Well – we said yesterday that the first round of the NFL Draft could go in a lot of different directions for the Browns.  And after A.J. Green and Patrick Peterson went off the board with the two selections before theirs, the Browns decided to trade down, collecting a slew of picks from the Falcons [...]

It’s draft night.  “The night” Browns fans typically start looking forward to every year in mid-October after the teams’ annual poor start to the season.

What are the Browns going to do?

Most likely scenario to me … 

Panthers – QB Cam Newton, Auburn
Broncos – DT Marcell Dareus, Alabama
Bills – LB Von Miller, Texas A&M
Bengals – WR A.J. [...]

Couple little birdies whispering in my ear about the Browns draft are saying this: The Browns love Alabama DT Marcell Dareus, but know the chances of him slipping to #6 are slim to none.  If he slips past Denver at #2, a trade up to get him is not out of the equation.  If they [...]

Am I the only person in the US that could care less about the “Royal Wedding”?  I gotta admit, I am flabbergasted by Americans fascination with it.  I didn’t even know about it until someone casually mentioned it Friday night.  Then I couldn’t run away from all the coverage and attention this weekend.

It’s not like [...]

Some Friday quick hits before the Easter weekend …

Cleveland Magazine’s “Best Restaurants” edition hit my mailbox yesterday.  Their pick for best new restaurant in Cleveland?  Deagan’s – who we rent the space to inside our First Federal of Lakewood Corporate Headquarters here at the corner of Detroit and Warren in downtown Lakewood.  And the honors [...]

The Browns schedule is out.  The highlights …

Open the season at home against the Bungles.
After that they go to Indy to play the Colts, then come back home to host the Dolphins and Titans.
Early bye week (week 5).
Four of their final five games are against the Ravens and Stillers!  With a roadie to AZ to [...]

Clash of the Titans.  Indians versus Royals.  Four games in Kansas City between the two early season AL Central powerhouses.

Who saw this coming?

The Royals are coming off a 3-2 loss to the Mariners yesterday, but took the first three of the series, and sit a game behind the 11-4 Indians at 10-5 on the year. [...]

The city of Cleveland continues to shrink.  The results of the latest census just revealed that the city has lost over 81,000 residents in the last ten years, falling from the 33rd most populated city in America to 45th.  Cities like Virginia Beach, VI and Omaha, NE now have more people living there than Cleveland.  [...]

Tough end to the west coast trip for the Indians, who dropped consecutive one-run games to the Halos the past two nights.  But I think we have to look at it this way – the team went 4-2 out west, and the pitching was outstanding.

Now at 8-4 on the season, the Indians come home today [...]

Wish me luck.  The “Binkie Fairy” is set to visit Twinsburg, OH Thursday night to take away all of my daughter’s pacifiers to redistribute to other babies, and to leave her a present in exchange for her being such a big girl now.

Put another way, my life is going to be hell for a few [...]
