FIRST THE BROWNS YESTERDAY SHOWED PATIENCE BY NOT JUMPING OUT OF THEIR SPOT AND PICKING JOE HADEN, AFTER THEY NEW ERIC BERRY WAS GONE. SEEING PLAYERS THAT WERE PICKED IN THE FIRST ROUND LAST NIGHT WERE NOT ON ANTIBODY'S DRAFTBOARD UNTIL THE 3RD ROUND, THE BROWNS SAT PRETTY. TODAY THEY CAN PICK CLAUSEN OR MCCOY BUT THEY MIGHT HAVE TO MOVE A COUPLE SLOTS IN ORDER TO DO SO BUT WE WILL SEE. NOW ON TO WEEK 4 AFTER LAST WEEK WHEN I JUST, WELL WE WONT EXPLAIN. SO HERE THEY ARE WEEK 4 AFL:

CHI TIE UTA: THIS COULD BE A TRAP GAME. 59-59.

ONE WEEK AWAY

2010-04-14T18:54:00.000-07:00

FROM THE 2010 NFL DRAFT. THE BROWNS HOLD THE 7TH PICK AND AS WE HAVE SEEN IN YEARS PAST, SUCH A HIGH PICK IS VERY ATTRACTIVE FOR OTHER TEAMS TO TRADE FOR. BELOW ARE WHAT I THINK ARE OPTIONS FOR THE BROWNS WITH THE NUMBER 7 PICK:

1) YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH 7: CAN YOU REALLY GO WRONG WITH SUCH A HIGH PICK? NO. THERE ARE SO MANY DYNAMIC PLAYERS IN EVERY DRAFT YOU JUST CANT GO WRONG WITH THIS PICK. IF THE BROWNS STAND PAT, I THINK THEY TAKE SAFETY ERIC BERRY FROM TENNESSEE. TAKING HIM SOLIDIFIES THE DEFENSE FOR NOW. THE BROWNS BROUGHT IN PRO BOWL CORNER SHELDON BROWNS VIA TRADE WITH THE EAGLES. BROWN WILL BECOME YOUR NUMBER 1 CORNER MATCHING HIM UP WITH OUR OPPONENTS NUMBER 1 WIDE OUT WHOMEVER THAT IS. ERIC WRIGHT SLIDES INTO THE OTHER SIDE AS THE SECOND CORNER, MAKING MATCH UPS EASIER FOR HIM TO HANDLE AND TO CONTAIN THE OTHER TEAMS NUMBER 2. NOW ERIC BERRY COMES INTO THE SAFETY SPOT PRETTY WELL. BERRY FILLS THE ROLE OF HARD HITTING SAFETY, WHICH THE BROWNS HAVE NOT HAD SINCE ERIC TURNER BACK IN THE EARLY 90'S. BERRY NOT ONLY IS A HARD HITTER, HE TAKES AWAY THE DEEP THREAT DOWN FIELD FROM OPPOSING QB'S, SOMETHING US BROWNS FANS ARE USED TO SEEING.

2) A TRADE: A TRADE FOR THE BROWNS WITH THIS PICK IS DEFINITELY POSSIBLE. ST LOUIS, DETROIT, TAMPA, WASHINGTON, KANSAS CITY, AND SEATTLE ARE ALL AHEAD OF THE BROWNS IN THAT ORDER, WITH OAKLAND AND BUFFALO BEHIND THE BROWNS AT 8 AND 9. NDAMUKONG SUH AND GERALD MCCOY ARE TWO OF THE TOP DEFENSIVE PLAYERS IN THE DRAFT RUMORED TO POSSIBLY GO 1 AND 2. THEN YOU HAVE QB'S BRADFORD, TEBOW, MCCOY AND CLAUSEN. BRADFORD HAS BEEN RUMORED TO BE PICKED BY ST. LOUIS AS WELL. THE BROWNS HAVE REPORTEDLY BEEN INTERESTED IN MOVING UP TO THE NUMBER 1 OR 2 PICK TO GET BRADFORD. WHAT EXACTLY WOULD IT COST THE BROWNS TO GET HIM.....I THINK A LOT, BUT HERE IS HOW I BELIEVE THE BROWNS CAN DO THIS. SOME PICKS IN YEARS PASSED VIA THE TRADE HAVE BEEN PERFORMANCE BASED FOR THE DRAFT THE FOLLOWING YEAR. IF THE BROWNS WERE TO TRADE WITH ST. LOUIS THE PENDING PICK WOULD BE PERFORMANCE BASED TO EQUAL OUT THE TRADE. MY GUESS IS THE BROWNS WOULD FLIP FLOP WITH ST. LOUIS. BOTH TEAMS WOULD AGREE THAT NO MATTER WHAT TEAM PICKED WHAT PLAYER, EACH WOULD OWE THE OTHER COMPENSATION BASED ON PERFORMANCE IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS DRAFT. SO IF THE BROWNS WERE TO PICK SAM BARDFORD AND HE PLAYS AN X AMOUNT OF GAMES AND PLAYS TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE BROWNS WOULD OWE ST. LOUIS NO LOWER THAN A 3RD ROUND PICK IN NEXT YEARS DRAFT. IF HE PLAYS UP TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL THEY WOULD OWE THE RAMS A FIRST ROUND PICK NEXT YEAR. THIS WOULD BE VICE VERSA AS THE RAMS WOULD HAVE TO AGREE TO DO THE SAME THING FOR WHATEVER PLAYER THEY CHOSE. I THINK THIS WOULD BE THE ONLY TRADE TO WORK OUT. IF THE BROWNS DO THIS, THEN WHAT WAS THE POINT OF SIGNING DELHOMME OR TRADING BRADY? I HOPE YOU ALL ARE STILL WITH ME BECAUSE I STILL HAVE MORE TO SAY. SORRY IF ITS CONFUSING.

3) THIS GOES ALONG WITH THE SECOND POINT. THERE ARE MANY FISH IN THE SEA FOR THE BROWNS AT THE QB POSITION IN THIS DRAFT. CLAUSEN IS HIGH ON THE BROWNS DRAFT BOARD BUT BY GETTING HIM IN THE 1ST ROUND, THE DELHOMME DEAL MAKES NO SENSE THEN. CLAUSEN SHOULD BE TAKEN IN THE FIRST ROUND BY SOMEONE ELSE, IF HE DOESN'T, THINGS CAN GET INTERESTING DURING THE SECOND ROUND. TEBOW AND MCCOY ARE THE NEXT TWO TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION. THEY SHOULD BE THERE DURING THE SECOND ROUND AND I'M SURE YOU ARE WONDERING WHY, WELL HERE IT IS: 30 OF 32 NFL TEAMS LOOKED AT TEBOW AND MCCOY. WHICH MEANS THAT 30 OF THESE TEAMS MUST THINK THEY CAN GET EITHER OF THESE TWO QB'S IN THE SECOND ROUND, OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN'T BE THAT MANY TEAMS LOOKING. IF THE BROWNS GET BERRY IN THE FIRST ROUND AND FEEL SCARED THAT THEY MUST MOVE BACK INTO THE FIRST ROUND TO GET ONE OF THESE QB'S, THEY WILL BUT I DON'T FOR SEE ANY OF THEM BEING GONE COME SECOND ROUND.. IF YOU DRAFT TEBOW YOU ARE GETTING A RB, WR, AND QB WITH HIS FRAME, SO YOU CAN DO MULTIPLE THINGS WITH HIM. IN MCCOY YOU ARE GETTING A STRONG ARMED QB WHO SHOWS A LOT OF HEART ANYTIME HE IS ON THE FIELD. THAT'S WHAT I THINK THE BROWNS CAN DO WITH THEIR NUMBER 2.

4) BACK TO A TRADE: THE BROWNS NEED A WIDE RECEIVER. IF THEY CANT GET ERIC BERRY FOR SOME REASON, THE BROWNS, I COULD SEE TRADING THEIR 7TH PICK TO BUFFALO. THE REASON FOR THIS COULD BE FOR A WIDE OUT IN JOSH REED OR LEE EVANS. HOW, WELL THE BROWNS COULD TRADE A HIGHLY POTENTIAL RB IN JEROME HARRISON WHO SHOWED PROMISE LATE LAST YEAR. BY TRADING HIM THE BROWNS GET THEIR VETERAN WIDE OUT THEY NEED AND THEN COULD DRAFT RB FROM CLEMSON C.J. SPILLER, WHO WILL BE A GAME BREAKER IN THE NFL. THIS TRADE COULD MAKE SENSE TO BUFFALO WHO ARE LOOKING TO SHIP MARSHAWN LYNCH OUT OF TOWN, IF THEY SHIP LYNCH IT MAKES ROOM FOR HARRISON. CJ SPILLER IS SURE TO BE HERE AT PICK 9 AND MIGHT NOT GO ANY FARTHER THAN THAT.

5) REVISITING POINT 1: EVEN IF THE BROWNS TRADE UP TO GET 1 OR 2, ITS NOT A LOCK TO PICK BRADFORD. REMEMBER, SUH, AND MCCOY BOTH PASS RUSHERS ARE ALSO AT THE TOP. THESE TWO WOULD FIT IN WELL WITH THE 3-4. THE BROWNS NEED TO KNOW THIS....THAT IS IF THEY TRADE UP, THEY BETTER MAKE SURE THEY GET THE GUY THEY WANT FOR YEARS TO COME WHO IS THE BEST PLAY MAKER. THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE HE IS THE DIFFERENCE MAKER AS A MATTER OF FACT.

6) ONE LAST THING: I SEE THE DRAFT FOR THE BROWNS PLAYING OUT LIKE THIS IN TERMS OF THE 1ST AND 2ND ROUND PICKS: THE BROWNS WILL STAND PAT AT 7 PICKING ERIC BERRY, SOLIDIFYING THEIR DEFENSE. THE 2ND ROUND THEY WILL PICK COLT MCCOY FROM TEXAS AND GROOM HIM AS THE FUTURE QB. FAR FROM THAT I DON'T CARE BECAUSE THAT WILL BE A PRETTY GOOD DRAFT AS IS. JAKE DELHOMME IS A GREAT MENTOR FOR MCCOY. THE BROWNS WILL GET THEIR WIDE OUT IN FREE AGENCY, REMEMBER T.O. IS STILL OUT THERE, ILL TAKE A FLIER ON HIM FOR A YEAR. GO BROWNS...THE DRAFT IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!

BOMBSHELL WEDNESDAY

2010-03-31T05:48:00.000-07:00

WELL THE RED NUMBER BY THIS DATE, SEEING I HAVEN'T BEEN ON IN OVER A MONTH IS I BELIEVE 88.....YIKES. I AM PRONOUNCING THIS DAY, MARCH 31ST, BOMBSHELL WEDNESDAY. A LOT OF THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN THE LAST MONTH WITH CLEVELAND SPORTS AND HERE IS WHAT I THINK ABOUT IT ALL, WITH THE BOMBSHELL BEING THE LAST TALK OF THE DAY:

BROWNS: HAVE MADE SOME MOVES. THEY TRADED BRADY QUINN FOR SOME PICKS AND PEYTON HILLIS, A BRUSING BACK. SIGNED JAKE DELHOMME AND TRADED FOR SENECA WALLACE. TRADED KAMERION WIMBLEY FOR ANOTHER PICK. LOOKS LIKE THE BROWNS ARE SET FOR THE DRAFT. BEFORE MORE PEOPLE CONTINUE TO MOAN, THINK ABOUT THIS, THE BROWNS HAVE REALLY YET TO PLAY A GAME UNDER NEW MASTERMIND, YES THAT IS WHAT I'M CALLING HIM, MIKE HOLMGREN. NOW HE MAY HAVE TRADED AWAY THE FAN FAVORITE AND THE MOVES HES MADE YOU'D MIGHT BE SKEPTICAL OF BUT YOU NEVER KNOW HOW THINGS WILL PLAY OUT. IF WE TAKE A STEP BACK AND THINK, HOLMGREN HAS YET TO MAKE A WRONG DECISION. SO UNTIL DRAFT DAY AND UNTIL THIS NEW PRODUCT STEPS ONTO THE FIELD, RELAX FOLKS, YOU JUST NEVER KNOW. THE BROWNIE ELF WILL RETURN WITH REVENGE IN 2010.

CAVS: WELL, SHAQ IS RECOVERING FROM HIS BOOBOO, AND ANDY IS RESTING WITH A SORE HAMMY UNTIL PLAYOFFS. Z IS BACK. THE CAVS GOT WHO THEY WANTED VIA TRADE IN JAMISON AND DESPITE A HORRIBLE FIRST GAME WITH US, JAMISON'S PLAY HAS BEEN FLAWLESS THE PAST MONTH. IF ALL GOES THE WAY IT SHOULD, THE CAVS STILL HAVE 3 MONTHS OF B-BALL LEFT TO PLAY ON MY WATCH.

BLUEJACKETS: SURE THEY ARE NOT FROM CLEVELAND BUT I STILL WATCH THEM. THEY HAVE HAD A TOUGH YEAR AND EVEN THOUGH THEY AREN'T GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS, THE FAN SUPPORT IS STILL THERE. IF THEY CAN STAY HEALTHY NEXT YEAR, THEY WILL BE RIGHT BACK IN IT FOR THE CUP.

MONSTERS: STILL IN THE PLAYOFF RACE WITH 8 GAMES LEFT BUT THEY NEED TO LEARN TO FINISH GAMES.

GLADIATORS: OPEN THEIR SEASON ON SATURDAY AT THE Q AGAINST THE ARIZONA RATTLERS. WELCOME BACK. GO GLADS HUNT THE SNAKE. MORE ON THEM LATER THIS WEEK.

AND FINALLY THE CLEVELAND INDIANS....THIS IS THE BOMBSHELL SO HERE IT GOES: THE INDIANS HAVE HAD A STRONG SPRING TRAINING AND FINALLY WITH A MANAGER WHO HAS A LOT MORE EMOTION, WILL THINGS LOOK GOOD FOR THE TRIBE IN 10', ONLY TIME WILL TELL. THAT'S NOT THE BOMBSHELL, THIS IS. THE INDIANS ANNOUNCED THAT CURRENT GM MARK SHAPIRO IS MOVING UP IN THE ORGANIZATION AND THAT ASSISTANT GM CHRIS ANTONETTI IS MOVING INTO MARK'S CURRENT SPOT, EFFECTIVE NEXT YEAR. THE DOLANS ARE MOVING MORE BEHIND THE SCENES. SO NOW HERE IT GOES, CALL ME CRAZY BUT ARE THE INDIANS ON THEIR WAY OUT OF TOWN? THEY GET A NEW SPRING TRAINING FACILITY, MOVE INTO THE CACTUS LEAGUE AND PLAY MORE WEST COAST TEAMS. THEY HAVE SPENT VERY VERY LITTLE IN FREE AGENCY, DON'T REALLY SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THE PRODUCT THEY PUT OUT ON THE FIELD, AND RIGHTFULLY SO THE TICKET SALES ARE DOWN. THE DOLANS GOING BEHIND THE SCENES WOULD PUT SHAPIRO UP FRONT AS THE SCAPE GOAT FOR MOVING THE TEAM. WITH NEW POSITIONS IN THE FRONT OFFICE, THAT COULD MEAN A NEW START WITH A NEW TEAM AND CITY. HMMMM, ITS BEEN TALKED ABOUT THAT LAS VEGAS MAYBE WAS LOOKING TO GET A TEAM. THEY SURE NEED SOME OF THOSE TEAMS OUT WEST. THIS TEAM HAS A CHEAP LOGO ON THE FRONT OF THE STADIUM THAT COSTED ABOUT WHAT, 50 CENTS? THE BUYOUT IS PROBABLY CHEAP WITH PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE. DOLANS LOST MONEY LAST YEAR WITH A BAD PRODUCT AND THE YEAR BEFORE. THEY MIGHT LOSE MORE WITH THIS SEASON. SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TIME FOR THE DOLANS TO MOVE THE TEAM ELSEWHERE. ANOTHER THING, IT WAS REPORTED THAT SHIN SOO CHOO WAS BEING OFFERED A 5 YEAR EXTENSION WITH THE CLUB OPTION FOR A 6TH AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO SIGN IT, KUDOS TO HIM. ITS ABOUT TIME PLAYERS START TURNING THEIR BACKS ON THIS CHEAP ORGANIZATION. IF THINGS DON'T GO RIGHT, GRADY COULD BE TRADED BY JULY ALONG WITH PERALTA. SO DOES CHOO KNOW SOMETHING WE DON'T, ONE MIGHT WONDER LIKE MYSELF. ONE LAST THING, IT HAPPENED WITH THE BROWNS, MOVING THEM, WHATS STOPPING IT FROM HAPPENING WITH THE INDIANS? ARE THE DOLANS THE NEXT ART MODELL?

4) LA. ANGELS: THEY ARE STILL STRONG IN THE AL WEST, COULD BE DANGEROUS COME PLAYOFF TIME.
5) STL. CARDS: ALBERT PULJOUS IS STILL SMACKING THE BALL AND THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO BE TOUGH BUT HOW FAR CAN THEY GO REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

55) CLE. INDIANS: WORSE THAN TEAMS IN THE FRONTIER LEAGUE, HAVE VERY LITTLE TALENT, OWNERSHIP IS A MESS, SPEND NO MONEY, AND THEY ARE GOING TO GET THE PRODUCT THEY PUT OUT THERE THIS YEARS....A LOUSY ONE, WHICH MIGHT NOT WIN 30 GAMES ALL YEAR. SORRY TRIBE, ILL STILL ROOT FOR YOU BUT UNTIL THEN PROVE ME WRONG.

IM BACK

2009-05-16T14:25:00.000-07:00

AFTER A VERY LONG TIME OF NOT BLOGGING. SINCE THE LAST TIME I BLOGGED, THE BROWNS GOT A NEW COACH, THE INDIANS CONTINUE TO SHOW SOME SIGNS OF LIFE BUT ARE NOT THERE YET AND CEDAR POINT SEASON STARTED TODAY, OF COURSE I WAS THERE. I GOT 12 RIDES BEFORE I LEFT BY 2:30, 6 OF THEM WERE MILLENNIUM FORCE LAPS. THIS BRINGS MY TOTAL TO 3108 LAPS. JUST 892 MORE UNTIL 4000. FOLLOW ME ON HERE IN MY QUEST TO THIS MAGIC NUMBER. ILL UPDATE EVERY TIME I GO.

ONLY 1 GAME

2008-12-28T07:26:00.000-08:00

LEFT AND IT MATTERS FOR THE REST OF THE OFF-SEASON AND WEEK 17. OUR BROWNS TRAVEL TO PITTSBURGH TO TAKE ON THE STEELERS. HERE ARE MY KEYS TO THE GAME:

SCORE A TOUCHDOWN: BY SCORING TOUCHDOWNS, YOU KEEP BIG BEN THROWING AND HE'S NOT GOOD WHEN HE'S FORCED TO THROW 25 OR MORE TIMES.

GET AN EARLY LEAD: THIS IS SOMETHING THE BROWNS HAVE REALLY FAILED TO DO SINCE BUFFALO. GETTING THE EARLY LEAD, STEMS IN WITH KEY 1.

D-FENCE: WE NEED THE D TO TACKLE, BLITZ AND BLITZ AND BLITZ AND BLITZ.

SHOW SOME FIRE AND PASSION COACHES: THIS IS SOMETHING THE TOO HAVE FAILED TO DO SINCE BUFFALO. ROMEO KNOWS HES MOSTLY LIKELY OUT AS HEAD COACH. THE GM SMELLS. THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR HASN'T PUT A GOOD GAME PLAN TOGETHER SINCE THE GIANTS GAME. THE D COORDINATOR CONTINUES TO BELIEVE IN ONLY RUSHING THREE ON 3RD DOWNS.

JUST WIN BABY: THE BROWNS JUST HAVE TO WIN BABY, IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE OUR CURRENT SITUATION. IF WE DON'T SCORE MULTIPLE OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWNS IN THIS ONE, ALL COACHES SHOULD NOT EVEN RETURN TO CLEVELAND. HAND THEM THEIR PINK SLIPS THEN. GO BROWNS GO. I PREDICT THE BROWNS IN A DEFENSIVE BATTLE TODAY WILL PLAY FOR THEIR COACHES ONE LAST TIME AND WIN OUR SUPER BOWL THIS YEAR. 20-17.

BATTLE OF OHIO

2008-12-21T05:18:00.001-08:00

I'M 1-1 IN MY PICKS THIS WEEK SO FAR. SO HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE......THE BROWNS VS THE BENGALS ON A COLD AND BLUSTERY DAY IN CLEVELAND, FOR THE BATTLE OF OHIO. I PREDICT THE BROWNS IN A SHOOTOUT. SOME MAY SAY I'M CRAZY, I PROBABLY AM BUT WHEN YOU GET TWO TEAMS WHO HAVE A TERRIBLE SEASONS AND THEY SQUARE OFF AGAINST EACH OTHER, SOMETIMES AN OLD FASHIONED SHOOTOUT HAPPENS. THE BROWNS BY A FIELD GOAL, 48-45.

MNF WEEK 15

2008-12-15T13:35:00.000-08:00

AND SO FAR THIS WEEK IN MY PICKS I'VE DONE OK, SORRY FOR NOT BLOGGING BUT I'VE BEEN BUSY. SO HIS IS MY PICK BETWEEN THE EAGLES AND OUR BROWNS TONIGHT:

THE BROWNS WILL EAT A PIECE OF THE BIG DAWG IN THE NFC EAST. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ARE GOING TO WIN BUT THEY WILL MAKE 3-0 ON MNF FOR THE YEAR. GO BROWNS GO. THEY WILL WIN IT ON A HAIL MARY WITH A TIE SCORE, WITH NO TIME LEFT IN OVERTIME. 33-27.

THIS IS WEEK 14

2008-12-07T02:12:00.000-08:00

AND I AM ALREADY 1-0 THIS WEEK AS THE CHARGERS HAMMERED THE RAIDERS THURSDAY NIGHT. THE BROWNS PLAYED TOUGH LAST WEEK BUT LOST AND NOW FIND THEIR THIRD DIFFERENT QB THIS YEAR IN KEN DORSEY. ALL OF THE EXPERTS THIS WEEK BELIEVE THE BROWNS HAVE NO SHOT AT WINNING TODAY AGAINST THE TITANS. I DO KNOW ONE THOUGH, AND THAT IS ME, SO HERE ARE MY WEEK 14 PICKS:

NYG TIE PHI: I THINK ITS GOING TO BE THE SECOND BEST GAME OF THE DAY. 24-24. YES MCNABB IT IS POSSIBLE TO TIE AGAIN.
ATL OVER NO: MATT RYAN HAS HIS TEAM PLAYING NOT TOO BAD. 26-24.

HA HA WE WILL SPOOK THE WORLD THIS WEEK BY BEING RIGHT AND THEN MAYBE WE CAN GET HIRED AT CBS TO DO THE NFL TODAY. I HEAR BILL COWHER'S SPOT WILL BE OPEN SOON. FINALLY ITS CLE OVER TEN: 27-20. THIS ONE WILL BE SO GO, THAT BRUCE GRADKOWSKI IS GOING TO COME IN AND PLAY FOR KEN DORSEY BECAUSE DORSEY MIGHT HAVE THE RUNS BY HALFTIME OR THE SCREAMING SHI!! SO THEN IN THE SECOND HALF THE BROWNS WILL TIE IT LATE IN THE GAME AT 20 WITH A RARE BRAYLON TOUCHDOWN. THE D WILL GET A STOP. BRUCE COMES BACK IN AND THROWS ANOTHER BALL TO BRAYLON FROM 40 YARDS OUT AS TIME EXPIRES AND THE BROWNS WIN. GRADKOWSKI IS THE HERO AND BECOMES KNOWN TO ALL OF CLEVELAND AS "BRUCE ALMIGHTY".

BROWNS FALL

2008-08-08T09:01:00.000-07:00

24-20 LAST NIGHT AGAINST THE JETS AT BROWNS STADIUM IN THE PRESEASON OPENER. THERE WERE LOTS OF POSITIVES. THE TWO THAT STAND OUT THE MOST ARE THE FIRST TEAM DEFENSIVE STAND AND FIRST TEAM OFFENSE TAKING IT DOWN THE FIELD ON THE FIRST POSSESSION AND SCORING A TD. BRADY QUINN ALSO LOOKED GOOD, EVEN WITH THE SECOND TEAM. NEXT GAME IS MONDAY THE 18TH AGAINST THE GIANTS FOR A NATIONALLY TELEVISED PRESEASON MONDAY NIGHT GAME AT 8 PM.

DIVISION ROUND

2008-07-02T09:22:00.000-07:00

IS HERE FOR THE AFL PLAYOFFS AND CLEVELAND WILL BE PLAYING THE GEORGIA FORCE MONDAY NIGHT. I WENT 2-2 IN MY PICKS LAST WEEK AND NOW HERE ARE MY PICKS FOR PICKS FOR THIS WEEK:

SJ OVER COL: THIS WILL BE A CLOSE BATTLE WITH SJ PULLING IT OUT IN THE END.
NY OVER PHI: I CAN SEE THIS GAME BEING PLAYED SIMILAR TO LAST WEEKS GAME AGAINST DALLAS.

CHI OVER GRR: THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE FUN TO WATCH.

CLE OVER GEO: GEO HAS BEEN ON A ROLL BUT IT'S TOUGH TO KEEP PLAYING FLAWLESS FOOTBALL LIKE THEY ARE AND THAT IS WHY I LIKE MY GLADIATORS IN THIS ONE. I THINK THEY WILL CLEAN UP THE MISTAKES AND WIN BY 3 63-60.

ITS PLAYOFF TIME

2008-06-25T07:00:00.001-07:00

AND THAT MEANS JUST WIN BABY! AFTER A WILD WEEK 17 THAT SAW NOT ONLY ME GO 7-1 IN MY PICKS BUT ALSO SAW OUR CLEVELAND GLADIATORS GET A HOME PLAYOFF GAME. YES THAT IS RIGHT THANKS TO A NEW ORLEANS LOSS AND PHILADELPHIA WIN, WE WILL PLAY THIS MONDAY NIGHT, JUNE 30TH AT THE Q AGAINST THE ORLANDO PREDATORS. TELEVISED LIVE ON ESPN2 THIS GAME WILL BE A GREAT GAME THROUGHOUT. GO GLADS GO. HERE ARE MY PICKS FOR WILDCARD WEEKEND:

WEEK 17 PICKS

2008-06-21T07:22:00.000-07:00

ITS WIN OR GO HOME WEEK IN THE AFL. MOST TEAMS IN BOTH CONFERENCES HAVE SOMETHING TO PLAY FOR. THAT IS THE CASE FOR OUR HOME TOWN GLADS. WINNING TONIGHT AGAINST C-BUS MEANS PLAY ON IN THE PLAYOFFS BUT LOSE AND ITS GO HOME AND THANKS FOR PLAYING. AS FAR AS GETTING A HOME PLAYOFF GAME GOES TWO OTHER THINGS MUST HAPPEN AND THAT IS A VOODOO LOSS TO GRAND RAPIDS TONIGHT AND A DRAGONS LOSS TO THE SOUL TOMORROW. SO HERE ARE MY PICKS FOR WEEK 17:

CLE OVER C-BUS: GLADS WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS IN A HIGHLY CONTESTED BATTLE.

I WENT 5-3 IN MY PICKS LAST WEEK BUT COULDN'T GO 7-1 OR 8-0 DUE TO LOSSES BY OUR OWN GLADS, C-BUS, AND ARIZONA. EXPERT PICKS TOMORROW, GO GLADS GO. THE GLADS NEED TO ONLY WIN THIS WEEK AND THEY ARE IN BUT A LOSS MEANS SEE YA NEXT YEAR BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

WEEK 16 IS A WILD ONE

2008-06-12T09:39:00.001-07:00

AS A LOT OF TEAMS CAN CLINCH INCLUDING OUR HOME TOWN CLEVELAND GLADIATORS. A GLADS WIN COUPLED WITH A STORM LOSS AND ORLANDO LOSS IS 1 SCENARIO. THE OTHER IS A GLADS WIN, STORM LOSS, AND FORCE WIN. THESE ARE ACCORDING TO ARENAFOOTBALL.COM. IT WILL BE A FUN WEEK AS MOST OF THE IMPORTANT GAME THAT SURROUND CLEVELAND GO OFF AT THE SAME TIME AND ARE ALL ON TV. HERE ARE MY WEEK 16 PICKS:

I WENT 5 -3 IN MY PICKS THIS WEEK. OUR CLEVELAND GLADIATORS HANDED THE PHILADELPHIA SOUL THEIR FIRST LOSS OF THE SEASON. THIS WEEKS MATCH UP AGAINST THE VISITING PREDATORS IS MUCH BIGGER. THIS GAME WILL SERVE AS THE TIE-BREAKER GAME TO SEE WHO WILL MOST LIKELY GET A HOME PLAYOFF GAME.

AND I WENT 5-3 IN MY PICKS THIS WEEK. GETTING DOWN TO THINGS, THE GLADS DIDN'T PLAY WELL AT ALL FROM THE SECOND QUARTER ON. RAYMOND PHILAW YOU HAVE TO PROTECT THE BALL BETTER AND THE COACHES YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM BETTER PREPARED THE NEXT TIME.

THE INDIANS ARE STILL STRUGGLING. THEY WON 5 IN A ROW AND NOW HAVE LOST 3 IN A ROW DUE TO THE LACK OF OFFENSIVE PRODUCTION. TIME TO FIRE WEDGE? SHAPIRO? OR MAYBE THE DOLAN'S SHOULD SELL THE TEAM TO A MORE SUITABLE BUYER WHO CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING WITH THE TEAM AND SPEND THE MONEY.

WEEK 9

2008-04-25T13:20:00.000-07:00

IS HERE AND HERE ARE MY PICKS:

GR OVER KC: KC HAS TOO MANY PROBLEMS.
NO OVER UTAH: VOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOO.
CHI OVER COL: RUSH IN A FLUSH OF THE CRUSH.
ARI OVER GEO: GOING WITH A COIN FLIP ON THIS ONE.

CLE OVER NY: GLADS FANS LETS KEEP IT ROLLING. GO GLADS GO.
ORL OVER TAM: THE WAR ON I-4 GOES TO ORLANDO.
SJ OVER LA: LA GAVE UP 83 POINTS TO US LAST WEEK, THEY MAY GIVE UP 93 TO SJ.

DAL OVER PHI: DAL GETS IT DONE.

GLADS TAKE OUT AVENGERS

2008-04-20T14:37:00.000-07:00

AND WILL PLAY NEW YORK NEXT WEEK ON FSN OHIO IN A PIVOTAL GAME. THE GLAD LAST NIGHT DEFEATED THE AVENGER 83-69. NOT VERY MUCH DEFENSE FROM EITHER SIDE BUT LIKE COACH WIPOLT SAID BEFORE THE GAME WHOEVER MADE THE MOST PLAYS WAS GOING TO WIN THE GAME. THE DEFENSE DID ENOUGH TO WIN AND THE OFFENSE TOOK CARE OF THE REST. GO GLADS AND PLAY LIKE YOU DID THIS WEEK AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL BE COMING HOME WITH A 5-3 RECORD INSTEAD OF 4-4. ON A SIDE NOTE THE INDIANS STILL CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE AFTER DROPPING YET ANOTHER SERIES AND WASTING YET ANOTHER GOOD PITCHING PERFORMANCE FROM PAUL BYRD. I THINK ITS TIME TO MAKE SOME MOVES.

WEEK 8 IS HERE

2008-04-18T06:10:00.000-07:00

AND MY PICKS ARE BELOW. BEFORE THAT CONGRATS TO THE INDIANS FOR FINALLY HITTING AND DESTROYING THE TIGERS LAST NIGHT. SO HERE ARE MY EXPERT PICKS:

TAM OVER NY: SOMEONE MUST STOP NY.
SJ OVER UT: IF SJ LOSES THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG THAT IS NOT APPARENT WITH THE NAKED EYE.
ARI OVER NO: I HAVE A GUT FEELING.

COL OVER KC: WHAT WAY WILL KC LOSE THIS WEEK.
ORL OVER GEO: TEAMS ARE SURPRISING THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY GEO BEING WEAK.
CLE OVER LA: A MUST WIN FOR OUR GLADIATORS.

CHI OVER GR: RAMPAGE ARE NOT WHO THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE.

C-BUS OVER PHI: MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL RETURNS TO C-BUS AND THEY WILL BE READY. THIS GAME WILL MAKE OR BREAK C-BUS. I THINK IT WILL MAKE THEM AND HOPEFULLY TURN THEIR SEASON AROUND.

WEEK 7

2008-04-11T09:19:00.000-07:00

HERE WE GO. THE TRIBE HAS RETURNED HOME AFTER A 2-4 ROAD TRIP AS THE TAKE ON THE OAKLAND A'S TONIGHT AT P.......... FIELD. MEANWHILE THE GLADIATORS RETURN HOME FROM A 3 GAME ROAD TRIP TO FACE THE JOHN ELWAY OWNED COLORADO CRUSH. HERE ARE MY EXPERT PICKS FOR THIS WEEK:

CLE OVER COL: BERNIE BEATS ELWAY FOR FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS.

NO OVER DAL: SOMEONE FINALLY TAKES OUT BIG D.
SJ OVER PHI: SABERCATS CAN'T BE ALL THAT BAD.
LA OVER UTA: WHO IS WORSE.

GR OVER ORL: RAMPAGE BACK WITH A VENGEANCE.
TAM OVER ARI: STORM HAVE BEEN CALM THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.
CLB OVER NY: C-BUS STARTING TO FIND THEIR STRIDE.
CHI OVER KC: BRIGADE IN SHAMBLE.

TRIBE LOSES AND REST OF WEEK 6

2008-04-05T07:49:00.000-07:00

THE TRIBE LOST 6-3 MAINLY BECAUSE OF ERIC WEDGE'S INABILITY TO MANAGE. HERE IS THE REST OF WEEK 6 IN THE AFL:

PHI OVER UTA: PHI IS HOT HOT HOT.
GR OVER NY: RAMPAGE MAY SCORE 100 THIS WEEK.
SJ OVER NO: SABERCATS TAME VOODOO.
CHI OVER ORL: PREDS ARE NOT WHO THEY THINK THEY ARE.
CLB OVER TAM: C-BUS WEATHERS THE STORM AGAIN.
CLE OVER DAL: DALLAS REALLY HATES TEAMS FROM OHIO.
