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.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
