I am so tired of hearing people say, Cleveland, "get over it".

What they think they are saying is Cleveland, your great white hope is gone, get over it.

We, as citizens of Ohio and sane citizens of the world, (Jim Rome included) are not talking about a great white hope. We are responding to a big kid who made a promise, broke it, and keeps talking about it to absolve his guilt.

When Lebron stops talking about us, we will stop talking about him.

You want to keep talking, so we will keep answering. We could not keep you here, but we can keep you from talking about us in a vacuum. You want to keep talking, so will we.

People say to us, get over it. I say to LeBron, Why did you make a Nike commercial, using the massive resources Nike has, to specifically talk about "the decision" if you are over it?

You are not going to restore your image on our backs. You want to make yourself the victim. Not on our back you won't. All the commercials in the world will not make a 90 million dollar 20 year old man the victim in this over played soap opera.

All the pr Nike can buy will not change the fact that you went from a beloved figure in every city you played, to the player fans in every city love to hate. So you are trying to talk your way back from the depth of the hole you dug. Go ahead. But not on our back, not on our watch. We are done being used. LeBron, Get Over It.

We have Byron Scott and a team who shows up every night to play. We have moved on. The ten story poster is gone, along with every other reminder that a young man once practiced at the best practice facility in the league. We will continue to love our Cavs. Get Over It.
