Climbing the Ladder with the National League 7/20/2008

 Browns Owner, City Disrespected
Browns Owner, City Disrespected
I saw this over at Yahoo sports and was disappointed… It seems that Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports doesn’t have a high opinion of Browns owner Randy Lerner, or Cleveland for that matter. This isn’t about power rankings or preseason predictions, but rather a ranking of NFL owners. Lerner was ranked #20 in Silver’s article, but it was...

Juiced Sports Presents: The 2008 Home Run Derby Diary
Why you ask? Because of Josh Hamilton. That’s why. SCOTT JACOBS Alright, before we kick this thing off, let’s play Who Am I. Here we go. I lead the AL in home runs and play for the atrocious Cleveland Indians. Today on Around the Horn, my name was mispronounced. In 2002 I was part of the package the Indians received in exchange for Bartolo Colon. My name is Grady Sizemore
