Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert, The Gift That Keeps On Giving...

Dan Gilbert, majority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers and part owner of the company known as  Fathead (the one that sells those "Real. Big" vinyl wall posters) has again done something grand to make us all smile.

Early yesterday Mr. Gilbert decided it would be cute to mark down the price of all the LeBron James' Fatheads in which he's wearing a Cleveland Cavaliers jersey—to the low, low price of just $17.41.

Fatheads normally start at $99.99 and up!

Well, the price itself wasn't as jaw-dropping as the reason he gave for choosing it—it corresponds with the birth year of Benedict Arnold—a revolutionary war general whose inability to stay loyal to any one side made his name synonymous with betrayal and dishonesty long after his death.

Now, I don't know what Dan Gilbert is trying to prove with his childish antics, but all he really did was give the millions of LeBron James fans who could not afford a Fathead with his likeness on it before, a reason to get it now. Once again, Dan...you lose.

If you check the Fathead site, all of LeBron's Fatheads are marked "sold out". The only one remaining at the time of this posting is the one titled "LeBron James Slam Dunk" (pictured).

I suspect it too will be gone before long.

Explain to me again how this makes you look like a genius? Actually, you know what, forget that, how about you just concentrate on not continuing to look like a whiny, little baby—it's not becoming of the owner of a major franchise. Particularly one who has "guaranteed" a championship before LeBron gets one in Miami.

You should really start focusing all of your energy on making that impossibility come true because you are going to need all the help you can get to make it happen—perhaps Tinkerbell is available to assist you in that endeavor.

Oh, Dan, when will you learn?...tsk...tsk...tsk...(consults clipboard and awards another point to LeBron James).

Somewhere LeBron James is laughing at you, Dan. In truth, we all are. A few words of advice—sit down and shut up—because you are treading dreadfully close to becoming a really bad punchline.

James—2. Gilbert—nil.

Not Smart, Dan. Not Smart at all.
