Like how the owners of Cleveland's NBA franchise methodically raped, pillaged and plundered the City of Cleveland in order to build what you refer to as "Dan Gilbert's Palace?" Or would writing something extremely pointed and critical about the wealthy and the powerful egregiously violate the local media's Unwritten Code?

How can you build tradition when it changes every 10 years or so? I think the Browns did it the right way, but I'm not looking forward to attending Opening Day 2008 at Insert Name and Money Here Ballpark.

I still call Cleveland's arena "Gund Arena", and everyone knows what I'm talking about.
