Browns on Cruise contol?

There is some speculation around the league that Randy Lerner plans to sell a small portion of the Browns next year. The buyers, a possible Hollywood consortium, will have the option of purchasing the whole team, the following year. This will bring a “movie star” flavor to the Browns, with Tom Cruise being involved in the purchase. I am not surprised by this rumor. I never felt that Lerner wanted to own the franchise that his father both loved and honored. I just hope that the new owners will be as committed to winning as the new GM and coaches in the Browns organization.

Browns finally turning heads

The Cleveland Browns aren’t about to take a back seat to the Indians and Cavaliers when it comes to national attention. This year’s free agency has everyone around the league finally looking at the Browns. The Browns have created an offensive line that will boast both power and speed. They also look strong at the skilled positions.
Cleveland has nine picks in the draft, so the Browns management still has an opportunity to add to the already talented core of players.

James continues to silence critics

LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are continuing to prove all the critics wrong. James received player of the week for the fourth time this year. This is the same player that everyone, including our local writers, continued to question his ability to close a game. Charles Barkley (TNT) and Roger Brown (Plain Dealer) continue to amaze me with there criticism of James.
LeBron is a team player that feels “everyone” should contribute and is learning when to pass the ball and when to shoot it. James and the Cavs are heading to the playoffs and the only question is who they will play in the first round.

The Browns give us reason to smile

The Cleveland Browns are suddenly coming into the 2006 season with high expectations. John Collins resigned, leaving Phil Savage and Romeo Crennel with complete control of the team. This allowed them to become very aggressive in the free agent market.
The Browns President Randy Lerner speaks optimistically about how the Browns future needs to have stability and continuity. As an optimistic Browns fan, I finally have reason to believe that the Cleveland Browns are back and ready to make us proud again.

Indians are strong, but need to start fast

The Cleveland Indians find themselves in the same situation as their neighboring Cavaliers. They are both in a division that has the World Champions. The Indians are currently ranked behind the Chicago White Sox’s in the early polls, although the wild card is a very attainable goal. The most critical factor for this young team and Coach Eric Wedge is to not “start slow’.

The last couple years, Cleveland and Coach Wedge have started slow and spent the entire season making up ground. The talent and parity in the American League will not allow them to do that and still be competitive this year. It is critical for Cleveland to get out of the blocks fast and put the pressure on the Chicago early. The success of team will be based on the success of C. C. Sabathia as our number one starter, a position he has struggled with his entire career. The first month of the season will shape the entire year.
