    This seems pretty harmless to me and he even admits its for gags.

    Highly Questionable is one of the best shows on TV.

    Anytime you work for a company and your name represents the company of which you work for, then you can't simply represent the company in a deogatory way. If you are making fun of a sports personality, when your company is the leader in sports coverage....then it doesn't look good.

    Dan went on and on during his show denying he had anything to do with this. Even calling out the represatives that were calling and claiming to have talked to "his rep".... he made quite the spectacle of denying the actions. I think its funny that he has now been suspended for it.

    I guess we just look at what was done differently. I dont really see that as a truly negative prank/joke. I just see it as prodding a guy who forgot to thank the Miami organization, etc. The suspension just seems extreme to me.

    ESPN is lame for doing that.

    I'm not sure how that reflects negatively on ESPN. ESPN suspending the guy makes them look bad. That's a fail, IMO. ESPN should have made a special to see what LeBrons reaction to the sign is.
