Lebron Agrees in Principle with Browns

Lebron James is a Cleveland Brown.

He’s had enough of the talk about his free agency in 2010, so he put all the rumors to rest during the Championship round of the NFL playoffs. He will not be a Brooklyn Net. He will not be a Cleveland Cavalier. He will, in fact, be a Cleveland Brown.

Sadly, this might just be the best news the Browns have gotten since 1996 when they first learned they were moving to Baltimore.

As for Lebron, he was a great wide out for St. Vincent/St. Mary’s High School…allegedly. I’ll believe it when I see it. One thing is for sure though; he will undoubtedly be a better receiver than Braylon Edwards. But then again, so would Ike Taylor and he hasn’t caught anything since the summer of ‘93 when he and his uncle reeled in a blue gill outside of New Orleans.

"I’m big. I’m very fast and I have excellent hands,” James said via email. “And besides, I’m getting bored with this NBA nonsense.”

The commercial – err – press conference may have appeared to be a hoax and may have even come across as a dream, but sources very close to the wannabe global superstar have assured me that this move across professional sporting leagues is very real.

The Browns hope to be the second franchise in Cleveland to be resurrected by the Chosen One. He can’t walk on water, but we thought water couldn’t catch on fire either. In Cleveland, anything is possible.

“The Browns were the obvious choice,” James said. I could not imagine myself anywhere other than Cleveland. That is unless, of course, either of the New York teams are interested.”

The terms and conditions of the preliminary agreement have not been released.
