Blog Possibilities and Thought(ful/less) Responses

The concept of changing the name to the blog to make fun of folks who run to South Beach.  Maybe we go with a broader idea?  Something that pokes fun at egos and insane trash talk ("you, sir, are a cancer to your team and to the league")?

I have promised to make this less of a Cleveland-related blog, so will quickly reply to James' thoughtful responses to my Cleveland rant the other night and then move on to things More Worldly.

Poor Jason Garrett.  He doesn't stand a chance now.  Although, he was the highest paid Assistant Coach in the league for the last few years.  He'll make it through.  Bet he wishes he took the Ravens job...

If Hillis is done, the Browns' running game is done.  Mike Bell has looked--past his prime this year.  The holes the Browns create aren't large enough for someone who can't either run over people (as Hillis did) or dodge people (as ostensibly Hardesty can do, when he's not injured).

I'm not too proud to say that if LeBron changed his mind in four years and went back to Cleveland, and actually was contrite about it ("I was young, 25 and stupid"--think Alex Rodriguez's steroids confessions), I'd welcome him back with open arms.  And heck, if he's still capable of putting up 30 on any given night, he doesn't even need to be contrite.  And isn't Isaiah supposed to be a college coach?  Why is he talking about the Knicks?

Our concerns about Colt McCoy (and I think Mike and Billy would agree on this) is that intangibles or not--and I think he's as confident as they come--he's an injury-prone guy.  He can't withstand a full season, I fear.

I like your point about baseball, especially since I think it's due for a broader discussion, but as long as Bud Selig is around--or at least operates as Stubborn Bud Selig--I don't think baseball gets a sustainable boost.  Future polemics against the sport await.

Regarding the lockout, no matter what actually transpires, the possibility of a lockout will loom.  Because if there are two things I know about lawyers, it's (1) that they only do things last-minute and (2) when there's leverage--like the possibility of another league going through a lockout--you really do things last-minute.  Fight. For. Every. Dollar.
