Will,

I have to admit that I have not been much help with renaming the blog. I don't really have a sense of creativity about such things, so I don't even know where to start with suggestions on this question. But, I CAN help by responding to your predictions and asking some questions of my own.

Before I do so, it should be noted that Jason Garrett, an alumnus of the high school that both Will and I attended (and brother of our 9th grade English teacher) was just appointed interim head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. I'm actually surprised that he was just named interim head coach. I thought that the Cowboys were pretty committed to him as the future head coach.

1)I wish I could sympathize with your fantasy football woes, but I gave up hope of being successful in that endeavor a long time ago. That does leave an intriguing question. If Hillis gives out due to injury, then what's Plan B in the backfield for the Browns? Montario Hardesty is hurt. Jerome Harrison is now an Eagle. James Davis was released. (I once thought he was a viable fantasy option.... shudder....) Do you think that Mike Bell can get the job done for the Browns? He was impressive at times last year for the Saints.

2) I actually agree with your prediction about LeBron James and I can't substantiate my agreement with any evidence. It just seems right. At ESPN.COM I read an interview with Isaiah Thomas who apprarently has a burning desire to return to New York as the GM. Does he return there (the man is more resilient than anyone else in pro basketball) and bring LeBron on board with the Knicks? Remember, you heard it here first.

3)I like Colt McCoy. He has all the intangibles that you want to see in a starting quarterback. He's a proven winner, he doesn't melt under pressure and he is smart. So here's my question. Can a quarterback succeed in the NFl if they have all of the intangibles and not many of the tangible qualities that you want to see in a quarterback? What is Colt McCoy's ceiling? Is he another Trent Dilfer in the making? Or does he have greater potential?

(By the way, whenever I hear Colt McCoy's name, I think of my favorite TV Show, Friday Night Lights. Have you ever seen that show Will? Simply wonderful)

4) Sorry, I cannot conceive of a world where the Browns win an NFL championship. Of course I never believed that the Red Sox would win the World Series, so I would not put a great deal of stock in my opinion. My guess is that the Indians will be next among Cleveland sports teams. They have come the closest (oh, Jose Mesa) of all the Cleveland sports teams of the past. Here's another question. Do you think that if there is a lockout in basketball and football that it will help increase the popularity of Major League Baseball?

5 and 6) I'll take your word for the lockouts in both leagues.

I'm not predicting championships for the Cavs and it is certainly too early to be making sweeping statements about the team. But so far this year, I have been really impressed this year with their bench production. In their first 8 games, it seems as if someone has stepped up off the bench and provided a nice boost to the team. I think that if this turns into a long term trend, it could provide the Cavs with an advantage over other teams. This is all contingent on the Cavaliers staying healthy, which in Cleveland sports is never a given.

While we are both native Clevelanders, I agree that this blog should not become another Cleveland sports blog. In view of that, I want to start talking about college bowl season and more college basketball. College basketball of course will give us a great chance to start talking about NBA Draft prospects, big and small at big and small schools.
