Cavs in trouble – Hughes out long term

6-8 weeks. Surgery. On a finger. You got to be kidding me.

I don’t think there’s any way they replace his 16 points a game. Maybe you get more out of Damon Jones and Donyell Marshall, but I think this is going to come down to a Cavs defensive adjustment. Which is gonna be tough, too, because Hughes was probably the best defender on the team…maybe with Verajao coming back soon you pick up some defense, but geez. You lose so much…flow, chemistry, scoring, defense, penetration ability….ugh. This will be a very difficult injury to deal with. Could make a huge difference in seeding.

And of course, now Lebron Has to pick up much of the slack.

What’s with all this Merletti talk?

Seriously, I never heard of this guy until this weekend.

Don’t be surprised if Lewis Merletti – a longtime Browns vice president and security chief, recently pushed out by Collins – returns to the team in an expanded role. In fact, Merletti may be a dark-horse candidate for the team president job.

I’m sure he’s this wonderful person everyone is saying he is, but folks are going to be paying a lot of attention to the next team president, and he’d better be more of a football guy than Mr. Merletti. Security chief? What is this, the NFL in Iraq?
