Really? That's what you came with for thinking about Akron in conjuction with Ohio? Goodyears are on my car right now, Akron never came to mind when picking them. Before LeBron when Ohio is brought up to people not in Ohio or a gearhead, it was Cleveland, Cincinatti and Columbus. Akron wasn't just rolling off the tongues of casual Joe walking on the street.

The love he would receive from wherever he's going might just make him forget about the people he disappointed in Ohio. Maybe there's something fantastically special about Akron as a hometown that I don't see, but if he bolts to come to a bigger market, he'd surely feel welcome as if he were one of there own.Go Yankees

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread
I disagree with everything you are saying.
I want to say that if he were to not do this on live TV, there would have been no problems at all. The fact that he is taking over an hour of the most famous sports programming channel in history and would say that he is leaving the Cavaliers will bring out a lot more anger and whiplash than if he just released it and bolted.Comment

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread
On a recent radio show with Bucher and a host I forgot, Broussard was pressed to predict where Lebron would go. He said 50/50 Cleveland/Chicago. Bucher got in on him to choose one team.
Chris: I believed for a long time that if he left, he'd leave for Chicago, but I always think there is a great chance to stay in Cleveland.
Bucher: Pick one!
Chris: It's a fluid situation
Bucher: I can't believe you!
Chris: That's the thing though. The smart thing to say is that it's a fluid situation. It's impossible for any of us to know where they are going, because they are still deciding and feeding different info at different times. Teams are making moves, negotiating things, signing guys, and that changes things. It's a fluid situation that no one knows the answer to.
Here's my issue with the fans, guys on this message board included. If all of this bothers you, just go on about your life and wait for the inevitable announcement. It really isn't a great amount of time. These guys got the last of their pitches on Saturday. It's going to be Wednesday in less than an hour. And all of this is happening over a holiday. I mean come on. It's not like they're taking all summer. All in all, it'll be less than a week from the last meeting to the agreement in principle.
Less than a week isn't a lot to ask, especially over a holiday. It's not like they're holding up training camp. If you really are hunting down tweets and pressing reload on ESPN or RealGM, then you're enjoying this drama as much as they are, on some level, and it's a bit disingenuous to pretend this is against some principle of sports conduct you believe in.Comment

I'm not a Cleveland sports fan, but I know the Cleveland sports scene well enough to say... that it is a big deal. At least to them.
Like OSU said, I don't know how you can base assumptions about that better than people that you know, are actually from that area."The academic support at Ohio State, there is no way you can fail. Even if you're giving minimal effort there is no way you can fail."

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread
Why does everyone think if you aren't holding hands and passing roses about their whatever, it's hate for it? No one hates Akron in here. Just cause someone doesn't share your love for something doesn't automatically mean they hate it.Comment
