August 2007

Kudos to KSU

August 31, 2007

Doug Martin deserves a pat on the back today with the way his Flashes went on the road to a Big 12 school and came away with a victory.
The quarterback, Julian Edelman, engineered several scoring drives, and running back Eugene Jarvis had more than 100 yards and a touchdown.
I know it was Iowa State and [...]

Most important Browns player

August 29, 2007

Charlie Frye or Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn or Joe Thomas? What about one of the guys on defense, Eric Wright or Kamerion Wimbley?
Who is the most important to the Browns?
What about Jamal Lewis? To me, there is no doubt.
With him healthy, he is the key to the Browns being an 8-8 team or [...]

Indians waking up

August 23, 2007

Are the Indians playing better? Are the Tigers just that bad?
Whatever the answer, the facts are that the Indians are in first place and that they have a 2.5-game lead.
I also think if you have to pick between good pitching and spotty hitting or spotty pitching and good hitting. Always take the pitching. Just ask [...]

Quinn bandwagon

August 20, 2007

Brady Quinn plays two meaningless series against a prevent defense and now everyone wants him to start against the Steelers in Week 1.
I just don't see it. Most, if not all, of his passes were to guys who had little or no coverage.
He needs a lot of work in my opinion and with coach Romeo [...]

Football galore and plenty more

August 18, 2007

Sorry for the break in posts this week. With high school football getting ready to kick off, the office has been busy. Also with the news that Terry Pluto is leaving, that delayed some other things for us.
But no excuses, things are looking good for the Beacon and Ohio.com.
Patrick McManamon should bring a fresh perspective [...]

Is this it?

August 15, 2007

Has the work GM Mark Shapiro put into the Indians turned out to not be the right combination of players?
The question is worth asking because the GM has sort of put himself into a corner with the contracts that have been signed.
He doesn't have a lot of angles to take other than dealing some folks [...]

Big Ten Network

August 14, 2007

The Big Ten Network has a legitimate beef with the cable industry.
The network does belong on the same tier as ESPN, ESPN2, etc. BTN will have games on its network that normally would have been on ABC or ESPN.
That is something the NFL Network can't say. The eight to 10 lives games on NFLN are [...]

Central showdown … I guess

August 14, 2007

The Indians and Tigers start a two-game series tonight at Jacobs Field.
Is it a big deal or is it two teams struggling to see straight?
Both of these teams looked like sure playoff teams in May, now they are both lucky that the rule requires a team from the Central Division to take part in the [...]

Weekend forecast

August 10, 2007

Things to watch this weekend:
– How bad is Travis Hafner's knee and is this the time when the Tribe breaks away from the pack by handling the Yankees?
– Does John Daly make a move and return to the center stage in golf or is it only Tiger's world at the PGA Championship?
– Anyone want to [...]
