Off-topic -- other sports
OK, so the following is off-topic. If you don't want to read something that's not exclusively Yankees, stop now.
Lebron James -- remember, he showed up to an Indians-Yankees playoff game with a Yankees cap on in October -- is making his newest signature sneaker a tribute to the Yankees. I'm sure his Cleveland Cavaliers fans will love that. According to an AP story, the Nike Zir Zoom Lebron V shoe is dominated with the Yankees blue-and-white colors, pinstripes, and James's No. 23. Under the shoe tongue are the words: "Le-Bron Ja-Mes. Clap. Clap. Clap Clap Clap," in an in-the-know nod to the cheer fans at Yankee Stadium do for their favorites (think De-Rek Je-Ter).
According to a Nike spokesperson, the shoe will come out in March and initially be sold only in the New York area. The Cavaliers play the Knicks at Madison Square Garden March 5th.
One other off-topic note. In reading the pre-Super Bowl chatter/hubbub about Patriots QB Tom Brady (is he hurt? what's up with the boot?), I found I just missed running into Brady, his girlfriend supermodel Gisele and Leonardo DiCaprio. I ate at Butter for Restaurant Week last night, and apparently, Tom and Gisele (and separately, her ex, Leonardo) were there later last night. I guess my timing's off, or I could pass along to Giants fans whether Brady was limping or not.

Kat,
I bet Tom Brady is reading this blog right now and saying to himself "darn it, I just missed running into Kat O'Brien!".
We know he's a Yankee fan too, just like LeBron.
Interesting stuff on the shoe deal, LeBron is loyal to our Yanks, that's for sure.
If Lebron James keeps driving 100 MPH he might crash and that would be just horrible. We'd need another completely tattooed role model for our kids!
Tom Brady's girlfriend was on a late night talk show and seems to be functionally retarded. Paul Craig Roberts, the former US Assist. Sec. of the Treasury published a column on Antiwar.com saying Giselle made US$ 30 million last year yet demands to be PAID only in EUROS.
Gee, I wonder why?
Go US Dollar! Woo Hoo!
Maybe she's not so dumb after all.
As for Brady ... the Giants will play them tough in the Super Bowl.
The New York Giants are tough and disciplined. We can overlook the loser tattoos and men in earrings because they play fair and tough and hard. They had a DB making a pro debut in the playoffs making a play. They are a real group, there's no "I" in Team and they know this.
If the Yankees only had 1/10th of their heart. But again, you can't have a TEAM that speaks 5 languages. You just can't. I bet EVERYONE on the Giants has a first language that is English, except the kicker who is from Scotland. You know how strange they talk!
It's hard to mold a team. We just can't seem to do it. It's like 25 individuals. What's the secret formula?
And oh my God, you almost saw Leo. He and his gang stole my story on Sierra Leone for the movie Blood Diamond, changed it and wrecked it. They made the mercenaries out to be the BAD GUYS. They were in fact the good guys. I went to Africa to write this story.
Darn that Leo!
Wow. You really have lost your mind.
How you are able to tie your shoes in the morning is beyond me.
Exactly what Anonymous?
The Dollar?
Giselle?
Ant writing on Sierra Leone?
Do you have a point?
Do you have any FACTS to state otherwise?
No, I thought so.
Or are you a big fat coward afraid to write his own name on the Internet, taunting others cause in person you'd get your Ass Kicked?
Speak up, bro.
I could be an MMA fighter for all you know, so you may want to tone down the empty threats.
I guess "Ant Colony" is your real name, huh?
Actually my birth name is Hugh G. Rection
Another loser (LeBron) liking another loser of a team (the Stanks). If I was Cleveland, I'd show up at a Cavaliers game with the opposing team's hat!
Every one knows that all the winning teams reside in New England!
....don't they?
Pats kill Giants! Another "Boston over NY domination!!!!!!"
God this is getting old! Can't you guys spend a little extra money to put good teams on the field, diamond and court to keep up with Boston?
I'm sorry but Ant Killed you today .. Like I said waaaaay lonng ago Dude is duping Ya'll and people fall for it all the time.
Hugh G Rection.
