That includes a new roof, sound system, and $9.3 million for a new scoreboard. They're trying to get this fast tracked so it's ready for the season.
First, I'm so glad their getting a new sound system. Could barely hear any music. :rolleyes:

But what about this new scoreboard. What would you like, (besides the diff).

Key components in discussion and there are many more unlisted. Be open to criticism please because it's unavoidable.

I'll start, my views are premature. There isn't much to take away from a high school education to feel confident about forming my own opinions about Politics, etc. My morals are in the right place as people tell me so forming my own opinions about social issues don't feel difficult to me. My personality is mostly passive and quiet. I like to lurk the site and observe others discussing. It's very informative stuff.

The purpose behind this thread was to take minor discussions that aren't worth it's own thread to one place. These views are scattered among RCF's many different topics.

Share how you came to this conclusion of your current political, economic, and social beliefs. I would very much enjoy if it shows different people the many solutions and ideas that wouldn't be exposed them to otherwise. ]]> Off Topic batdan http://realcavsfans.com/showthread.php?44665-Political-Economic-and-Social-discussion http://realcavsfans.com/showthread.php?44664-James-Harden-quot-I-m-the-best-all-around-basketball-player-in-the-NBA-quot&goto=newpost Wed, 20 Aug 2014 03:56:31 GMT Harden at a 2K event declared "I'm the best all-around basketball player in the NBA."

I have been following this forum for years but I never post. Thank you for this wonderful place to keep up with my beloved Cavs in Charlotte NC.

So, I designed some shirts that are marketable to Cavs fans and would like to advertise them on here officially. I'm not a troll, I'm just not a frequent poster. Any advice as to how to go about it would be great thanks...

Beyond a starting five that is almost an all-star team, featuring four top-level offensive threats, we have Delly, Thompson, Miller, Marion, maybe Ray Allen, Joe Harris, Brendan Haywood. And who knows if someone else will come over in the Love trade.

How should we manage regular season minutes? You could theoretically use the depth here to really limit regular season minutes to keep people fresh for the playoffs. Hold most of the starters close to 30 MPG, Varejao to 20-25 MPG with plenty of games off, vets off the bench to 15-20 MPG. Consider the Spurs model. Look at minutes played at the link below -- every single player, even young guns like Kawhi Leonard, was under 30 MPG for the regular season. As if that isn't enough, a lot of the key players also played less than 70 games!

This is an entirely different model for how to manage a team. Lebron has always been played like he was Superman and IMO in many regular seasons he got overused. Switching to a very different model could really prolong his career.

If we do limit minutes, how should you do it? Play the starting unit together all the time so they get used to playing with each other, or stagger minutes so you always have one of Irving/Love/Lebron on the court? Definitely seems like Dion should play with the second team as well as the starters as he is instant offense and plays so well with Delly. Delly, Dion, Thompson, Marion would be a very solid core second team unit, and if Love played with them could be very dangerous. ]]> Cavs Talk cavsfever http://realcavsfans.com/showthread.php?44660-Managing-minutes-lineups-for-this-team http://realcavsfans.com/showthread.php?44659-So-my-pet-cat-died-today&goto=newpost Tue, 19 Aug 2014 06:16:42 GMT He developed a Fatal liver disorder and was giving only a week to live so we had to put him down.

As the Indians blaze the trail of soccer scores and mediocrity, another football season is upon us. As I do every year, I will start with my Direc TV NFL Ticket negotiations, which were tougher this year.

I have not paid for the ticket in 2 years. This year was clouded by a move in service (from Vermont to South Carolina) as well as the need to purchase one NFL ticket for South Carolina and one for Florida (we go back to Florida around mid November this year). So what I was asking for was 2 Sunday Ticket Max packages at no charge.

It took 2 hours on the phone with retention department. It seems that the new math at DirecTV is the almighty one time credit, and future credits on your account. Gone are the days of PRESTO...we'll just give it to you. (unless you're a new customer). In order to score 2 Max packages, the rep had to discount various HD/movie channels over the course of the next 4 months. She discounted a monthly protection plan. Eliminated a 4 pack HD package I never ordered that they sneaked onto my new SC service. But mainly, she did the following math:

The full price Ticket Max is 6 payments of $54.99. No one should EVER pay that. She dropped it to 6 payments of $40.99 right off the bat. Then she went hunting for the $240 of credits she could weigh against the remaining cost of the Ticket. She did this for both Florida and South Carolina. It took a long time.

Any movie channels you have, your length of tenure with DTV, available equipment upgrades, all figure into this. By upgrading in SC to a genie system, I eliminated 3 receivers from my old Vermont account, and made them more willing to deal. I went with the genie in April, before the house renovation was completed. They even shipped me 2 additional genie minis for free during this negotiation.

I ended up getting both Tickets at no charge NET. They put a $40 one time credit on the first 3 payments, and then the remaining $120 over a 3 month period. Crazy math, but it worked out. Just remember: Only Retention department can do this. Ask to make sure you are talking to retention NOT a tech or Supervisor.

I will return for year 12 of Browns halftime and Postgame shows at the Moohead Radio site (google it). I am told that my drunken female co-host will join me. She gets loaded on Sundays so it might be weird. She has also guaranteed to do a show topless if JFF throws for more than 400 yards in a game. She HATES Manziell. I'm kinda rooting for him to get the 400 yards...

Hope to see you this season. I'll do a week 3 dress rehearsal show. As for now, it's lay back and watch MNF tonight. Thanks for your patience.
