By Bruce Hooley I remember riding on the tractor with my dad at age five. I don’t remember being four. I wish I did, because then I’d remember the Browns winning the NFL championship. I, like most of you, have known nothing but sports frustration since 1964. I remember Mike Curtis and the Colts hammering [...]
Weekend Thoughts
By Kenny Roda Colt McCoy needs to play well for his confidence, and the rest of the team’s confidence. Will any receiver emerge in pre-season game #1 vs the Packers? I’ll be watching Phil Taylor closely to see what all the hype is about. Will working against Joe Thomas help Jabaal Sheard come Saturday night [...]
A Week’s Worth!
By Michael Reghi …Of observations as the Indians survive the heat, and the bats of the Boston Red Sox and Texas Rangers, while the Browns look to take measurable steps forward in preparation for Saturday’s preseason opener with Green Bay. While the two losses in Texas were especially galling, following a pair of Boston walk [...]
The Wound Has Closed, But The Scar Will Always Remain
I sat down to write a blog today about “The Decision”, one year removed, and wasn’t sure how the blog was going to go. So many different thoughts running through my head from he’s a selfish, arrogant athlete who could give a damn about anybody else, to I’m glad the Heat lost in the finals [...]
WHY THE CAVS TRADED J.J. HICKSON FOR OMRI CASSPI

Cavs Draft
By Aaron Goldhammer One of the picks was a forgone conclusion. The other was a shock. The reaction here in New Jersey: a stunned group of national media calling Tristan Thompson the “reach of the draft.” He avoided the pitfall of taking the Lithuanian uber-project, but Cavs GM Chris Grant took Thompson at number four [...]
Cavs Draft Grade
By Kenny Roda I give the Cavs a “C” grade for this draft. They did get the best player in the draft in point guard Kyrie Irving which can’t be overlooked, but I think they reached at #4 in selecting the offensively challenged Tristian Thompson. They already have a high motor, rebounding, defensive player in [...]
Anywhere But South Beach
By Emmet Golden Just when you thought Miami couldn’t take anything else from Cleveland, the Chicago Bulls traded their 28th pick to the Heat. That pick was CSU’s Mr. Everything, Norris Cole. I had the pleasure of covering Norris during his epic senior year at Cleveland State. A year in which Cole was named Horizon [...]
