Let me get out my calculator since basketball season is officially over, time to turn to the Tribe. Two more years of Choo?? We'll have to trade him that 3rd year since we won't be able to pay him (Scott Boras), and 5 more years of Santana at most (if he is able to walk that is)?? I'm thinking 2012 is the year to focus on.

This is so true.

With the Tribe...the future is never too out there.

Biut with the radical mess pro and now big time college sports are and the fans letting their fantacism feed this evil...who cares?

It's fun. I like the dichotomy of the Tribe and the Cavs. the Tribe develops and nurtures massive amounts of incredible talent and every single one leaves because they can't afford them. The Cavs have a filthy rich owner who will pay massive amounts to anyone, especially one particular guy and that one guy leaves anyway. The ownership attitude between the two are polar opposites, and the results of the teams are exactly the same. I find it interesting.

No,I do agree with your view. I only said to say.. if misplaced interests by fans weren't there.....the pay scale would be very painfully adjusted and so much of the nonsense would stop.

I agree, but the whole thing is simply our world in miniature. The rich keep getting richer. Sports is an easy outlet. Most of us play them as kids. So we sort of understand what is going on out there. I would love to abstain, but I just can't. Just like I can't never buy anything made in China. It's nearly impossible not to do that. When the Akron whore came to play in Salt Lake a couple years back, I took my family to see the Cavs and we had a great time. Every three or four years when we visit extended family in Ohio I'll take them to a Tribe game. I am fully aware of the fact that I care more about a Cleveland win than 95 percent or more of the players wearing the laundary.

!!OOOOOOOOOO!!

That was beautiful.

Mount Union/Wisconsin Whitewater in another D3 championship game classic playing in their 6th straight title game. Mount in trouble.

clyde · #**548** 12-18-2010, 07:03 PM

Phooey..checked the score and ah don't thank so.

horseofcourse · #**549** 12-19-2010, 05:20 AM

Cavs got a win this month. It seems pretty late in December to be getting to that first win.

clyde · #**550** 12-19-2010, 10:45 AM

spit!!

Millions of Canadians don't care.

clyde · #**551** 12-19-2010, 03:11 PM

Missed the first 4 minutes of the first half,but unfortunately saw the rest.

Their lines are jumping the Browns'

The Browns look like bowling pins on defense....game has "loss" written all over it.

clyde · #**552** 12-19-2010, 03:55 PM

And so it is written.

D was pathetic. They didn't give up any touchdowns but Bengals didn't punt until late in the 4th quarter. They ran at will. Only bright spot was the horsey. He is still looking like a pretty nice qb potentially. How many consecutive times will they have to get stopped on 3rd and 1 inside the 5 yard line before they discover they may have to try something different? Maybe a little horsey rollout??

Oh, roll outs on 3rd and 1 never work....never

Don't be ridiculous.

The Browns Offensive Subordinator knows what he's doing.

The Hawsey.....needs glasses.

phooey!!

horseofcourse · #**556** 12-26-2010, 10:50 PM

They're severely out-talented most all the games they play. Mangini has done a pretty nice job in my opinion. It's too bad they'll fire him. Horsey needs some work. December football in Cleveland is ugly. On the bright side, the Cavs accomplished a nearly impossible feat. Getting swept in a season series by the Timberwolves.

clyde · #**557** 12-26-2010, 11:03 PM

The Cavs......hopeless as they stand now,I'm afraid.

The Hawsey was pushed to answer the question.."You never played in weather like this.How do you think you will do>"....earlier last week.

He finally said..'I guess we'll see."

Boy did we.

No, Mangini shouldn't be fired.....and I really don't think Holmgren will do it,but we'll see.

horseofcourse · #**558** 12-28-2010, 05:51 PM

First LeBron leaves the Cavs, now Jawad Williams. I am now officially without hope.

clyde · #**559** 12-28-2010, 08:14 PM

Oh gosh...where'd he take his Rareless talents to?

They just dumped his talents on the street. His lack of presence led to a 15 point loss to the Magic. I think it was actually tied after 3 quarters. Evidently a strong finish was lacking!!
