Livingston notes that scouts are saying Lebron is handling the ball too much. Maybe Mike Brown got excited when they handed the ball to Lebron in one of those comeback games and it worked. I would imagine it’s far too easy to just hand the ball to Lebron…it covers up the many defensive flaws in this team.

Or is Mary Kay Cabot just intent on creating a bunch of prima dona big mouths in Cleveland?

It festered so much that when Northcutt did finally get the ball, he dropped it more often than in the past. Two of the bigger ones came on what could have been a game-winning drive in Houston and a key third-down pass in Pittsburgh on which he was wide open. “I had to go back to the early part of the season and say, ‘That’s not me, I don’t drop balls like this, my hands are better than that,’ ” he said. Northcutt said he didn’t have chemistry this season with either quarterback, Trent Dilfer or Charlie Frye. “They weren’t comfortable with me, and I don’t think they had any confidence in me,” Northcutt said.

There should be a rule that wide receivers have their mouths taped shut at the beginning of every NFL season, and removed only after their last game of the season.

I’m glad I was doing something productive, like drinking a beer, while the Cavs game was on the screen at the bar last night. The Cavs have been figured out by their opponents.

This thing where the Cavs give up a million points in the first quarter, and then struggle to lose on a score that doesn’t reflect how lopsided the game was…that’s getting old. Does anyone play defense on this team?
