1. I’m getting tired of every so called “expert” talk about second half adjustments and play calling every time the Cleveland Browns lose a game. I’ve got an idea, how about the other team just made more plays at more crucial moments?
2. If no one showed up to the Q to witness “Quitness” on Thursday, wouldn’t that be the ultimate bitch slap back? I mean, I don’t want to be anywhere near that Arena during the game. If everyone followed suit, LePrick would notice just how important he really is.
3. There isn’t a classier boxer in the world than Ring Magazine number 1 ranked Super Middleweight and former USA Olympic Gold Medal winner Andre Ward. He wore trunks dedicated to Showtime blow-by-blow announcer Nick Charles as he battled cancer earlier this year, and after his hard fought decision over Sakio Bika on Saturday, he gave a shout out to North East Ohio Native Kelly Pavlik to let him know that he was in Ward’s prayers as the former Middleweight Champion is undergoing alcohol rehabilitation.
4. Certain things in life are undeniable. Death. Taxes. And of course The Ohio State University Buckeyes beating Michigan while winning another Big Ten Championship and securing another BCS Bowl bid.
5. The best basketball in the City continues to be played by the Cleveland State Vikings and it’s not even close. They are off to the best start in School history at 8-0, and begin Horizon League play this week. I’m shocked that the Wolstein Center crowds have been non-exhistant. Truly embarrassing if you ask me.
6. I’m dropping down $25 to play in the snow at Progressive Field. There will be more sounds of joy this winter in that ballpark then what was heard all year during the baseball season. Damn you Larry Dolan. Damn you.
7. Jared Sullinger has continued to impress me despite being double and triple teamed continuously down on the block. He has three double-doubles already, which is the second most by a Freshman behind UK’s Terrence Jones. Can I get a Buckeye versus Wildcat matchup in the tourney this year??
8. It’s simply not worth staking out overnight to get Black Friday deals. Wait it out and you will find deals that are just as good on Cyber Monday from the comforts of your own home.
9. Jake Delhomme should put the football down and pick the clipboard back up. As much of a veteran as he is, I’m still astonished at the decision he makes with the football. INT after INT. He’s like a poor man’s JaMarcus Russell.
10. Kelly Pavlik was reportedly in rehab ten days before his fight with Sergio Mora. Ten days. Pavlik was winning the fight before suffering his second cut over his eye and therefore, unable to see punch’s coming his way. This is astonishing given how much Martinez’s stock has risen. Had Pavlik been on the straight and narrow, he would have destroyed Martinez and would be on everyone’s pound for pound list. Sad story about Pavlik. Knowing him personally makes it even more difficult for me. I wish him the best and hope he comes back.
11. The biggest pet peeve in the world is getting ready to park in a parking space at the grocery store and when you’re just about to pull in, there’s a empty shopping cart in the way. SMDH.
12. Manny Pacquiao isn’t fighting Juan Manuel Marquez again. At least not next. The reason? Marquez will beat him.
13. Despite not scoring a goal in Barcelona’s 5-0 thrashing of Real Madrid, my boy Lio Messi set up David Villa for two perfect goals and was the Man of the Match, drawing six fouls and controlling the middle of the pitch
