Cavs owner Dan Gilbert lays down about 350 roots in Cleveland. Here’s hoping that he’s able to keep another certain employee of his, whose number is 23, in town long term, too.

I grew up playing golf in Northeast, Ohio, have played all over the country and the world, and let me tell you something. If you’re a NEO golfer, you have no idea how good you have it here. See just how good in my Bullz-Eye Cleveland Golf Review.
Listening to baseball on the radio on a summer day is one of the fading pleasures of American life. And when the Tribe wins, it’s even better.
Ric Bucher at ESPN argues that Damon Jones didn’t really want to leave Miami for the Cavaliers.
Jones knows the Cavs aren’t ready to contend and that a lot of question marks about their chemistry and cohesion will have to be answered before they are. That’s why he’d still be in Miami had the Heat simply been willing to increase his salary more than a few hundred thousand above the $2.7 million he would’ve received had he not opted out of his two-year deal. The Cavs, after all, are reportedly starting him at $3.5 million. It’s hard to believe the Heat, had they reeeeeeally wanted to keep Jones, couldn’t have matched that.
If Jones didn’t want to leave, and Miami was nickle & diming him, give Danny Ferry his props. He kept at it, upped the ante, and delivered the deal.
The PD today did a thorough analysis of the Browns’ running woes since 1985, when Kevin Mack & Earnest Byner both ran for over 1,000 yards each. They focused WAY too much on the backs, and not one bit on the real culprit…the offensive line.
The Browns haven’t had a talented offensive line, playing intact, without injury, for a full season, since 1985. You can trace just about every problem with this team to that fact. Bernie Kosar’s career was shortened by it. Tim Couch is out of football because of it. Countless running backs have failed because of it. Our defense is on the field way too much because of it. It’s like a cancer that spreads so far it probably affects the win-loss record directly.
The best news of the preseason…the BEST…is that our offensive line is intact after the preseason. I’m not sure how talented they are, or how well they will work together, but this is truly the start and finish of the running game debate. In fact, I would wager that if a study were done, a leading factor in whether or not a team makes the playoffs is the number of injuries on the offensive line.
