The Daily Dish - February 22, 2012

Some quick hits on a Wednesday.  Day off for The Dish tomorrow.

Kyra Sedgwick don’t got nothin’ on Kyrie Irving.  The Cavs rookie point guard continues to dazzle, scoring 17 of his 25 points last night in the final quarter to lead the wine and gold back from a big deficit and to a 101-100 win [...]

Cleveland Indians Spring training is underway in Goodyear, AZ.  And locally, the high temperatures for the next three days are 46, 48, and 55 degrees.  It’s the middle of February.  It’s all good right now.

The Tribe had another headline-quiet off-season, but I like what they did given the limited resources they had to work with.  [...]

Pat Shurmur is leading brainstorming sessions, the Artist Formerly Known as Fausto Carmona is preaching to Dominican youths about telling the truth, and LeBron James says he would be open to coming back to play for the Cavaliers.  As if the Cleveland sports scene couldn’t get any more bizarre. 

Here’s LeQuit’s comments:

“I don’t know. I think [...]

You just can’t make stuff this funny up.  Randy Lerner, owner of the Cleveland Browns and the Aston Villa soccer team in the English Premier League, has mandated that Aston Villa coach Alex McLeish come to America to “brainstorm” with Browns head coach Pat SHUR-MUR, believing it will be beneficial to both men.

Sending a coach [...]

It’s Valentine’s Day.  Time for The Dish to dole out a little love on a snowy Tuesday on the north coast …

Daily Dish love for Urban Meyer, for stealing everyone else’s recruits, restoring a commitment to excellence to Buckeye football, and for making me forget about Joe Bauserman.

For Mother Nature, for this mild winter she’s [...]

And Iiiiiiiiiii ….. can’t possibly lead The Dish with Whitney Houston, can I?  I’ll keep it brief and say this – she was amazingly talented.  I still remember to this day where I was standing as a 14 year old kid when she delivered the most memorable rendition of the National Anthem I can ever [...]

The Daily Dish - February 9, 2012

No Kyrie, no Tristan, no problem for the Cavaliers last night.  The good guys defeated the new-look Los Angeles Clippers 99-92 last night at The Q, who came into Cleveland sporting an impressive 15-7 record.  The Cavs are playing very well despite being crippled by injuries, being forced to play Neanderthals like Luke Harangody and [...]

The Daily Dish - February 8, 2012

Just make it to March Madness.  That’s my annual philosophy on making it through Cleveland winters.  Once you get to mid-March, Saint Patty’s Day, and the start of the men’s NCAA basketball tournament … we’re pretty much in the clear.  Outside of Indians opening day in early April (when snow is a given), once you [...]

Another outstanding Super Bowl.  Wow!  What a game.

I thought the better team won the football game, though clearly, the Patriots could have emerged victorious.  But when you’re playing at this elite level in late January and early February against such strong opponents, you can’t make the mistakes the Pats did if you want to persevere. [...]

The Daily Dish - February 3, 2012

Super Bowl Sunday.  One of the greatest days of the year.  Friends, family, food, spirits, and all kinds of ways to make the game more interesting.  The commercials, the entertainment, the six-hour pre-game show.  The fact that it is the final game of the year for America’s most popular sport. 

And the games have been great [...]
