VIDEO: Weatherman uses weed wacker to demonstrate disgust with Cavs' loss

David Richard-USA TODAY Sports

One of the concurrent strengths and weaknesses of local media is hometown bias towards sports teams. Mark Johnson, meteorologist at Cleveland's WEWS-TV, has no reservations about supporting his Cleveland Cavaliers, as he has already demonstrated with his lively critiquing of NBA refereeing.

Following the Cavs loss on Thursday night in Game 4, Johnson likened the Golden State Warriors' perceived freedom to hack LeBron James to a weed wacker blowing through a sheet of paper.

To be fair, he was also critical of the cold-shooting J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert, suggesting they were playing with a cinder block rather than a ball.

Generally speaking, prop comedy doesn't work, but Johnson appears to be pretty good at this.
