All three Cleveland teams have made a little bit of news this morning and since this site was started as a Cleveland sports blog, lets discuss each team.
Phil Savage is as big of idiot as The Chocolate Dumpling. Yesterday, the Browns GM denied the team was considering putting Brady Quinn in the game, even though The Chocolate Dumpling already said he was thinking about. Savage said “you don’t go blowing things up after a couple games. You’re not going to be successful in this league doing that.” Hmmm, really, Phil? Do you remember last year when you were the first GM in the history of the NFL to trade an opening day starting quarterback the day after the game?
Savage continued saying The Chocolate Dumpling has his support but still questions some of his moves. He said, “Some of the criticism he’s brought on himself, there’s no doubt about that.” What criticism was he referring to? “The field goal tries in the first couple of games, the clock situation before the half against Pittsburgh.” At least he didn’t bring up anything from the Cincy game. But my question is, how can a GM give the coach all his support and yet still call him out? An embarrassing loss on MNF to the NYG and look for The Chocolate Dumpling to end up like his deep fried Twinkie tacos, chewed up, shat out and in the toilet.
Basketball season is here. The Cavs opened training camp yesterday but that isn’t why basketball season is here. I got my registration sheet for Team River City. I think we got something special going on this year. Almost as special as the Cavs. Both TRC and the Cavs went under a roster change last year. Like TRC, the Cavs have a year (slightly less) of playing together. The Cavs made a nice off season pick up, something TRC may have to do. These thing could only mean one thing for both teams, Championship.
The Cavs have their best team in the six years of LeBron James’s reign. (Can you believe he has been in the NBA for six year? Sure doesn’t seem that long.) And that’s not just me saying it, that’s what LBJ said: “This is the best team we’ve had since I’ve been here, especially to start off the season. They did a great job of going out and getting players that could help win a championship. There’s really no excuse now. We have guys that can go out and dominate a game.”
LeBron is aware the only new guy on the team (that will get significant minutes) is Mo Williams, right? I’m not doubting our kings words but he has said the same thing every year. You could say he is just being “politically correct” and my favorite sports phase “saying all the right things,” but I think he is right. This is the year. It has to be. And it will be. Like TRC, the Cavs will be raising a championship trophy. (TRC will be wearing our championship t-shirts.)
In the latest, GM’s are the slowest to pick up on the obvious, Mark Shapiro is finally going to move Jhonny Peralta to third, maybe. Shapiro says he is going to bring in another infielder, either a second or third baseman. Just make it a second baseman, move JP to third and get the obvious over with.
FYI – Yes, W is now the most hated and gayest commenter on the site, passing up Graig and Seal for the honor of both. Any future Desperate Housewives talk will be deleted and result in a one day suspension from commenting.
Ok, well at least let me get one more comment in and I will never mention Desperate Housewives again. I was watching before the game last night and they did an interview with Desmond Mason where his good friend along with his wife guessed at questions to get to know him better. One question, “What is your favorite tv show?” Derricks answer? Desperate Housewives.
And I don’t point fingers on who is the gayest commentator on here. I will keep that my opinion to myself, and I think there are multiple pointless comments a day. At least I stir up some controversy.
And btw… I didn’t realize this was a Nazi website and Beanie is a communist.
You are really pushing your limits, W. Your suspension is just one more worthless comment away.
No no. I just had to get that last one out. I had a nice chuckle to myself when I heard Desmond Mason say that and was really hoping that fellow JBeanie fans heard it too. Not that I’d get any credit, but at least I am not the only one.
Who is derrick??? i thought you were talking about Desmond. i would like to apologize for my actions the last couple of weeks by being brought down to the annoying level of W and Damman, although i never made an agrument of who sucks more I will always know this year UM blows until OSU loses to wisconsin and since we beat wisconsin, UM will be better – but not until then. anyways i apologize.
By the way – Savage isnt being hypocitical. everyone knows you can’t blow up your rosters after the first couple of games which he did not do last year. he used the window between game one and the first couple games to blow up the roster. after game one do anything you need to do but do nothing after game 2 – its common knowledge
I believe Scott just broke the aforementioned rules mentioning a certain 2 teams that were not mentioned in the post.
You know who I ment S. I don’t have time to edit my work.
I don’t even know what to say anymore in fears that I will be suspended. So this is what it is like to live in China. Question though. If I am suspended do I have the oppurtunity to appeal and until a decision is made by the group I can still comment? Kind of like in baseball.
Nope, W. This is a dictatorship. Not a democracy.
And I’ll allow S’s comment since he apologized (and he’s my brother and a Michigan fan.)
It’s Graig’s birthday today so happy birthday to him. I think he isn’t commenting today because he is spending his day doing what he loves more than anything, seeing how many envelopes he can lick in a hour, then trying to beat that record.
Happy Bday Graig. I hate licking envelopes. You think by now they would have made the glue taste better. Like snazzberries or something.
And speaking of licking envelopes, I like the Seinfeld episode where George’s fiance is killed by the toxic glue on the envelopes she is stuffing for their invitations. Then when he gets the news he is ecstatic. Random? Yes, but Beanie’s comment made me think of the episode.
I am a little late to the show today, apologies. Running your blog like a dictatorship is a change that I’m glad that I made. It isn’t a fucking democracy.
W, was it Desmond Mason the basketball player or Derrick Mason the football player??? Pretty big difference between the two.
derrick mason the football player. sorry for the confusion. i think i confused myself with my write up as well.
