wanted to buy ad space in The Plain Dealer was because LeBron James has yet to publicly thank Miami Heat fans.




Thoughts?

That is because they are all Cavs fans now.

Lebron just decided it would be easier to call the 17 fans on the phone.

He didn't say anything about Miami fans in the letter. Dan has been harping on that ever since.

He actually never mentioned the Miami fans. Instead of moving on though some fans are getting pissy.

Is Lebatard really unhappy about this? The Miami fans are terrible, why does he need to thank them publicly.

LeBatard comes off looking like a bigger moron than usual.

Patience Lebatard, patience. Bron Bron might show himself during training camp.

I've always thought LeBaTARD was just that, a retarded d-bag, and I'm indifferent about LeBron.

Lebron owes nothing to Miamis fans. He came, he delivered 2 titles to them. Actions speak louder than words

LeBron should retort by buying an article

You're welcome Miami Heat Fans

Sincerely,
LeBron James

He did it tongue-in-cheek. Anyone who has listened to the show regularly knows this is a big joke. The idea originally started on the Miami morning show and then Lebatard, Stugotz, and Greg Cote started debating on how much an ad would cost, with Cote suggesting it would cost $100,000.

If you've listened to Dan at all you'd know he's the only one on the show that holds no ill will at all towards LeBron.

I don't get why he should thank them? Because they welcomed him with open arms in 2010 while the rest of the country was blasting him? Did he thank Cavs fans when he left the first time?

And full disclosure, I like Dan and his show, but this just seems stupid and petty.

Actually lebatard was just trying to be funny. He has consistently said he doesn't care if Lebron thanks the fans.
