At the Olympics, world records are falling like self esteem at a bulimic convention. Michael Phelps set a world record in all eight of his events (right?) and Usian Bolt easily broke the 100m record while basically moonwalking and mocking the world. All the record setting performances got me thinking of what record I would most like to hold. There are plenty of great records no doubt, but ...

I apologize for not posting yesterday. The work load is going to start picking up here at work, especially on Monday’s so there may be a some Monday’s I don’t get around to posting something. I apologize in advance.
With that out of the way, what the hell was that last night?!?! That was the ugliest display I’ve ever seen. It was hideous, outrageous, absurd. Then there was the actually ...

Today is going to be a weak effort and I apologize in advance but I got nothing to write about today and I don’t feel like trying to come up with something.
But I do have a few announcements.
First, everyone set your DVR’s to FSN Ohio for 6:30 p.m. (maybe 6:00) on Thursday, Aug. 21. That’s when your favorite blogger, J Beanie himself, will make his highly anticipated state-wide ...

Contrary to reports, Danny Ferry is not spending the summer chasing ice cream trucks, touring the country finding the best water parks, watching marathons of Animaniacs or watching highlight film of his days in the Cavs uniform thinking what a good deal Cleveland got when they traded Ron Harper. Ferry is actually working. He is looking for ways to make the Cavs better. He is looking for ...

With not much to talk about today and lots of stuff to do at work, we’ll get make this a quick post. I saw a great picture of Joe Paterno in the Plain Dealer today. I can’t find a copy online to post it here but it reminded me of a very accurate, insightful and well spoken quote: “Old people don’t need companionship. They need to be isolated and studied so it can be ...

Merry Christmas!!! It’s Christmas in August today. Time for presents, food, some partying and a gay old time. Well not gay as in the love between two men but gay as in carefree fun with no worries in the world. (I wish people used the word gay in that sense more. Stuff like, “Go have a gay time,” or “That was a really gay event,” or “My friends and I went swimming and had a gay time with ...

Here are some quick thoughts from the sports weekend that was and from the trip with Beanie Brother and Beanie Sister to NYC/New Jersey.
… Padraigh Harrington is the biggest fan of Tiger Woods’ knee.
… How come no one talks about or respects Paddy? He’s won the last two majors and I bet no one picks him to win the Master’s next year. Is it because his name is Paddy?

Lots to get to today so let’s dive right into it.
> Brett Favre is a Jet . Does anyone outside of NYC/Green Bay care?
> The Browns first preseason game is tonight. Cleveland takes on (how funny is this to say) Brett Favre’s New York Jets. (Side note: I even knew what I was suppose to type and I still starting typing Green Bay.) I don’t know how much of the game, if any, I’ll catch ...
The Olympics start Friday.
What do you think about that?
I really don’t know if I should be excited or annoyed on indifferent. In theory, he Olympics are the biggest sporting event in the world. It happens only every four years, all the countries in the world participate, thousands of athletes have a chance to become household names and strike it rich and patriotism rings supreme. ...

Again, today, we are going to talk about something that has been bothering me. It isn’t as important, or routine changing, or essential as our toilet paper discussion from a few weeks ago (although one could argue this leads to many-a-encounters with the toilet) but it’s still something that needs addressed.
While the toilet paper issue affects us no matter where we go, this concern ...

What a waste it all has been. All the news breaks, the constant bottom line updates, and the lead stories on SportsCenter. All the arguments on PTI and around the horn; also meaningless. And how about all those four person reporting staffs, all covering the same story from the same place. Yep, those were a waste too and I think I feel sorry for them the most. It all has been for nothing. In ...

We’ve all seen them. The fans that are a little too into the game or their team, or both. The guy who wears full team uniform to the games. The guy who wears a crazy combination of team colors and brings a big dog bone to a crappy bar to watch a preseason game by himself. The guy who yells at the refs/coaches/players from the top row and thinks they can hear him. The guy gets the official ...

I haven’t decided if today is a good day, or a bad day. Let’s list the good and the bad and then we can all decided together.
Good - Today is the first day of high school football practice so I’ll be out of the office most of the day going to some of the practices.
Bad - It’s still just high school football and it makes me wish I was covering real football.
Good - The Indians scored 12 ...

July is just about over. The dog days of summer or coming to an end and fall baseball is right around the corner. Fall baseball means pennant races and intense divisional match-ups. The Cleveland Indians are in the middle of one of those divisional match-ups this week. The Detroit Tigers and the Tribe have split the first two games of their pivotal four-game series. The next two games will ...

Today is going to be a Grab Bag Day on things that have been bothering me.
> I’m pissed off at ESPN’s Bottomline. You know a story is overplayed when it has it’s own category on ESPN’s bottomline. The Favre saga has reached that point. Not only is “FAVRE” on the bottom line with “NFL” “AL” and “NL” but it usually is on the screen longer than any of them. It seems to run a ...

Welcome back J Beanie.
Thanks.
I know you all have missed me in the two days I didn’t post. I need your help in catching up on everything I missed. I didn’t really watch too much sports since I sat around the pool all day was out all night. I did try to catch some SportsCenter but not that much. So please inform me of what I missed.
Because I didn’t watch too much sports, whether you ...

Football season is finally here. It couldn’t have come too soon since, as it’s been well documented here at J Beanie, the summer has sucked as for as entertaining sports go.
The Cleveland Browns open training camp today. In past years this was a great day simply because it mark the start of football season. It also marked the start of a Browns season where everyone was ...

Today is going to be a grab bag of grab bags. Don’t understand? It’s going to be a post of random thoughts and short stories but it won’t follow the normal Grab Bag Day format. It will be more completely random and may or may not have anything to do with sports.
First, I have my first two submissions for the Creep Off. I’ll let the teller of the tale tell his tale.
“A group of us ...
