Note, the Daily Dish will be on a one week hiatus, and will return on Monday, March 8th.

Cavs/Celtics tonight, 8 PM on TNT … live from Beantown.  Paul Pierce is expected to miss the game for the Celtics with an injured finger.  The Cavs are back to full strength, but are still struggling to incorporate the newly acquired Antawn Jamison, and also Mo Williams, who has not been the same player since [...]

It’s such a defeating feeling.  You finally start to see your driveway and front lawn emerge from the layers upon layers of snow fall we’ve seen this winter.  And then we get slammed with another wave.  This hasn’t been the coldest Cleveland winter, but I can’t remember looking at snow on the ground for this [...]

Ahhh … baseball is back.  Indians pitchers and catchers have reported to Goodyear, AZ and today is their first official workout.

When you live in a four season climate like Cleveland, one of the great things about the start of baseball season is that it also represents the beginning of our 7-8 month stretch of excellent [...]

It just doesn’t get any more exciting than last night’s USA/Canada hockey game.  The energy inside that building and on the ice was off the charts.  And behind amazing individual performances from Brian Rafalski and goalie Ryan Miller, the Americans shocked the world (and the throng of Canadian hockey fans in attendance) and knocked off [...]

The Cavalier Nation sits on the edge of their collective seats.  Deal?  Or no deal?  Here’s where it looks like things stand:

Cavs # 1 preference is Amar’e Stoudemire.  They have an offer out there to Phoenix.  J.J. Hickson, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, and a 1st round draft pick.  It also looks as if talks have intensified with [...]

The trade winds are swirling hard in Cavalier Land.  This weekend, speculation intensified that the Cavaliers would indeed make a major trade, and Phoenix Suns big man Amar’e Stoudemire was at the center of most of those rumors.

Adding a guy like Stoudemire to this team is scary on paper.  He just turned 27, has already [...]

I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.  The New Orleans Saints came back from a 10-0 deficit to stun Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts with a 31-17 win in Super Bowl XLIV.

The Saints were the hungrier and better coached team, and they executed their game plan flawlessly.  Precise [...]
