How much does respect matter?

 
Interesting read over at ESPN about the Buckeyes. In this article by Bruce Hooley, Kirk Herbstreit tries to make an interesting point. Here’s the quote:

In my opinion, Ohio State could do more about [improving] the image people have of its program by playing a talented USC team that right now is as hot as any [...]

The rich getting richer

Buster Olney is reporting that “the framework for a deal” is being constructed between Boston and Minnesota. Here’s a hint- the Red Sox aren’t looking at Nick Punto.

As it is being reported, the deal is Johan Santana for Coco Crisp, Jon Lester, and minor leaguer Jed Lowrie. A fourth player is being discussed. Obviously, this [...]

Does Brady Quinn need to play?

Hear me out Browns’ fans. I’m not saying he should be the starting QB…

As the Browns continue to win, and get closer to the playoffs, Derek Anderson cements his place as the team’s starting QB. He will get Pro-Bowl consideration this season. He has led this team to their best record since my nephew was [...]

LeBron injured, Cavs embarrassed

Everyone cross your fingers. Wait…not you LeBron, you rest yours.

LeBron James injured the index finger on his non-shooting hand in the second quarter of last night’s game against the Pistons. He played only 20 minutes of the game, but still managed to lead the team in scoring (15) and assists (3). Ouch. Final score, Detroit [...]

Now that’s more like it!

The Celtics came into Cleveland with the league’s best record. They ran into a Cavs team determined to remind them who the defending conference champs are.

This was a truly great game. Both teams made runs, and each had big baskets or defensive stops to keep the game within reach. Back and forth they went. The [...]

Your comments appreciated

It’s great to hear back from the readers. There is a little burst of excitement when you click on your page and see that people have been talking about a subject that you brought up. I love the opinions that our regular commenters bring to the table. In my opinion this site wouldn’t be half [...]

So, we are at an impasse

Read an interview from ESPN’s Chad Ford today. He talked with Anderson Varejao from his home in Brazil. The article paints a bleak picture for the Clevelanders that are fans of the wild haired flop artist. It seems there is little chance of Varejao playing in Cleveland anytime soon. Ford spreads [...]

MVP or bust

LeBron had his 4th triple double of the year, and his second in as many nights.

The scary part is that he didn’t even seem to be giving his best effort. In the end his 30 point, 11 board, 10 assist performance was good enough to lead the Cavs to their 3rd straight win, and 4th [...]

(Sniff, sniff) Is that the playoffs?

Easy there big guy, take a breath. One game at a time.

For once it wasn’t all Derek Anderson and the flying receivers. The defense and especially the running game contributed to this win. Chud’s game plan was terrific in this one. I will admit that in the first half I was a bit skeptical. It [...]

A little help from his friends…a little

The Cavs hit some outside shots to give LeBron a little help in beating the Raptors.

Don’t get me wrong, they still needed a triple double effort from LeBron. And that’s exactly what he gave them. James finished with 37 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists. It was just enough to edge Toronto 111-108.
Chris Bosh scored [...]

Dunk you very much…

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving. We’re thankful so many of you have made us a regular stop on the net.

Last night LeBron James and Kosta Koufos made Ohio proud with spectacular performances. For Kosta it was a coming out party with a national audience. He scored 24 and grabbed 9 boards. I don’t [...]

If only I had thought of it.

You have to read this from the Men of the Scarlett and Gray. It’s hilarious.

It never gets old

Carmen Ohio is just better on the road. Don’t know why, but it is.

Thanks to Eleven Warriors for the find.
 

Tribe signs Kobayashi!

Yes!!! Does this mean we get Nathan’s dogs at the Jake?

What…you mean there is another Kobayashi? Oh. Never mind.

Young Bucks, Shoot Well.

Pat Glasser has his eye on the Ohio State basketball team. Good thing one of us does…

Even though deer hunting season is now upon us I am referring to another group of Bucks. Last week the defending Big Ten champs and national runner’s up Ohio State men’s basketball team started their 2007-2008 season with 2 [...]
