Check this shit out:
CLEVELAND -- Papa John's Pizza issued an apology to Cleveland and the Cavaliers for making T-shirts with LeBron James' number and the word "crybaby" under it.
To apologize, Papa John's will sell Cleveland residents a large, one-topping pizza for 23 cents on Thursday. The 23 is an homage to James' jersey number. The company also will donate $10,000 to the Cavaliers Youth Fund.
The pizza chain's T-shirts were featured during the Cavs' games against the Wizards on Friday in Washington. Wizards fans taunted the Cavs, who won the playoff series that night in Game 6.
The shirts started after James complained about hard fouls, and Wizards center Brendan Haywood called him a crybaby.

First...HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!
Aw, shit! This is almost the funniest thing I have ever read.
Who the hell at Papa John's said that yes...it will be a great idea, a grand idea to sell T-shirts mocking one of the greatest in the game? Oh, and be sure to put our logo on it! To hell with any backlash this may cause! It will be funny!
BWHHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!
My personal opinion: At times, LeBron can be a big ass crybaby. He's always talking about how big and tall he is and how he used to play football. But...he gets knocked down and lays on the floor like a bitch. I even thought what Brendan Haywood said was pretty hilarious.
Despite all that, though...I would have never thought a major pizza chain would do something stupid like this.
23 cent pizzas? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I might order 100 pizzas and go pass them out to bums Downtown. What should you tip your delivery person???
Oh, hell...LMAO!

It's funny if the corporate jack asses actually get out of their offices, roll up their sleeves, make the pizza and deliver them.
Otherwise it's just more work for the delivery guys and pizza makers who are overworked/undperpaid and really don't give a crap anyway.
I'm all for passing out some pies to the homeless!
Hahahaha...this is too funny. I didn't even know about this at all...
We were discussing this in the office today. I am so sure they are going to put a limit per household or something, because if we order pizza for our entire office we'll shut down the Papa John's on Chagrin.
I wonder who was the Sherlock that thought of the t-shirt idea and if they get a severance package.
Confession Time... I've been lurking for a while now and I have to say I absolutely love your blog, keep on with the keep on(corny I know).
LOLOLOL! I love this! hahaha
I can't decide if Papa John's is incredibly stupid or incredibly gangsta. Either way, I'll take it, lol
Tghat shit was tight to me ;-)
@ diva: I read in the paper today that it was a local Washington branch that decided to print the shirts...not the corporate branch. What assholes. LOL!
@ charles: Glad I could inform you. That's some funny shit, right?
@ tash: I'm wondering about a limit too but they didn't put anything in the paper about it.
@ misstory: Thanks for coming!!! All lurkers COME OUT! It's okay! I don't bite. LOL! Miss, I checked you out...
@ la: LMAO! I think I'll take pictures of my 23 cent pizza on Thursday and blog about it. LMAO!
@ boss: What was tight? The shirts? I agree...it's funny but equally retarded.
if i need to find out any news abt sports i just bring my ass over here.

@ kb: LMMFAO!!!! I just choked on my granola bar. You are a piece of work, dammit! But I luv you to bits!
monie, i can't lie. lebron is a monster but he does cry alot. which is funny because he gets away with EVERYTHING. lol. it's going to be fun seeing the cavs go against the Cs. i actually think this will be the series were lebron is immortalized. cavs in 6.
@ don: Word?! Cavs in 6? I have to say...you have more faith than me. As much as it pains my heart and soul to say this...Celtics in 6.
We'll see what happens though...I'm can't WAIT!
i don't there is anyone the celtics who can stop lebron. and neither does he. dude is a beast against boston - almost like he takes it personal.
and boston has a weak frontcourt. which i think is the cavs strength.
*i don't think there is anyone on the celtics...
typing on a phone, typing faster than a mofo too. LOL.
@ don: HAHAHAHAHA! Don't hurt yourself, honey.
I see what you're saying but...the Celts do have the winningest (yup winningest) record going into this postseason and though the Cavs have a strong frontcourt, they can sometimes play inconsistently. That's what I'm scared of. The Washington series should have been over in 4.
You know what it is...that gotdamn Ray Allen. That nigga don't miss! I think the Hawk series was...a big ass fluke.
Shit, I don't know. The first two games are in Boston. I think if we come out of there with a win, we might be in good shape.
Girl bye! where have i been? i didn't hear about this, i also didn't watch the game, i was a ball of nerves on friday, i never watch important games-im a sucka like that. that's crazy, i'm so glad they quit playing with them busters(took it way back right?!?) and finished them off!
I'm not mad at Papa John's for making the t-shirts but I'm mad that they are doing a Ray Nagin and taking it back. Bron Bron is always crying.
he is a cry baby... i am so not a lebron fan... and I love me some Papa John's...lol
All i know is you owe us a part 3. Forget all this LeBron talk and hop to that story, young lady. LOL
@ steph: OMG, I can be like that too. I'll DVR the game, wait for a half hour and then start watching it...after I've checked the score to see if it's even worth watching. LOL!
@ krush: They had to take it back. The idiots didn't know that duh...Cleveland has tons of PJ locations. They would have went bankrupt in Ohio. Clevelanders love them some LeBron...
@ eb: Get out!
@ rah: Sorry, babe. I'm on it...
Oh and by the way The Cavs and Papa Johns both SUC-to-the-K. *Holding up a big ass poster* Team Rockets and Domino's Baby!!!
I know I'm late but thanks for this post I needed to laugh.
LOL at the tip...but why couldn't they wait until memorial day when I'll BE in Ohio for the weekend? Oh well...
calm down, monie. it's just one game. Lebron will bounce back. LOL. and yeah Ray Allen is deadly from the arc.
What about New Orleans? They are manhandling the Spurs. That's shocking.
Oh Don...two games now. I KNEW this was gonna happen.
And N.O.?! OMG...Chris Paul is losing his mind on those fools. I love him.
Its funny im the 24th person to write on this BS btwn Papa John's and #23. I wish i could have one of them damn shirts.. I thought this shit was hilarious and to see you took some pics.. that line - funny as hell..
waddup hun -Q.
