02.23.07 LEBRON WANTS YOU TO BUY A TRACTOR
LeBron James signed one of the more puzzling endorsement deals I've seen in a while:
Cub Cadet, the premium manufacturer of lawn mowers, lawn tractors and snow throwers, announced the signing of NBA All-Star and Cleveland Cavalier LeBron James to a multi-year endorsement deal to promote a full line of new outdoor power equipment called the Cub Cadet Time Saver Family.
Wow. I knew LeBron was having a disappointing season, but I had no idea things were going so poorly. Why would he sell yard equipment? There's not a chance in hell he does his own yard work. If I were as rich as him I wouldn't just hire people to mow my lawn, I'd hire people to wipe my ass. I'd hire people to chew my food.

and then what? spit the chewed food into your mouth like a bird to its young….you are a sick bastard
Cub Cadet? Isn’t this job for Michael Jackson?
Damn, I typed that too quickly when there’s a whole bunch of “ho” jokes out there. Damn, damn, damn!
If I were as rich as LeBron, I’d hire professionals to manage my image, finances, career etc.
Not that the homies from Akron are doing a bad job … but well … they’ve got their boy pimping lawn gear, regressing on the court, and still stuck in Clevland.
Every since Thome left the Tribe, Cub Cadet and Ford have been looking for a Cleveland athlete to replace him.
Thome would still love to be endorsing Cub Cadet but he had to take his wife to see the Oprah show.
if i had Lebron’s money, i’d hire ryan freel to put out craigslist ads for disease-free sex so i could get a good laugh. every day. yeah. every day.
“These would have been great in the cotton fields” jokes probably won’t make it to air.
This is the first step in what is hopefully a new trend of “mismatched” athletic sponsorships. Next up: Adam “Pacman” Jones promoting Tampex Tampons, with his own personal slogan, “Y’all bitches better clean that nasty shit up in yo crotch, before I smack the taste out yo mouth!”
