i never wanted to leave cleveland. and my heart will always be around that area. but i also feel like this is the greatest challenge for me is to move on. this is tough. it's very tough, because you feel like you let a lot of people down. you've raised a lot of people's expectations also, but it was a tough decision because i know how loyal i am and one thing my mother told me when i was going through this process and what ultimately helped me make my decision is you have to do what's best for you. >> there is the drama. because it certainly wasn't in lebron's performance on television, pat. >> ed rendell said yesterday, which is this is a real tearing. here's a guy, a young man from cleveland, which is a town really proud of him. he filled up the stadium. he's played for them. he's led them repeatedly and they love him. he walks away basically for money and to be with a championship team and you can see from what lebron said this is the central concern right here, the issue if you will with the city of cleveland, it h

cleveland decides to get tricky. hillis the toss to mohamed massaquoi, who lets it fly for robiskie. great catch by robiskie but the replay shows the ball hit the ground first right there. somehow the refs disagree with that. 7-0, cleveland. second quarter, mccoy complete to massaquoi and strips massaquoi. jameel mcclain, coverage sets up, joe flacco, time to throw and a laser to t.j. houshmandzedeh. ravens take the 10-7 lead. second-half kickoff, john harbaugh watching as the browns try an off-sides kick. the ravens get the ball at the 38. three plays later, a little play-action and joe flacco has plenty of time and that is a fairly typical result when that happens. dropped it in the basket for derrick mason, 25th t.d. pass of the season for flacco. ravens' defense bottled them up. you could say they orp fire, ed reed, in particular, locked in on colt mccoy, his second interception of the game with four minutes to play and as reed wants to do, out of the end zone and laterals to the end zone to nobody but ladarius w

here's lebron's reason for breaking up with cleveland. >> it's not like leaving cleveland is the whole logistic. it's about joining informations with the other two guys that i feel like i respect their game the most and i feel like we have a great chance of winning. like i said before, this is a very emotional time for me. i know it's emotional for the fans and also for the area. and if it was the perfect world, would i have loved to stay because i've done so many great things for that team, they've done so many great things for me. but i feel like it's time to change. >> you're talking about someone that has been there the local time, basically grew up there, never went away to college. the number one pick in the draft and he's been there really his whole life. and that maybe led to him wanting to move on. i think sometimes you become a little bit enamored and you look it at the bright lights and you're ready to move away just like kids do in college. >> he grew up and he's from the cleveland area. here's what dan gilbert had to say in an open lit are pep in part, quote, you simply do

this was an open handed slap to the face of cleveland. you don't divorce somebody on national television for an hour and then immediately announce in the same breath you're going to go play with your friends and leave the people of cleveland who haven't won a championship in a major sport since 1964 in the dust. i mean this is a hometown kid. >> he was their king. they supported him. he's from. there he's the hometown hero. now he says he wants to bring miami seven championships. i'm trying to do the math. wasn't he signed to a six-year deal? he is trying to say you'll have to resign me? >> yeah. i think that is the really only response lebron james has now. i think he's out of the conversation with kobe bryant and michael jordan. candidates to be the best player ever. and now he's just saying i'm going to blow the rest of the league away for as long as i can. that's going to be my vengeance in my new role as super villian to professional sports. >> i'll let people read the letter that dan gilbert wrote to the fans. let's talk about that.

cleveland, there is no doubt that this is a difficult election. that is because we have gone through an incredibly difficult time as a nation. nobody knows that more than the folks in cleveland and the folks in ohio. for most of the last decade, middle-class families have been struggling. this did not just part of year ago or two years ago. between 2001 and 2009, the average middle-class families of their income across the country go down by 5%. when the other side was in charge. between 2001 and 2009, job growth was slower than at any time since world war ii. meanwhile, the cost of everything -- from health care to sending your child to college -- kept going up and up and up. to many families could not send their kids to college. too many families could not visit the doctor when somebody got sick. americans -- too many of them were working two or three jobs and still could not make ends meet. these problems were then compounded by the worst economic crisis, the worst financial crisis since the great depression. think about it -- we had a recessio
