Is the Out With Danny Ferry, In With Tom Izzo Routine a Coincidence?
Posted: 7th June 2010 by Jimmy Weinland in NBA
Are we to believe the resignation of Danny Ferry, and the Cavs alleged contract offer to Michigan State’s Tom Izzo are unrelated?
Not a chance.
The whole thing went down like this:
GILBERT : "Enough is enough. We are firing Mike Brown. This is my call now, he's out and I want to hire my hero Tom Izzo."
FERRY : "Hiring a coach with no NBA experience is a horrible idea. ...
Indians-White Sox: Fan Thoughts on Opening Day as Sox Smooth Tribe Like a Sheet
Posted: 6th April 2010 by Jimmy Weinland in MLB
I am an Indians fan who was in attendance for their game at US Cellular Field against the Chicago White Sox on Opening Day, April 5, 2010.
Here are my thoughts.
Typical Mark Buehrle Opening Day game if you are a Tribe fan. Either he is a hair off and the Tribe rips him for eight runs and a granny in the first inning, or he mows them down like grass all ...
Joe Mauer’s Contract Had To Be Done, But Will Turn Out Badly in the End
Posted: 22nd March 2010 by Jimmy Weinland in MLB
Let me be the first to say congratulations to the Minnesota Twins for locking up Joe Mauer for the next eight years. His monstrous $184 million deal is good for their fans, good for the city, and good for baseball in general.

It's too bad because pretty much everything about the deal is a slam dunk. It had ...
Cleveland Browns Owner Randy Lerner Should Apologize, Not Derek Anderson
Posted: 10th March 2010 by Jimmy Weinland in NFL
Here’s some Cleveland Browns news that isn’t really news to anyone: Browns cut one-hit wonder Derek Anderson; Anderson blasts Cleveland fans on his way out the door.
Pretty much business as usual for one of the most hopeless organizations in the NFL. Anderson's wrath and subsequent apology (stating Browns fans are ruthless and don't deserve a winner) stemmed from a November 2008 game against the Indianapolis Colts where Browns fans cheered as he ...
Culture of Jerk: Big Baby Trying To Injure Shaq Shouldn’t Shock Us

I hope Boston Celtics fans arenÆt proud of the product they see on the floor every night. In fact, I hope deep down they are ashamed.
I say this as a Cleveland Cavaliers fan, of course, so let me get it out there right away. I understand that fans of other teams might hate mine.
LeBron can come off as annoying, Anderson Varejo must drive people crazy and I know Shaquille OÆNeal ...
Antawn Jamison: The Real Winner of NBA Trade Week
Posted: 20th February 2010 by Jimmy Weinland in NBA
Cavs fans had to take a little extra Pepto-Bismol with their coffee these past few days before the NBA trade deadline,á which should serve as good practice for this summer when LeBron is wined and dined in every US city imaginable.á But when it was all said and done, the Cavs swung a very favorable deal for themselves, especially if Zydrunas Ilgauskas is bought out of his contract and returns ...
