IS IT ROCK BOTTOM

Is the Detroit lions going 0-16 rock bottom for the state of Michigan? i really hope so. Michigan has had the shortest end of the stick since this whole "recession" started its always something in Detroit. i think that they have hit rock bottom by going 0 for whatever. the only way to go know is up. Right know in this point in time i don't think that they are the worst team in the NFL right know. Detroit always get the bad wrap for having the worst economy and the worst weather, the worst sports teams. i have a feeling that this is what is going to pull Detroit out of the worst of it. I am probably being very naive about this whole thing but really can they get any worse? they can lose any more games in a single season. They only have up to look up down is not an option.

Ending of an era and the turning of the page!!!!!!!!!!!

As of this morning on Monday December 29, 2008 there is know a new era in Cleveland browns football history. That 's right folks Romeo Crennel got the boot after a 4-12 record and failed to win the last six games of the season. To be fair i know that it is not all of his fault but you cant fire an entire team. if you could than anybody not on the ir should get fired. The head coach always has his head on a chopping block. He is the first one to go when the team seems to move backwards instead of forwards. As a true sports fan i feel like romeo got a raw deal in the fact that he did what he could with what he had. three qbs get hurt two are on the ir your best receiver had a staph infection that nobody knew about. Your general manager brings in the right personnel but with a guy that cant capitalize on the talent that he has it is very hard to put together a winning strategy and let alone great team chemistry. Phil Savage also got his pink slip he actually got his before the season finale on Sunday. Who is going to be the next browns coach. Definitely not Bill Cowher who played and coached in Cleveland before going to the steelers. I think somebody with head coaching experience is a must. The Cleveland fans are to prideful to have another offensive coordinator come over and not know what to do the first three years he is hear. A college coach will not suffice either because this is a totally different game than the ones they play in the FBS. just go ask Butch Davis or "Nick I'm not going to Alabama Saban". In my opinion the Browns have the right players they just don't have the right dog running their pound. In my mind i think that the browns will look back at their history of coaches and will get a good idea of what coach they want to pursue. (Marty Schottenheimer) until next time.

Writing What I Know

Here is what i know I am a die hard Cleveland sports fan why you ask? The answer to that question will always be a little blurry. but this year the city of Cleveland has hope for a championship not the Browns or the Gladiators or even the Indians but the Cleveland Cavaliers have the chance to put Cleveland on the map and make this city in to a true believeland. The NBA season could be bitter sweet for fellow clevelanders as we may see greatness slip by us once again. after the 2010 season Lebron becomes a free agent and "wants to be a global icon" will probably move to New York and play for the newly acquired by Jayz Knicks (currently an owner of the nets). The bright side is that Dan Gilbert said he will match any offer by any team to keep Lebron in Cleveland. That is what i know. So in 2010 it could be abright Year or a really dark year.

Writers Block

Sorry to the three people that read this. I have not had any interesting thoughts lately or when I do I don't know how to type them out. I suppose that I have writers block. I have alot of ideas but when I start typing my mind goes blank. I think about what i am going to say and than when I get home ready to type nada. My blank slate stays a blank slate for another day. I don't want to force any writing out because than that is unnatural. I write what i know and very rarely do i not have any thing to say. If anybody has any advice about writers block please pass it along. Thanks and Merry Christmas. : )

OIC!!!!

if anybody who reads the title of this and knows what it means than we need to talk. This is the phrase Cleveland sports fans have been saying since 1964 that's Right almost 45 years since we have had any type of championship. OIC means Only In Cleveland. Cleveland is know the most tortured sports. There even more tortured than Detroit at least they have the pistons and the red wings.

What is it about for you?

Christmas is only 15 days away and i want to get some thoughts about what it means to you and to your family. Christmas before i was married was about getting gifts that i wanted and getting the best things. know that i have been married i have realized that that all those wants are just things and in the end we will have the greatest present ever eternal life. But besides all that Christmas is not about the gifts for me i could care less if i have gotten any or not its about the expression on my wife's face when she opens her presents on Christmas day. Gift giving is my "gift". I don't really like receiving gifts because i have a bad expression for opening gifts. Christmas is also about family time for me since we have moved away and we don't get to see our families very often Christmas is the time where we can put all differences aside at least for one day out of the year. this year we are not going home for Christmas and this will be our first Christmas alone since we have been married. I am also big on traditions i like to do the same things every year leading up to Christmas. We have to get a real tree, We have to build a ginger bread house, we have to watch it's a wonderful life, on Christmas eve you get to open one present, on Christmas eve attempt to go to a candlelight service. A new tradition is we have to read my favorite Christmas book of all time the polar express. My mom used to read this book to me when was a little kid for Christmas and someday i will read it to my kids.

You root for who?

Is your favorite team headed to post season play? Do you have high expectations year after year and they always let you down? are you a fan of the Lions or the Browns? I am in fact a fan of the latter. Why do I root for them? that is a question that I keep telling myself every Monday after a heart breaking loss. I root for them because when they left in 1995 there was no team there. the city had lost hope they had nothing to root for. after they came back in 1999 the city got excited and got behind them 150% selling out games and bringing back the DAWG POUND. But know to answer the Question of why i root for a team that i know will not go anywhere anytime soon. for the simple fact that i love my town and the browns are part of what makes Cleveland, Cleveland. I also don't want to see them leave again. It is also very nice to see a team that is so passionate about there sports still continue to watch and go to games even in this economic condition. Let me know if this falls in your thoughts the way it did mine. Live well love alot.

Rules of the Road !!

This post is in no means has anything to do with my friends. Amanda and i were driving to and from Ohio this holiday season and I came up with a couple of things in need to let out. ( I don't have road rage so this is my rage.)
1. DO NOT DRIVE IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND NOT GET OVER WHEN SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO PASS YOU.
2. DO NOT TALK ON YOUR CELLPHONE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.
3. PLEASE USE YOUR BLINKER WHEN YOU CHANGE LANES.
4. WHEN YOU MERGE KEEP GOING DON'T STOP THE YIELD IS NOT A STOP SIGN

These are the majors ones that tick me off. i do drive for a living o see all of these on a daily basis.
so when you are driving be aware and pay attention because someone else might not be.
