The official Browns web site has a great article remember two great former Browns - Donnie Rogers and Eric Turner. Both men were great safeties for the Browns, and both tragically died before their time. Bill Rees remembers both players that he recruited and coached while at UCLA.

ESPN is reporting that the Cavs have made a max offer to Michael Redd. They delivered a video from LeBron James to Redd with the offer immediately after the clock began ticking on the new free agent period. They apparently sent a similar video to Ray Allen.

The Bucks also made a max offer to Redd, meaning their offer will be at least $20 million more than the Cavs are permitted to offer. Many expect Redd to stay with the Bucks, but he did not immediately accept their offer, hopefully leaving the door open for the Cavs.

Update - The Beacon-Journal is reporting that Michael Redd will come in soon for a visit with the Cavs. It looks like Redd is not in a hurry to make a decision, improving the chances that he will select the Cavs. The Cavs just need to make sure that he doesn’t take too long. If he doesn’t commit they should quickly turn thei attention to Ray Allen.

C.C. Sabathia has had some rough outings since his lame slide into third base several weeks ago, but he rebounded tonight with a dominating performance against Baltimore as the Tribe cruised to a 3-1 victory. Wickman picked up another classic save, getting a double play to end the game after his errant throw put runners on first and second with one out.
