So it wasn’t disinformation after all. LeBron to Miami. Lame.
When he made the announcement, I was reading "Ella Bella Ballerina" to Loyette.
FRIDAY MORNING UPDATE: I’m consolidating my recent LeBron James-related tweets below, and deleting most of the original tweet-posts (basically, all of ’em except the ones that have gotten some comments), so the homepage won’t be quite so cluttered. All times MDT.
Wed, 10:47 PM: 
Per @alanhahn, “multiple sources” tell Newsday it’s LeBron to Miami. Beware misinformation & misdirection, says I. #thefogoflebron
Wed, 10:48 PM: RT @ArashMarkazi: If LeBron leaves Cleveland, this one-hour special is the equivalent buying TV time to publicly file for divorce and commit to someone else.
Wed, 10:50 PM: 
Hypothetically, if LeBron (and ESPN?) wanted to maximize the impact of tomorrow’s TV special, they’d make sure word leaks out that he’s going somewhere else — like, say, Miami — and then “surprise” everyone with the news that — OMG! — he’s staying in Cleveland instead. Just sayin’.
Thu, 7:27 AM: RT @The40YearOldBoy: LeBron’s show is an infomercial, so it needs an infomercial name. Here you go: Sham. Wow.
Thu, 8:09 AM: RT @LeBronsVerdict: LeBron James will overturn Bush v. Gore. #lebrondecision
Thu, 9:06 AM: RT @Sh*tMyDarthSays: “I’d like to announce that LeBron James has officially decided to join the Dark Side. Together we will rule the NBA.”
Thu, 9:17 AM: RT @mattmolloy: I think Lindsay Lohan should do a 1-hour special to compete with Lebron James. Which California correctional facility will she choose?
Thu, 9:20 AM: InTrade odds on LeBron staying in Cleveland down to 27%. I rate that as a BUY. There’s an excellent chance this Miami talk is disinformation. How hard would it be for Team LeBron’s inner sanctum to selectively leak information to “sources” who then tell reporters what they “know”? Can’t believe they’d schedule TV special & then use it to announce he’s abandoning his hometown to join a self-selected Dream Team of Greed. But CAN believe they’d deliberately spread that false rumor, then shock everyone with the news that, never mind, he’s staying in Cleveland!
Thu, 1:28 PM: RT @USABreakingNews: ESPN: Sources indicate that LeBron James will announce that he is signing with the Miami Heat tonight. RT @fivethirtyeight: Betting markets now give #LeBron a 70-75% chance of signing with Heat. MSG stock down ~5%. http://bit.ly/cWumwa RT @ChrisMannixSI: If LeBron signs anywhere but Miami it will be the greatest example of misdirection since Jackman’s character vanished in The Prestige.
Thu, 4:39 PM: RT @InsideHoops: Unnamed sources reveal that sources close to the situation have no idea what they’re talking about.
Thu, 5:28 PM: RT @Jesus_M_Christ: I was going to announce my Second Coming tonight at 9pm, but I can see you’re all busy with something else.
Thu, 6:31 PM: RT @Drudge_Report: Police in riot gear deployed on streets… http://drudge.tw/bNc3SL | This LeBron stuff is getting out of hand. What? Oh.
Thu, 6:33 PM: #DISINFORMATION. Like I said. RT @WojYahooNBA: LeBron’s camp still selling Miami hard as the choice, but Cavs officials believe he’ll stay.
Thu, 6:34 PM: RT @Stareagle: ESPN is reporting that security is being increased in Cleveland in case LeBron picks Miami. It’s only basketball, folks.
Thu, 6:35 PM: 25 minutes until LeBronOcalypse. I still think he stays in Cleveland. Miami reports = pure disinformation, brilliantly executed.
Thu, 6:36 PM: Heh. RT @adjoro: BREAKING: Negotiations between LeBron James and USC have broken down due to salary cap restrictions.
Thu, 6:36 PM: RT @ChrisDobbertean: My prediction for after 9 p.m. tonight: THE WORLD WILL STILL BE ROTATING ON ITS AXIS | Twitter, on the other hand…
Thu, 6:37 PM: Sweet! LeBron to Denver! RT @LeBronsVerdict: h/t @pourmecoffee, LeBron James will pull off mask & reveal he is Tim Tebow. #lebrondecision
Thu, 6:37 PM: RT @LeBronsVerdict: LeBron James will stand up and shout “No, you lie!” at Joe Wilson. #lebrondecision
Thu, 6:38 PM: Heh. RT @Jerry_Brewer: Haha. RT @ericcrawford: Report: Last-minute offer to join Big Ten Conference clouds James’ “Decision”
Thu, 7:00 PM: Bedtime for the girls. Good thing there’s nothing good on TV that I’m missing.
Thu, 7:07 PM: RT @ArashMarkazi: They are showing “The Decision” on the outfield Jumbotron at Dodger Stadium. http://twitpic.com/23lv2s
Thu, 7:08 PM: RT @polarscribe: This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. #lebrongasm
Thu, 7:17 PM: One bedtime down, one to go. No word from LeBron yet, according to my Twitter stream. http://twitpic.com/23lxqs
Thu, 7:21 PM: RT @KevinCurranX: Forget LeBron. Is Ginny Weasley going to stay with the Holyhead Harpies or is there another Quidditch team out there that can snag her?
Thu, 7:23 PM: Heh. RT @aglock: @brendanloy Loyette needs to watch this, so she can understand why Carmelo does this to Denver next summer. 🙂
Thu, 7:28 PM: RT @USABreakingNews: SPORTS ALERT: LeBron James chooses to join the Miami Heat.
Thu, 7:41 PM: CNN Breaking News — NBA star LeBron James says he’ll sign with the Miami Heat, capping frenzied free-agency speculation.
Thu, 7:48 PM: RT @slmandel: Next up on ESPN: “The Decision 2” starring Seantrel Henderson
Thu, 7:49 PM: RT @daveweigel: Don’t worry, folks. At some point LeBron will tweet something untoward and they’ll fire him.
Thu, 7:50 PM: This just feels so anticompetitive & gross, free agents constructing their own self-selected Dream Team of Greed. Not how sports should be.
Thu, 7:51 PM: RT @LeBronsVerdict: In the past few days, LeBron went from being one of the most beloved figures in sports to one of the most hated. Congrats.
Thu, 7:51 PM: RT @philipaklein: So did the Heat just replace the Yankees as the most hated team in sports?
Thu, 8:15 PM: RT @mzemek: The 1960s LBJ was far worse, I know… BUT: “HEY, HEY, LBJ! HOW MANY FANS DID YOU STAB TODAY? HEY, HEY, LBJ, GUTTING CLEVELAND NOT OK!”
Thu, 11:07 PM: Cavs owner Dan Gilbert SLAMS LeBron James in open letter to fans
Fri, 9:00 AM: RT @EricFisherSBJ: Beyond the ridiculous comic sans font, the Gilbert letter is funny if you read with Chris Farley voice in your head giving the airquotes.
