I am a Fan are You??
I consider myself a true sports fan. I am the guy who gets decked out for games. The one who knows a lot about his "hobby". The guy who will talk about sports at the most opportune times and the most inappropriate times. I am that guy that will be in a bad mood on Saturday or Sunday if my team loses in a fashion I deem unacceptable. My wife doesn't get "my hobby". Not that I don't blame her there is a lot to get. You have to be focused for so many months out of the year. You have to be able to talk about your teams with passion and positivity at the flip of a switch. You have to be positive before the season starts and during the season uless it is going atrociously bad then you can just say there is always next year. I have heard and said this phrase a lot during my life. being from Cleveland I get a lot of grief from a lot of people about out sports teams. I am a numbers guy. I like stats and percentages YPC, ERA, RBI, YAC, and so many others. I really hated math class in school but for some reason I love the numbers part of sports. I also the love the relationships that can be formed through sports. You can meet so many types of people through sports. So the question remains are you a true fan or just part of the bandwagon? Stay tuned and thanks,

A whole lotta disarray!!!!
Oh where, Oh where do i begin? Do i begin with Rocky Colavito, Joe Table, The Curse? How about Red right 88, Elway, The Drive, Or the Kardiac Kids? What if I blogged about the Fumble, The M**ell Move, The years back on the Lake, or Lebron?
Ill take the latter. As most of you Know Cleveland has been tortured for more than 60 years. Why you ask because we are the only "Major Sports" town to not have won a Major Championship of any kind in any of the three Major sports in the last 60 years. The Last NBA Championship == Never. Super Bowl== Never. World Series== does being one out away in 1997 count? thought so. its been since 1948 in that sport.
Seven years ago Lebron became to our Town and he was the Heart and soul of a city gasping for some sort of relevance in the world. We weren't looking for mediocrity, we were looking for the beginning of a new era in C-Town sports. He was going to get everything started just like the Red Sox did in 2004.
In 48 days Lebron is going to decide whether or not to stay in Cleveland where he grew up went to High School, Plays here and Lives here. (Akron) but who cares.
If Lebron leaves when will Cleveland sports be relevant again?
Will it be when Holmgren finally gets us above .500, How about when the Indians have a better record than the Nationals?
I don't know the answer to that question but I do know that if Lebron leaves who is going to want to come to Cleveland and play for the Cavs, who will be worth at least 100,000,000 dollars less (that's Right one hundred million). As soon as he leaves Cleveland. Lebron is the only thing that is enticing in this town for Free agents.
I guess in all of this i feel like this is what happens to Clevelanders when something good starts to happen and than bam your team is in Baltimore or you get knocked out in the eastern conference semi's.
I am and will always be a Cleveland Sports fan no matter who is playing in town are just stopping by on there way to some where better! The Great Thing about Cleveland Sports Fans are we always come back and we are the Most supportive fans in the world even when we get our hearts ripped out. Live Well Love a lot!!
