The latest drama in Berea involves Shaun Rogers …

The Cavs keep on keeping on
It's pretty difficult to imagine the Cavs playing a lot better than they did against Detroit Sunday night. They pretty demolished a team that is supposed to be a rival. The impression was pretty clear that these are two teams … Continue reading

The Cavs called about Antawn Jamison?
I don't like Antawn Jamison as a player. I love him. He is a great, great player, underrated, professional … name it. And the thought that the Cavs have talked to the Wizards about him is as pretty enticing. This … Continue reading

If I'm the Browns I would be making a lot of calls and queries into the health of Chris McAlister, who was released Monday by the Ravens. The guy plays corner the way it should be played, and if his … Continue reading
