Kyrie Irving drives a way better car than you ever will. Cavs in 5.

Kyrie Irving is Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne is Kyrie Irving That looks like a car straight out of the Dark Knight Rises. Kids, this is what you buy when you have your own signature Nike shoe named after you.

The original tweet from @GordoSouth says it’s a Lamborghini Aventador. A perfect car for the weather in Northeast Ohio and the finely kept streets of downtown Cleveland. According to a very quick search on Google this is what the car is listed at:

It’s nice to see Kyrie is still a man of the people and pumps his own gas even on game days. I know I wouldn’t if I were him. But he’s still just a regular guy like you or I… except for the $400K car and the whole being one of the best basketball players on the planet thing.

Someone tell him the only way he should be driving this car is dressed like this:

PS- Not sure if this is was even blogworthy or not but I knew about Johnny moving out of his apartment like last Friday (humblebrag?) and thought “who the hell would care about that?” Meanwhile yesterday every sports blog under the sun had the story and it even got a little segment on ESPN. So yeah, definitely missed out on that one and it’ll probably haunt me for a month. Them’s the breaks in this blog eat blog world I guess.

Also, h/t to @GordoSouth. Gordon is actually a friend of mine so it’s funny that I’m giving him a hat tip when I could just text him and say “Hey Gordon, good picture bro.”

Akron man escapes from prison, does not get caught immediately

From Cleveland.com:

“An Akron man who escaped from a Sandusky work camp more than a half century ago was arrested Monday at his home in Florida.

Frank Freshwaters, 79, was taken into custody in Melbourne, Florida where he lived for years under the name William Harold Cox.

Freshwaters, then of Akron, on July 3, 1957 hit an Akron husband and father while driving more than 50 miles per hour in a 35-zone on South Arlington Road.

He was sentenced April 25, 1958 to five years of probation after pleading guilty to second-degree manslaughter.

Freshwaters violated probation and a judge sentenced him to up to 20 years in prison. He began serving his sentence at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, the prison where the movie “The Shawshank Redemption” was filmed.

He was eventually moved to the less restrictive Sandusky Honor Farm after earning the trust of prison officials. He escaped after about seven months at the facility and fled Ohio.”

Frankie Fresh! You were so close my man. What a tremendous kick in the dick that must have been for him to have the fuzz finally knock on his door after 56 years of freedom. So close to the finish line. He’ll still be able to ride off into the sunset, but there won’t be quite as much sun, and I’m guessing he might not be the one doing the riding.

Good to know though, if I ever go to prison and escape, my ass is headed right to West Virginia. Just straight up refused to extradite a guy who apparently killed two people. DGAF at the State level.

Also, I’m no expert in the realm of law enforcement, but you gotta question the allocation of resources to a 79-year-old grandpappy who was originally sentenced to a whopping five years probation. Can’t imagine he posed too much of a threat to anyone. And the Cleveland.com commenters brought their usual fastballs:

PS Apparently Florida Sheriff Maj. Tod Goodyear just does not watch any television or movies, because last time I checked, a trailer at the end of a dead-end and rarely traveled road in a marshy area with no neighbors is most certainly NOT “the perfect place to hide.”
