You can quote him on that....


Cavs owner Dan Gilbert is not a fan of LeBron James, but he's a big fan of putting words in quotation marks.

And not just words that call for "quotation marks". But for "words" that don't "need" any quotation "marks". Words like "who" and "right" would be just fine without quote marks, but for some reason Dan Gilbert felt they needed more. Get it? Click here and maybe this will help.

In his now infamous letter to Cavs fans, I counted 10 instances. And one was, get this, quoting his own sentence within his own letter. Huh? Is that even legal?

I know he's mad LeBron left, but quotations won't bring him back. Neither will unnecessary ALL-CAP letters SPRINKLED here and THERE.

I know many people were offended by his letter. And I can't blame them. Seriously - "Comic Sans"? There wasn't any other font you could've used? One that's, say, "professional-looking"? Who's your PR guy - the same one LeBron uses?

Cheer up Cavs fans, (both of you). There are brighter days ahead. You still have Shaq, right?
