That is the only thing I can think of that would make grown men cry to a moderator to ban someone.

If you can't handle the truth just ignore me and let others interact with me who prefer to have honest conversations.
Nobody wants to converse with you, though. Oh yeah let's have an honest conversation about how many games they'll miss.
Add me to the petition to ban him.

If you can't accept that no one here likes you and everyone prefers your absence to your presence, then by all means go find another website where you're wanted.

So instead of leaving it up to individuals themselves to ignore me you prefer to exercise judgment for them and just blanket ban me because you don't want others to make decisions for themselves?

Is it because you fear that my truth will cut through the myopia so many of you espouse and then you'll be exposed as the fake fans many of you are?

Guess I'm in the minority. I dont mind buttwedge or IQQy. I just lol at their stupidity and when it pleases me I pwn them. 90% of the time I ignore them, but I gotta hand it to the little guys. They post the most often and provide some lulz (with their sheer stupidity).

This comment just outed you as being an alter for Footwedge. He said almost exactly the same shit over on the Browns thread.

BTW....you are the most miserable twat of a "fan" I've ever seen.

Can we get back to talking about how many championships Cleveland is going to win in the next 5 years? I say 3 minimum.

Heard on the drive home yesterday the Cavs are in extension talks with TT & AV. I hope they only offered Varejao a short contract.

I think AV deserves a chance to retire a Cav. He's stuck with us through some terrible terrible times, and when healthy, hes amazing.

That's fine if his contract is reasonable. Heard TT wants $12M a year; I say good riddance.

I will give you credit. You are the biggest fan in the "Refuses to say anything supportive or remotely complementary about the teams he claims to be a fan of" and the "Miserable bastard who's always complaining" categories. In all other categories, you rank dead last, though.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11780293/cleveland-cavaliers-coach-david-blatt-says-championship-expectations-team-unfair

Blatt should hand in his resignation now if he really believes this.

When you have Lebron/Love/Kyrie in their primes on the same team with a solid supporting cast (not a skeleton like Miami had their first year) the expectations are championship or bust.

Stop trying to downplay it and just own it. Anything short of a championship this year is a failure and all involved will be held accountable.

Trying to make excuses ahead of time is cowardly. We need leaders in this city, not girly men like Blatt trying to explain away failure before it even happens.

You shouldn't act as if you are the reigning champs unless you are the reigning champs

TT's agent is Rich Paul and we all know who he is buddies/business partners with...I think TT will get what he wants.

Agreed. There's a difference between "making excuses ahead of time" and "humility" but the Spin Doctor has to twist things in his delusional way.

Just glad to see how much LeBron has grown up in the last couple years. He's to the point where I'd consider him a pretty good role model....and you can't say that much about anyone who is the best in the world at something.

Messi, Peyton and Trout disagree. Though, jury is out on Trout since he is so young and only 2 years really in the spotlight.

That's fine....none were touted from age 16 like he was. LeBron also with a less than stellar upbringing and likely not nearly as smart as those 3. I guess I should've worded it differently. LeBron has came the farthest on growing up and it's rare for someone to be built up and highly touted....make a bunch of immature and selfish decisions, really not have very good role model qualities....and then go on to acquire them.

Messi was.

But, I get your point better now.

Lol, I know. Made his professional debut as a 16 year old for Barcelona. He was projected as the best in the world as a 14 year old.

Not even close. Adu was projected to be a great American.

Messi was upstaging the best player in the world at the time (on his own team) as a 17 year old.

This.

Adu's hype vs Messi's would best be compared as #1 HS football recruit's vs #1 NFL draft prospect's
