• A Decade of Ben

  "This is about being a Pittsburgh Steeler for as long as I can be. I love Pittsburgh," Roethlisberger said. He added that he "wanted to be like the Dan Marinos, like the John Elways, guys who played with one team their whole career."...

• Status Chek

  What do you do? You listen to dead men sing and run endlessly and dream of lost brothers. You might still say "Araby" is your favorite short story but the truth is that "Araby" was the last short story you read, and it'd probably...

• In Praise of Milwaukee

  Major League I love the fact that Indians are in Milwaukee this week. OK, maybe _love_ is a little strong since it sucks to have the weather we've had. But of all the possible solutions to the problem I think going to Milwaukee was the best. Milwaukee...

• Why Drennan?

  It is amazing that Bruce Drennan, out of prison for only a couple weeks, has already lined up broadcast work on Sportstime Ohio and elsewhere. I don't say that because he is a convicted gambler covering professional sports -- nothing shocks me anymore...

• Steeler Aftermath

  It was like January 2003 all over again with Buckeyes getting a big win, and the Browns blowing it against the Steelers. Well, almost. Certainly the Browns had many golden opportunities to bury a down-on-it's-luck Steeler team. But the Browns just...

• Random Notes...

  Todd Grantham could be named head coach at Michigan State on Monday. Let me express my opinion on that: IT WOULD SUCK. I really like Grantham as defensive coordinator. While we haven't been good against the run, Grantham has often managed to squeeze... Posted Nov 17 2006, 04:10 PM by MikeB with | with no comments Filed under: General, Browns, Indians

• BALCO Reporters Headed to Jail, Ergo Dire Consequences for Our Nation

  The guys who wrote about the BALCO investigation and put out that book on Barry Bonds could be <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2597854">heading to jail.</a> The reason? They are refusing to comply with a grand... Posted Sep 21 2006, 11:53 PM by MikeB with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: General

• Camp Continues Blather

  I can't do anything but pile on to the misery regarding Hallen's sudden departure. Something weird is obviously amiss, and I kind of feel bad for the guy. But still, this leaves the Browns in fairly dire straights at center. But it's not necessarily all... Posted Aug 09 2006, 01:20 PM by MikeB with | with no comments Filed under: General, Browns

• Fleeing a War Zone

  Definitely not Browns related. If you aren't interested, read no further. I have to get something off my chest regarding the recent Israeli-Hizbollah fighting. It certainly looks like a war and it's serious business. But this crap really gets under my... Posted Jul 19 2006, 09:03 AM by MikeB with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: General

• Random Notes

  Listening to WKNR's Kenny Roda Monday... you know, in a lot of ways Roda has been spot on with regards to Cleveland sports that past few years. It didn't take him long to turn on Butch Davis and recognize him as the dishonest blow-hard that he was. He...

• Chatter & Blather

  The schedule is out. You have to hand it to the NFL -- they keep a steady stream of "news" throughout the offseason. Even the schedule, which might be the biggest non-news piece of news all offseason, still gets on the front page of every sports section...

• The Worthless, the Worthy, and the Damned Blather

  You probably already saw this SI article lavishing priae on the Browns . It's a guilty pleasure, these sort of things. It's the offseason, and we haven't won jack yet, and who knows how it will all work out. But it is damn nice to read a complimentary...

• Casey & Many Others

  Required reading. I've always liked Casey Coleman for his frankness, and his quick words. He is a real person and it's always easy to tell that the person you hear on the air is probably the same guy off the air. I had heard he was an alcoholic, but you...

• NFL Notes, Pronk

  Peter King wrote last week: "There is no way the Green Bay Packers are losing to the worst team in football, at home, on the day Reggie White’s number is retired." He was right, of course, because the Browns are not the worst team in football. Not even... Posted Feb 27 2006, 05:42 PM by MikeB with | with 3 comment(s) Filed under: General

• Huggins Takes a Hike

  Bob Huggins is out in Cincinnati. Very, very long-time readers may know that I (as a biased Dayton alumus) am no fan of the UC basketball program that has fostered the dysfunctional growth of young men from JUCO transfers into, well, nothing more than...
