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.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.

      Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
