Last week, Dan LeBatard spoke openly about how he and his radio show team had tried to purchase advertising space in Cleveland newspapers to take a shot at the departing LeBron James.
Well, unless someone has performed some very convincing photoshop work - always a possibility with these things - LeBatard finally found someone to take his money, as said advertisement has popped up on a billboard in Akron.

The billboard is said to be on Tallmadge Avenue near Route 8, where we can confirm there is a billboard, though the GoogleMaps view is somewhat outdated. A 2008 article from the Akron Beacon Journal leads us to believe that J&B Outdoor Inc. may own the billboard, though the opposite side appears to have CBS signage.
In any case, yawn. You really showed LeBron, LeBatard.
