Will no longer be the trashiest fans after 8 pm tonight. I have been listening to Cleveland sports talk radio all day today and it sounds like poo is gonna get ugly. Guys have been tailgating since 11 am and are hammered already.

"I'm ready for whatever response I'm going to get. It's going to be very emotional," he said Tuesday. "I give a lot of thanks to that city, to those fans for giving me the opportunity to not only showcase my talent, but to grow from a young boy to a man during my seven years. So it's going to be very emotionally draining."

No one is quite sure what to expect. The Cavs, who talked with the Heat and NBA about their security plan, say their safety protocol already exceeds league requirements. Even so, there will be more uniformed and plain-clothed officers inside and outside the arena. During the Cavaliers' game here Tuesday, four uniformed officers were stationed close to the visiting Boston Celtics' bench. Expect more Thursday, plus other security measures:

•The Cavaliers already require fans to go through metal detectors.

•Beverages sold at the arena will be poured into plastic cups to try to prevent bottles being thrown.

•Vulgar or obscene shirts and posters will not be permitted.

"We don't want people to feel like they're in a police state," Carper says of the precautions. "We're going to take the proper steps that need to be taken, but we want fans to come down and have a good time."

Brownrigg, who planned to spend Wednesday and Thursday filming at various anti-James rallies, expects an emotional response from fans.

"When it comes down to it, if people didn't react to him, it would show they didn't care," she says. "It really is a testament to how much he meant to the city, how important he was and how much of an influence he was. … If they hadn't loved him so much, they wouldn't hate him so much."

He's a douche for what--doing his job where he wants to? If the Cleveland fans behave the way they have been threatening tonight, they will only prove what assholes they are and that Lebron made the right decision for himself. Who wouldn't want to live and work in Miami instead of the armpit of the United States?

Chapel Hill doesn't have an NBA team.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
