Kyrie Irving.  All that and a bag of chips.  Yeah, I know, I’m supposed to be cheering for the Cavs to lose so we can get another Kyrie-esque player in next year’s draft.  I’m sorry – I can’t do it.  I can’t cheer against this team.  I can’t cheer against Kyrie.

Doesn’t get much sweeter than [...]

It’s a snowstorm in Cleveland this morning.  The amount of precipitation we’ve seen in the last 9-10 months is just absolutely ridiculous.  It’s almost as if Mother Nature is punishing Cleveland for Jimmy Dimora.

I finished reading “The Hunger Games”.  Outstanding book.  I’m moving right on to the second book in the series.

And I’m totally confused [...]

The Plain Dealer has removed Tony Grossi from the Browns beat.  The move comes after Grossi tweeted that Browns owner Randy Lerner was a “pathetic figure, the most irrelevant billionaire in the world.”  Grossi immediately realized what he had done and deleted the tweet, but not before many people had copied and pasted it or [...]

Apple.  My lord. 

I feel like just mailing them all my money, getting it over with now, and moving forward.  Their products are too good.  You win Apple.  Uncle.

For those that missed it, in an earnings release last night, Apple reported that their quarterly results for the fourth quarter of 2011 OBLITERATED Wall Street’s projections.  Blew [...]

I’ve got that sick teasing gene as a parent.  It was cultivated by years of my uncles teasing me when I was a kid.  I can’t help it.

This is how sick I am.  Bath and bed time last night.  I announce it, then run upstairs and implore the kids to follow me.  I race and [...]

These NFL playoff games have been amazing.  Both games yesterday were outstanding.  Absolutely riveting television.  And we’ve got an outstanding Super Bowl matchup in 13 days between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants – a rematch of the Super Bowl four years ago, won by the Giants by a 17-14 final score.  [...]

Nothing can shock me anymore in professional sports.  Not even the breaking news that Fausto Carmona’s real name is Roberto Hernandez Heredia and that he’s 31 years old and not 28.  This was all brought to light yesterday when Carmona/Heredia/Keyser Soze was arrested in the Dominican Republic after applying for a visa (under the fake [...]

Coming off the heels of their entry into the K-Cup market, Starbucks has now introduced a new milder blend of coffee that they are calling their “Blonde Roast”.  Clearly, this is a play to appeal to more coffee drinkers who don’t care for Starbucks stronger blends.  Put another way, they’re going after the Dunkin Donuts [...]

I took my little guy sled riding yesterday, which I am constantly reminded of every time I move any part of my aching body.  Weather was perfect for it yesterday.  40 degree day coming off a few days of snow.  Hill was PACKED with kids.  There’s nothing better than the mostly harmless collisions at the [...]
