"If the TV variety format weren't already dead, the ghastly ego trip of NBC's Thanksgiving-eve turkey Rosie Live would surely have killed it." -- (link) - Beaker Nov 27, 09:46 3
- this post makes Baby Rosie angry! -- (link) - pigby Nov 27, 09:49 [flickr]
- Was that on last night? I almost wish I had watched it, looks like it was a major trainwreck -- nm - amoxy Nov 27, 09:48

  - They have a good shot at getting Lebron -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 09:49 9
    - There's no reason Lebron should leave Cleveland. Any major marketer can make as much with him there as in NYC...he sells himself regardless of where. - Will Hunting Nov 27, 09:53
    - Yeah, but he will have a worse surrounding cast then he does now -- nm - amoxy Nov 27, 09:51 2

    - he'd be an idiot to go there -- nm - pigby Nov 27, 09:51 4
      - I think it's all about upping his endorsement deals being in a major market. -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 09:52 3
        
        There isn't a company alive that can use Lebron and wants ot use him that doesn't have access now. - Will Hunting Nov 27, 09:54 2
        
        I think he gets even more exposure in a major market. -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 09:55 1
        
        He has enough now. Even I've heard of Lebron James -- nm - Roger More Nov 27, 09:57
