[CP]

I can't help feeling fulfillment and fear all at once.

[Triple-S]

Amazing.

Never thought a michigander would stick up for the city like this.

Dan buy the Tribe please as well.

[Madre Hill, Superstar]

[Gradysmanldy]

You can delete my dupe, Swerb.

I love it. I don't care if it's true or not, I love the passion and the commitment. Fuck the half couched pleasantries, he got screwed and he's venting.

[ajunior148]

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

Doesn't seem likely, Dan.

[Hikohadon]

I don't care that it was childish and inane.

That was fucking EPIC.

When an owner clearly cares as much as the fans, that CAN'T be a bad thing.

[CP]

I fear the long-term repercussions from this. Gives short-term satisfaction, but you can't underestimate how this letter will get used against Gilbert and the Cavs with every player acquisition going forward.

[Squints]

That. Was. Awesome.

I just envision this in the background.

gentleman, there's a new king of cleveland, and he's hails from detroit!

Yeah, but what kind of PJs does he have?

I see where you are coming from, but this whole f'd up scenerio happens once in a life time and it deserves this once in a lifetime, epic bitch-slap.

[aoxo1]

FTR I'd rather Gilbert was Michael than Sonny.

But at least he's not Fredo.

[mitch]

I think maybe we need to have Gilbert put up on the banner instead of a certain classless, quitting punk.

[Madre Hill, Superstar]

Trust me from as who's dealt with Gilbert, I can only imagine what the first draft looked like. This was probably PR team's compromise.

I'm printing Gilbert's letter off at work tomorrow and hanging it up in my cube.

Giddy up.


Wish reality were a factor.

[swerb]

Gilbert is soooo Sonny. Lerner is totally Fredo.

We need Michael.

Perfect analogy. OIC.

[jb]

That. Was. Awesome.

Crazy jilted girl scary

[motherscratcher]

Holy shit. Is that real?

I love that man.

[Hikohadon]

Yes, he is.

Avoid the toll booths, Dan.

[FUDU]

I knew it, Dan took it personal.

Love the Sonny analogy, just sucks that Sonny died.

[mitch]

You think the man made billions without knowing how to get medieval on some people?

LeQuitter won't be able to be worth as much money as Gilbert if he has three Chosen lives.

This is the best news I've seen tonight.

[RIBrownsFan]

LOL, I'm sure he'll pull a "I can't recall" about this letter if he were end up moving the team to Seattle.

That said, I love it. Fight for your fucking investment and give the fans some kind of hope, realistic or otherwise. It's shit like this that makes me happy to give my money to the team in 2010-11.

[peeker643]

That. Was. Awesome.

Crazy jilted girl scary

No doubt.

Almost like I wrote it.

Tonight I'm fine with that and anything more TMLP wants to hang in the wind and air out.

Good for him.

Tonight he's one of us. Hopefully in a week he's not.

[Dellucci TailGator]

Better yet, it's displayed in Comic Sans, which makes the tone of the note even more "written with a serial killer voice"...

It's outlandish, but awesome to read right now.

[Hikohadon]

That. Was. Awesome.

Crazy jilted girl scary

First you spend the whole day melting.

Then you grow perspective when the owner feels the same way you do?

Dumb? Yes. But just think how NEO will identify with his righteous jiltedness.

[peeker643]

I knew it, Dan took it personal.

Love the Sonny analogy, just sucks that Sonny died.

Guess I can send that flick back to NetFlix now.

Thanks Donny.

[Triple-S]

Anyone else get the feeling that LeBron made it appear to Gilbert that he was staying, and then suddenly pulled the rug out from under him?

[tribefaninbuffalo]

Holy shit. Is that real?

I love that man.

It is legit. That is an owner who cares.

[anteup41]

He cares and is foolish and displayed the attitude that probably tells LBJ he made the right decision in leaving. Great job. One person does not make a team and this guy is a great athlete but with the owner acting like this good luck getting a great talent. There are better ways to show heart for a city and organization.

[OldDawg]

TMLP has peeked my interest with this statement:

There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past

let it all out gilbert.

please tell all, hell, bring up Delonte and remake the "Hit 'em up" vid.

Mine too, I bet it's better than Luke & Laura's wedding.

[skatingtripods]

Now that LeDouche is gone, I may become a Cavs supporter.

Right. We'll identify with you and your one post and your questionable loyalty.

The owner, in his passion, made a fool of himself.

Find me one Cleveland Fan that hasn't done the same.

I'll take that over numb cliched niceties anyday.

[motherscratcher]

Seriously. Who the hell is this clown on with Galetti? You could walk out to the street and grab the first person you see and they would be less annoying than this asshole.

[anteup41]

Dont need more than one post to know your owner is a whinner and just hurt your chances to get talent here. Oh you had talent and lost it... I dont even like LBJ but I think you guys are a bunch of girls crying cause he made a decision about his life....... Like you would care what LBJ thought about your decisions. Im here to laugh and look at the amount of hate and unrealistic post by selfish idiots and if that fits then wear it... Post #2....

[CP]

Gilbert apparently just gave a phone interview to the AP... said LBJ quit during playoffs against Celtics... trying to find link...

[anteup41]

Is there a thread with anyone with common senses???? Or hateful girls cause their favorite panties are not carried at the mall anymore???

[FUDU]

My response to Gilbert's letter would be:

I support you in your efforts Dan, my only wishes are:

A) You win us a title
B) Gloria is pregnant
C) Bosh & Wade are discovered to be gay lovers
D) The casino is a booming success
E) That you consider giving Dolan some of your money
F)...and could you please reimburse Peeker for the Netflix rental

[Triple-S]

You sound fat and lonely.

[anteup41]

CP,
You need a link and a crybaby owner to tell you that.... Goosh!!! Did you not watch it??? He quit and cant lead (2010), mad and left the court (2009).... So why is everyone here so upset???? You guys have no clue what you want.... I cant believe comedy like this is free.

What does fat sound like?

Gilbert is just standing up for his franchise after seeing it dragged through the whole FA proceedings. James was protected by the organization from day 1 and didn't have the guts to let them know what his plan was. Instead they were told to wait like everyone else and be stabbed in the back on nationa television. This is just the tip of the iceberg, a whole lot more is going to be revealed in the next few days/weeks.

Can't wait for incredible post # 3

P.S. I'm still pissedbecause Screamin A was dead on

[anteup41]

Triple S,
Thats telling me..... You showed me. Haaaaaa
