We need to drop a quick note here to clear up something of vast importance. A great injustice has been done.
Over the 1.5+ years this site has been in existence, we’ve never said anything good about Fatheads.
In fact, in the spirit of saving time, let’s quote ourself from last August.
All of your favorite players are available in Fathead form, so if your office lets you hang big 6-foot high Kobe Bryant Fruit Roll-Ups on the walls of your office, this is the thing for you. (Shouldn’t they be marketing these to kids? And if you’re going to call these “Fatheadsâ€Â, should there be some gimmick that’s related to that name? We imagine the number one reaction to the Fathead is “So it’s a poster? I could roll down to Kinkos and get one made myself for 30 bucks, right?â€Â)
If you sense a lack of enthusiam for this product, there’s a reason for that. They’re [censored due to the ALL-NEW PG-RATED YAYsports!].
Now, time to fess up. As of late last night, we’ve got one on our wall. In our bedroom. Not only that, but it’s staying there.
See, the Fathead people (who are now led by Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert) were cool enough to hook us up with some for the movie, and we went ahead and took one home when we were finished with it on set.
Yes, part of us absolutely feels like we’re 12 years old. The other part is staring…wondering…thinking…how is it that the thing actually looks kind of…classy? It makes no sense, but we’re not the only person on the production to note it.*
These things are cool, and there’s no explanation for why. First of all, they’re freaking HUGE. Second of all, “Kobe Bryant Fruit Roll-Ups” is one of the funniest things we’ve ever written, and we say that objectively. (Or subjectively – we always get those mixed up.)
Anyway, off to catch a moment of the Cavs loss to the Gil/Caron-less Wizards. It’s inevitable, unfortunately.
*We were told (kindly) today that we walk the thin line between genius and insanity. It’s very possible this whole “we like Fatheads” thing is due to the latter. We choose to embrace that.

See? I called it. Just like Syd Barrett. The Cavalier has lost his marbles.
So… wait… you have Fatheads in the movie?
You, good sir, are a liar. The Beard wrote about Fatheads during YAYsports! version 1.alpha, and I wrote about them after the Beard shaved and I took his place. However, using your futuristic technology, they have all (the old posts) mysteriously disappeared. Erased from existence. Wiped from the planet.
I just have one question…What’s the future like? I bet it’s warm.
*Sits at Tar Heel’s feet*
Tell me about the old day, grandpa. Tell about when there was more than just NBA on Yay!
Sports Hog don’t do it; unless you want to hear about advice-giving deer and Napoleonic pandas. Would this be something you’d be interested in?
Does the Dwayne Wade Fathead include a wheelchair? Or just small Fatheads of Band-Aids you can customize the D-Wade Fathead with?
With the way teams are limping to the finish, does anybody else forsee a real sub-par Eastern Conf. playoffs shaping up?
WELCOME BACK CAVALIER!
glad ur posts again, the replacements were really wearing thin
Alas it’s only a moment in the weekend. Happy Easter all – we’ll still be back on the 26th!
“Cavs have it fairly easy the rest of March. Pistons, not so much. Hopefully they’re all tied up for the next CLE-DET game on April 8 in Detroit.”
Still 3 back!
Wow, I hadn’t even noticed! Thanks for the update!
Have fun playing the Rnaptors or Heat in the first round!
This is the moment where a lesser man would make “A Few Good Men” jokes. I being a lesser man with little talent will instead play mad libs and not share.
The Bulls are just losing to taunt the Cavs. If the Cavs win thier next game the Bulls are going to win.
There is an eerie silence across the land …
Boo.
It’s almost…..too silent. Something huge must be coming up. The villagers must be hiding in their closets and underneath their dining room tables. Soon they will emerge from their respective homes with pitchforks and burning stakes in hand. They will take over the land that was once theirs just when it’s least expected. Twelve groups of tiny ninja pandas and six sets of ginormous grasshoppers will be released to lead the cavalry into battle. It may be a bloody battle, but a battle that must be fought.
if only every day was.. one weekend. yaay! like in yaysports!
god put the cavalier to write blogs for us
