Terry Pluto: Time for Cleveland Browns to get defensive
I don't care why people say Todd Grantham was fired. The defense wasn't good enough. The Browns need to stop the run in order to win, and they didn't' stop the run well enough. So, it's good that Todd Grantham was fired because maybe they'll stop the run better now. [Rain Lineman]

Anderson Varejao is different from most NBA sixth men. Instead of being a scorer, he plays good defense. No one else other than Lebron is very good, so maybe he's the Cavs second-best player. It's good that he plays well, because he wants a lot of money. [Grumpy Bill]
