Cleveland DJ helps cast a spell on LeBron

ACLEVELAND RADIO host, who goes by the name of Rover, hired a witch doctor to put a hex on the Heat's LeBron James yesterday morning.

According to WMMS-FM, which broadcasts "Rover's Morning Glory" show, the witch doctor used bones, blood and a James jersey to put a curse on the NBA star, who left Cleveland to sign a free-agent deal with the Heat in the offseason.

According to the station's website, "LeBron James didn't just leave the Cavaliers, he did it in a way designed to humiliate Cleveland, a city cursed with horrible sports franchises. Now as he prepares to start a new season with the Miami Heat, he'll have to deal with a curse of his own. . . . With a little voodoo and a pinch of evil, perhaps we'll be able to permanently dethrone the "king."

We don't know how much the station paid the witch doctor to cast his spell, but we probably could have gotten Christine O'Donnnell to do it cheaper.
