Etheostoma Caeruleum

Must be the city then. Maybe they should rebuild their downtown. Neither DWade nor Lebron wanted to play there. So we build an entire city around what Wade and LeBron want? This is exactly the same sick logic that leads to us becoming so co-dependent on this stuff...or at least to us thinking we cannot exist without it! My brother lives in south Florida...and I can tell you that even in beloved Miami...there are some sickly sights to behold... Let's venture OUT of the entertainment districts to take a tour of what people who make deliveries all over the city, see. I saw it and was not impressed, so let's not make this a "how terrible is Cleveland" thing.

^ Agreed.

^ Sigh! Sports are a joke anymore.

^ Yep and same as a host of other politicians who are just better at hiding their wrongdoings and who are in bed with a lot of businesses they shouldn't be.

So many things I can say about this.... But the one thing that comes to mind today is the fact that it is not as if LBJ was approaching the waning end years of his career with still no trophy...and so such a desire for change may be warranted.... But he's young and can play for many years to try and get it done here. At least, sign a 3 year deal and if it is not working out then ask to be traded. But this stunt was the classic bad example to send to so many, and just out of utter self. Tired of hearing how much he has done for the area...and think we need to focus on how much the area/everyone else has collectively done for him! Let's set it straight and quit coddling self indulgent/entitlement egos like this, sending the message that its OK to treat your supporters.city/region like this. Its not. Although I expected this... I admit that there was a shred of feeling still left that we'd for once, see someone do the right this and place words like loyalty, integrity, devotion, above ME, SELF, and I... Sends a message to young ones that such is all that matters. Little do we see the repercussions being raised in such a way is party to. last thing we need these days is more self entitlement brats presenting such an image who we are from a larger world perspective. I am getting really irritated with the LBJ apologists, and again, we really need to see this sort of thing as a red flag that we really need to start making heroes out of other deserved people than big name athletes who just help no one but themselves and launch networks like ESPN's ratings way up. We end up being the real suckers for buying into all of it...and yes, now is the time to support the team without him. (key word, being "team") Look at this Cleveland Dot Com piece... Bernie had a reaction similar to mine. http://www.cleveland.com/pluto/blog/index.ssf/2010/07/bernie_kosar_former_browns_qua.html

^^^^ Was she cute? Get her number too! :-o 8 Titles...good points!

Agreed!

I am no fan, or endorsing......But he has blown the whistle on a lot of crap that needed to be exposed through the years, so it was a love/hate. He has not done anything that has not previously been done. He was simply caught and made an example of by those who fear their cover being blown. I do like his hair, though!

This adds even more invitation for excuses to have negative images of Cleveland.... (yes, even though this has nothing to do personally with Cleveland) The repercussions of this are long and deep.... I will have some silver linings to talk about soon, but first let me vent the disgust!

I can take this or leave it and am not overly into it...But this note to LeBron is dedicated to all that are loyal fans and supporters... This has caused a lot of pain, tension, and grief for many honest loyal people. The good forces in the universe will set straight this sort of thing because its simply not right. It is selling out, pure and simple, no matter how it is sugarcoated/rationalized. It is untrue and lies must be atoned for sooner or later. You simply don't do things like this to people and not have it come back some way and smack you in the face. It all relates to the cycle of balance in the universe, something much bigger than LeBron. Go on and take your little hip hop brat rats with you... your legacy here is finished..and you will never be welcomed again, you can count on it! Classless, tasteless, selfish, egotistical, immature, and a host of other adjectives that apply. Fans really need to take a stand on this. Miami fans welcoming this is the same as welcoming a cheating partner into your life, knowing full well someone was really hurt and a home wrecked in the process. Such sends the message that it is OK to treat people this way. So, if fans really wanted to make a stand, they would join together across the land and protest this... and I would not want him on my team knowing he did this to a city that has supported him through thick and thin. He quit on us...not the other way around, let's get that straight! Money cannot buy class... you have it or you don't. LeBron, you have proven what you are really all about....AND on national TV? Amazing!

Good, let him get lost...now lets get on with life. And by the way, this should say mountains about this person's class/integrity/sense of intrinsic value, or lack thereof. Should not have placed him so high on a pedestal...the true nature shines through! Let this be a lesson to not build life and economies around crap like this.

Its the end of the world....these are the end of times!

Tax money for this.... Nice.

Nice. Its been forever, if ever that train bridge was painted. It is a nice structure that would look so much nicer if it were.

Nice... they're fetching a good price as well. I'd rather buy the place outright than spend that much for a rental, though.

That's funny. I found your missing meds today. Oh thanks! I'll donate them in LeBron's name to all those who are so overly caught up in this ridiculousness. :-D

I found an escaped pet parrot today that must have belonged to LeBron James... It kept repeating the phrase... "I'm leaving Cleveland" The bird does not lie.

I completely agree. Harkens back to my post about how we can be champions in so many other ways.

^ You've got that right...more coverage than the Gulf Gush... which I have to seek foreign news sources to find out more about what is going on here with that.

I think get it now.... He needs an hour long special to serve as an introduction of subtle rationale as to why he is going to leave. Why would he need an hour to say he is staying? Its all coming together like a script. The hour will be him trying to break it to us gently.... Bye bye LeCon, good to know you....you leave a quitter and with unfinished business and will have forever ruined your reputation in your home state. (think the fans are hard here? Haha!..just wait!) Winning a championship would have been no more meaningful than doing it here...and breaking all this curse crapola stuff. The guilt will one day eat away at your conscious when you are mature enough to exercise one over the allure of the glamour. Your legacy will be ruined. Don't underestimate the power of karma and the forces that right the wrongs in the universe... P.S. Bosh is a misguided whimp, and I hope I am wrong about all this. Here is the theme for the program...

Cher sings to Cleveland...... Do you believe in life after LeBron...LeBron... LeBron.... I honestly think he's going to split. Him telling of his decision is like breaking it off with a girlfriend of a long time... Its a tough one, but he knows he has to do it. Hope That's the wrong hunch, though.

Would love to see some activity on this place..almost forgot about it.

Not a very creative anything, IMO.

Delusional immature athletes...physical giants.......mental midgets.

Everytime I plead "no contest" for a traffic infraction....I was assumed guilty, got the points and paid the fines...even when I proved (in my eyes and a witness) that I was in the right. Good luck on this one....
