Get Yer Crybaby T-Shirts


Well that didn't take TOO too long. Five LeBron James Papa John's Crybaby t-shirts available on the eBays, all priced between $11 and $18. Like I said, if Papa John's would just sell these shirts in D.C., and sell "We're Not Really Crybabies and In Fact the Term Highly Offends Us to the Point That We'll Complain Bitterly But Not, Mind You, to the Point of Tears" t-shirts in Cleveland, plus 23-cent pizzas, everyone would be happy.

Question: In many circumstances, fans of the vanquished team grab hold of the vanquishers' shirt-tails, in order to say that their team at least lost to some top-flight operation. Furthermore, in many circumstances, fans whose teams have been eliminated root for the biggest underdog remaining. Both of those circumstances would suggest Wiz fans root for the Cavs, starting tonight. Hahahahaha. Ok, that wasn't really a question.

And this is not really an answer, but I'm rooting for the Celtics!

some of us fans will be rooting for an asteroid... which i suppose is the greatest underdog of them all.

2nd on asteroid-to-Garden impact.

I'd take a bioterror incident also.

Must you continue with the "Internets", "Interwebs", "EBays", etc. meme? It's been beaten to death.

Papa Johns should be selling those shirts

It's so sad how oversensitive people get. I bet the same people complaining the loudest about the great affront a t-shirt causes are the first to deride other cities for "sucking" or whatever insult they deem at the time. (Based on in-person studies of people's reactions when at sporting events.)

Get a sense of humor. Grow up.

Oh... and I guess since VW is sponsoring DCU, that no one from OH will be buying a Jetta either since that's Columbus territory.

Maybe this paraphrased classic ad campaign'll keep 'em from drinking soda -- Hey Cleveland, make 7.... Up Yours.

Nice game, LeBron.

Go Celtics! Thre cry baby once faked and got a flagrant called on Sam Cassell. And they wonder why the crybaby T-shirt. He was pulled by the jersey and faked like he was hit in the mouth.(once again) Sounds familiar? Go Celtics!

How can people root for the Celtics when Doc Rivers can't coach? Doc is truly OVERRATED!

just bought a shirt, kinda psyched for it to come..

I know most people are busy kissing his posterior and all these days but has anyone else noticed what a whining crybaby Chris Paul can be? Tim Duncan bulges out his eyes and turns his palms to the sky ("What? WHY?") after all benign contact but at least he's earned the right to whine a bit. CP3's been around for 30 minutes, comparatively. Look, I WANT to like CP3, but please stop the whinng and the flailing of arms after all slight and imagined contact. Please.
