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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
