Uh, is your last name "Paxson" by chance? James, you'd trade Szczerbiak's expiring 13m contract for Vince Carter, who's cap-killing contract runs through 2010/11 at something like 17m per year?

Uh, is your last name "Paxson" by chance?

When is someone in the Cleveland media going to verbally punch Danny Ferry in the face over the story that he tried to trade Dimples Szczerbiak for Vince Carter on draft night? How has this near-catastrophic incompetence not been a story? Hey, stop making fun of my name.

His most-memorable pass of last season was his cocky interception that cost GB their entire year. And he's been randomly and routinely throwing more passes to the opposition at crucial times for y.e.a.r.s. I, too, am just sick of Brett Favre and his annual pity-party parade. If I were Aaron Rodgers, I'd demand a trade from this insane franchise pronto. Favre is in love with himself and the attention and will never, I repeat, never, leave on his own terms.

He is HARDLY worth all of the wailing and gnashing of teeth! Sheesh, you can't open the ABJ without reading about his "hundred" fans' weekly protest to bring back the loser, or flick on the TV w/o seeing Bretty's tearful "I don't feel like playing anymore" speech for the fifth straight year, or turning on the radio w/o hearing the sportstalkers estolling FARV like he's some godlike player. GET A GRIP! The guy is a conceited media-hound who's not worth the time of day.

"How they won last year is a mystery"--only to him. Take a look at his stats for last year. He won a superbowl 15 years ago is true and his 1 superbowl win is more than any Cleveland team has ever won. He has QB'd the Packers to the playoffs in almost every year he has played there---not too many QBs can tout that. Fairly obvious that Common Sense doesn't watch the game or know much about it to claim he was washed up 4 years ago. A sub-par season doesn't mean anyone is washed up--far too much is dependent on others (recievers, RBs, line). by the way, it isn't favre that put this out--he merely let the team know that he was interested in coming back. Then ESPN goes in to their "create and drag out" a story mode. Most of the info they report isn't accurate on this anyway. Common Sense shows no common sense when he comments about Favre.

No matter how he spins it, Hafner knew he was done and ripped off the team. They should be suing him for fraud (misrepresenting his ability and/or health status) right now. He just told Greg Brinda that he "was not" hurt last year...meaning he's either lying to cover his fraudulent contract butt, or he will never, ever be the guy Cleveland "thought" they were getting. Couple these poor signings with the Matt Lawton, Ricky Gutierrez, Roberto Hernandez, et al...and you see some severe mismanagement of limited funds. I don't believe in huge payrolls; they guarantee NOTHING. I believe in proper talent evaluation, rapid farmhand development and savvy moves, like Oakland always seems to make. #2: Stop defending Brett Favre!!! This egomaniac craves the spotlight year after freakin year, pulling this "maybe I'll come back" crap just to get his face on the tube and people buzzing about him! Can't you see thru this schtick? I've never seen ANY athlete "play" the media like this guy, and he was WASHED UP four years ago. How they won last year is a mystery. I don't blame Green Bay at all for sticking it to him, just like he's done to them so many countless times. Folks, Favre will be playing/retiring/unretiring until someone stands up to him and says, "GO AWAY. YOU'RE NOT A WINNER ANYMORE. YOU'VE WON EXACTLY ONE SUPER BOWL 15 YEARS AGO AND PLAYED LIKE MIKE PHIPPS SINCE THEN. SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP." #1: I agree with Larry about the Tribe's bad decision-making, when it comes to dishing out money. No matter how he spins it, Hafner knew he was done and ripped off the team.
