5 (maybe 6) Non-Influential Predictions on Cleveland Sports

With an eye toward making no predictions that have valuable insight whatsoever.  I do not desire to turn this into a Cleveland sports blog (my good friend at http://www.clevelandfrowns.com has that--and a delightful Cleveland pun--covered), but wallowing in Cleveland sports-oriented self-pity just comes to mind at the moment.

(With only a little more ado, I think we need a new name for this blog.  Ignore the Chalk only really makes sense in the heart of March Madness.  I assume the blame for this naming error.)

1)  The Browns are slowly wearing down Peyton Hillis.  He'll be hobbling in to the (fantasy football) playoffs, which will crush my team.

2)  LeBron won't be playing for the Heat in five years.  He's the next Shaquille O'Neal-type vagabond.  Which is fine if he wins four championships, I spose.  (None in Cleveland.)

3)  Colt McCoy, as much as I derided him and his ability to stay healthy, might end up being a decent starting quarterback.  Better than Vince Young, UT's other golden QB.

4)  Now that the Cavs have no chance of winning the championship in my lifetime, the Browns probably have the next best bet, if only because of parity.

5)  Not that it matters, because the way things look, there will be a lockout in the NFL next year. 

6)  (Bonus)  LeBron will win a championship before the Cavs, but if he doesn't win it this year (thought I think he will), he's going to have to wait until the 2012-2013, 'cause there'll also be a lockout in the NBA next year.
