LeBron James and Brett Favre

Today is the day. LeBron James will make his long-awaited announcement during an hour-long special on ESPN at 9:00 PM EDT.

Mike Wise, of the Washington Post, writes:

Many people have asked me recently, "Mike, you used to cover the NBA regularly -- do you know where LeBron James is going?"

Being the responsible kind of columnist who checks his facts before he writes, I always promptly reply, "Yes.

"LeBron is going to Hades, which is worse than Cleveland. He will be sent there for putting us through this unseemly charade in which one basketball player who has won exactly zero NBA championships has decided to hold a league hostage because nothing else is on TV."

Will I watch "The Decision" at 9 p.m. on ESPN? Of course I will watch. Because let's face it, America, other than authenticating the Shroud of Turin or finding a bathtub stopper big enough to plug a spewing hole in the Gulf, are any of life's real mysteries left other than what city LeBron James will not take beyond the second round of the playoffs next year?

That's kind of funny.

I like this tweet from Andy Levy:

Really hoping LeBron will announce he's coming back 4 another year w the Vikings so we can kill 2 obnoxious birds w 1 stone.

That's great.
