Michigan Man Blames DUI on LeBron
If LeBron spurning the Celtics drives you to drink, you've got bigger problems -- because that never even happened

LeBron James is taking an awful lot of heat these days (pun totally intended), some of it deserved and some otherwise.
Sure, The Decision was a vomit-inducing vapid spectable, but when one AP writer suggested, without irony, that LeBron write a letter of explanation to the children of Ohio for "stunning" them, it was clear just how far America has fallen down the rabbit hole.
It was only a matter of time until someone blamed LeBron for a DUI -- and if you had Michigan in your office pool, congrats:
For one man, basketball player LeBron James's choice to play for Miami was just too much.According to police reports, police stopped the driver, a 30-year-old Flint man, after watching his vehicle drift over the center line and the shoulder of the road...Police reported that the man appeared to be intoxicated.
When asked if he’d been drinking the man said that he had been drinking, and it was because LeBron James had decided to play for the Miami Heat instead of the Boston Celtics.
Good grief. The Celtics, you'll recall, weren't even in the running for LBJ's services. And now that he's being fingered for things that never even existed in reality, we'll soon see him blamed for Drew Barrymore's Golden Globes win, the fall of Minis Tirith, and Heidi Montag's marriage to Spencer Pratt.
Oh, one of those was real? Dammit LeBron, what have you done?!?!
