When ESPN's Dan Le Batard had his LeBron-busting ad rebuffed by a Cleveland newspaper, he didn't give up on his dream of taking a light-hearted, public shot at LeBron James on behalf of Miami Heat fans. Instead, he put the ad on a billboard in Akron, Ohio.

This was all done in good fun, but Le Batard's shenanigans didn't sit well with ESPN. According to the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson, Le Batard has been suspended by ESPN for two days:
