How do you explain the Easter Bunny to young kids?  The Santa Claus thing is easy.  Even believable to some degree.  But the Easter Bunny?  My 4.5 year old caught me totally off guard the other day.

Swerb son: Daddy, how is the Easter Bunny going to bring me my Easter basket?  I thought bunnies were [...]

Temperatures in the 70’s this week.  You gotta love that.  PD says 78 and sunny on Friday.  It’s almost worth suffering through Cleveland winters to be able to experience the joy of how good it feels when the weather turns.  Kind of like being a Cleveland sports fan.  We’re by far the most tortured fan [...]

What a brutally tough way for the season to end for the Buckeyes.  That was as frustrating a basketball game as I can remember watching.  And looking back on it now that all the emotion and anger has subsided a bit, it’s amazing the Bucks even had a chance to win that game at all.  [...]

Is 2010 “The Year of the Prediction” in The Daily Dish?  After predicting the Antawn Jamison acquisition several weeks in advance, calling the exact day of the Brady Quinn trade, and picking the Saints to upset the Colts in the Super Bowl … I shocked many Dish readers (got at least 10 emails from people [...]

What’s your favorite food combination?  Not a food/drink combo like cookies & milk or pizza & beer.  Two edible things, together.  Like chocolate & peanut butter, a cheeseburger & freedom fries, bacon & eggs, or spaghetti & meatballs.  Some other popular choices would be grilled cheese & tomato soup, steak & a baked potato, nachos [...]

It’s a happy day for Cavaliers fans.  Zydrunas Ilgauskas has resigned with the team and should play in tonight’s 8 PM game in New Orleans against the Hornets.

There are all kinds of reasons to pull for the Cavaliers to win a NBA Championship this June.  Right below “IT’S BEEN 46 FREAKING YEARS!!!!” on the list [...]

I finally got sucked in.  I watched my first full episode of Dancing with the Stars last night.  After ten seasons of holding back, and being one of only about 100 Americans who had never seen American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, or The Office … ABC execs finally lured me in with Erin Andrews [...]

What a great start to the NCAA Tournament.  Thursday was probably the most exciting opening day to the tournament in my lifetime, and there were a slew of upsets and games that went down to the final horn throughout the entire first four days of the event.  Five mid-major teams made the Sweet Sixteen, three [...]

Abbreviated Dish today.  Will be out of the office the next couple of days … the Dish will return on Monday.

March Madness starts tomorrow.  There are just so many things to like about this event.  It represents everything good about sports and being a sports fan.  The event is so pure, so exciting, and always [...]

An Irishman, an Englishman and a Scotsman go into a pub.  Each orders a pint of Guinness. Just as the bartender hands them over, three flies buzz down and land – one, two, three – in each of the pints. 

The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his pint away and demands another … the Scotsman picks out [...]
