NFL

Forward/backward

June 25, 2007

A look back at the weekend and what is ahead:
The Indians can't seem to get their hitting machine rolling. It is now the end of June and Travis Hafner still is not hitting. That is the bad news. The good news is the Tigers are only 2 games ahead and the Indians lead the wild-card [...]

TV note from SI

June 18, 2007

I have pointed out how inept the NBA is on TV and the lack of folks interested in it, even with LeBron James on center stage.
Well here is more proof from Peter King of SI:

There are approximately 113 million television households in the United States, and the average rating for the NBA Championship Series showed [...]

Baseball on my mind

June 18, 2007

Well, this is the time of the year when baseball becomes the focus.
The NBA and NHL are over. The draft looks to be pretty quiet on the home fronts.
Golf doesn't get back on the radar scene until the British Open and Bridgestone until later in July.
NASCAR has had the Dale Jr. saga end. Only the [...]

Browns thoughts

June 14, 2007

Any worries with the play of the Browns quarterbacks?
Patrick McManamon wrote in his story for Friday that only Derek Anderson seems to have a grasp on the offense. Brady Quinn and Charlie Frye remain off target.
Look for an indepth piece on new offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski on Sunday on Ohio.com and in the Beacon Journal.

Going too far?

May 31, 2007

Did the New York papers go too far in running pictures of Alex Rodriguez with a woman, not his wife, entering night clubs and running a story of his day with this woman?
I know we received a few complaints of running photos of LeBron James' new home in Bath. And there was some talk in [...]

Things I think

May 25, 2007

LeBron James was fouled, but the Cavs can't wait to take the last shot. Go for the throat! … Danica Patrick will win an IndyCar Series race but not this weekend's Indy 500. … The Indians, Tigers, Angels and Red Sox will be the playoff teams in the American League. … Charlie Frye will be [...]

Racing weekend

May 21, 2007

Took my boys on a family trip to Charlotte for the NASCAR All-Star race.
What a great time, go-kart tracks, good time with family and 180,000 gear heads.
The race was outstanding with the no-holds barred format. Kevin Harvick was victorious but Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Jeff Gordon showed that they can dominate at Lowe's Motor [...]

17th game for NFL

May 11, 2007

It looks like in the near future the NFL will add a 17th game to each team's schedule.
Sounds good, right? There is never enough football.
Here is the caveat, though: The game must be played outside of the United States.
The Browns and Steelers could play in Berlin or Tokyo.
I really don't have a problem with games [...]

Weekend rewind

May 7, 2007

The Cavs have a plan, and they followed it perfectly in Game 1. It is amazing when you have a plan and stick to it how far it can take you. Now to win a title, I think the offense might need to get a little better. But there is nothing saying that that can't [...]

Job-saving day

April 29, 2007

Joe Thomas, Brady Quinn and Eric Wright were the Browns' selections on the first day of the NFL Draft.
Not a bad haul at all for GM Phil Savage. The only real question besides the risk in taking Wright with his questionable past is the cost of the picks.
Thomas was a no-brainer, really. He is the [...]
