The Browns' average age is 15.7.That might be the problem.

I agree, Alomar would have been the better choice.



Sizeless' signing....only the Indians front office is capable of doing the things they do.They fell for Sizeless' claim that his heart was still here. "I love the Tribe.After all,I took more money to come back."

[horseofcourse]

The Cavs front office is trying to join the Tribe and Browns. they drafted a college bench player with the number 3 pick overall then traded up to draft the tall white guy Zeller from North Carolina. I think they just were confused and wanted another white guy they could call "Big Z". They had that for about 10 years before I guess so why not do it again. Urban Saban Meyer is just creepy.

Gosh, that's very good.I never made that Z connection.


What interests me,too, is your Meyer reference.As you well know, over the recent years the NC's have been won by teams having hc's born and fb schooled in Ohio or at the very least strongly fb schooled in Ohio though not born here.

Meyer has won two NC's, yet he doesn't feel right.

I have lost a whole bunch of interest in sports even to the point I do not care what Ohio State does.It was very much upsetting to me that they dumped Luke Fickell, who took on a horrendous situation, and threw money at Meyer.Won't go into detail on this....just made me turn in my Ohio State leaves.


He is going to be trouble.

That may sound ridiculous, but that's what I think.

Mr. Rogers is not handling his ability to go through adversity( great football term, but so overused) sa hot.


He is getting very snarky with the media and using the "fucl<" word.

Livingston,the Cleveland writer, mentioned.... "There is soft, softer,Charmin soft and then there's Schurmur soft."

A ten pier if I ever saw one.

That's pretty funny.....I found this on the Syracuse bench player drafted number 3 overall and it seems as if the Cavs are all set to follow on the fine seasons of the Tribe and Brownies...

•The elephant in the room is Dion Waiters. Things have not gotten much better on the Waiters front after he came into the Summer League out of shape and shot only 30%. It is not time to panic and declare Waiters a bust or a future star in the making, but he needs to improve his play sooner than later if he wants to justify where he was selected. Dion Waiters finished the night with 2 points on 1-7 shooting, 3 assists and 4 turnovers. His jump shot looks broken. I am fine with him taking jumpers in the preseason if the intention is to tweak his shot and improve from a longer range. However, where Waiters will excel is in splitting double-teams and driving into the lane. Hopefully Waiters plays to his strengths instead of settling for lazy jump shots.


Now that seems like a guy who deserves to wear "Cleveland" laundary!

So reassuring.

Maybe they can go 35 and 47 this year.That should be enough to get in that privileged group of NBA play off teams.

Of course, I am not privy to Stern's script.


Say, more on what you saw of Weeden.He's that bad on accuracy? You think he's another .DA.?

He can throw. I think the big int was largely Mr Rogers fault as it's 3rd and 1, you traded up to draft this Richardson. In all honesty the kid actually does look really good. He should get minimum 25 carries a game I think. So you pull him out of the game and go empty backfield. You're up 17-10, the play is covered and Weeden throws about 10 yards behind the secondary receiver...interception. I didn't really watch much of the 2nd half. To me, he looks like a strong armed guy with limited intelligence, just hearing him interviewed and stuff. I think that was DAs downfall, just not smart enough to do it. Not that Brees, Manning, Brady etc are mensa members but they are very football smart listening to them. I hope I'm wrong about Weeden. The defensive backfield is embarrassing. The refs were very kind, they interfere on every single play except of course on the ones where the guy is 15 yards wide open and they called less than half of them. I stumbled through the rest of the first half and after that decided to pass on the 2nd...I'd seen more than enough.

He may not be as bad as DA accuracy wise, and it seems his misses are all throwing behind receivers so perhaps that's correctable with time. Of course he's already 29. I prefer him to little Colt I guess. And of course their alleged number 1 receiver, Little, couldn't catch venereal disease in a whore house which doesn't help either.

For the most part sports is comic relief for me. This is especially true following Cleveland sports. The hilarity of these billionaires holding cities hostage so they get their government welfare combined with highly paid athletes messing stuff up to the nth degree gives it all a train wreck feel that I can't help but continue to follow. Baseball is still by far the best. I think in regards to that it's by far the hardest to script. And I can still enjoy baseball postseason much more than the others. Tiggers/A's last night, Reds/Giants today still fantastic stuff.

It's all become worse than government intervention and a lot more obvious. Yet it still goes on.

I can't berate anyone who likes watching it all, just had enough myself.

I make my own fantasy league in my noodle.Cleveland always wins .Fickel still coaches Ohio State and will go on to win 12 consecutive NC's.
