Kinda reminds me when us Browns fans got Hillis on the cover of Madden... only without the nationwide scandal involving PSU and Sandusky. That being said, if they win the vote it'd be incredibly disingenuous to deny the cover to PSU. If PSU does win I wonder if they'll consider donating a portion from the game to victims of molestation or something though.
I don't know what happened with Hillis and management and all, but he did not handle whatever the situation was well. Cleveland fans are the only reason he made it on the cover of Madden... unfortunately I think it fed his ego a little too much. Oh well, thanks to him we have TRich now, I'll deal.
I hope he sticks around. I don't think he got a fair shot to show what he could do with the team and he has shown nothing but class. Even if Weeden comes in and is a solid starting QB, NFL teams need a good backup and I think McCoy definitely fits that bill.
It's professional sports and the NBA, I just never assume in that thing called "loyalty". I'm a Cavs fan and I am long past caring LeBron left; just not worth caring about players to any great extent because they don't care about whatever city they play in beyond the paycheck.... generally.
I really hope McCoy gets a fair chance to earn the spot. He has shown nothing but class in situations where it would be easier to come out and ask for a trade and I respect him for that. If Weeden wins the spot straight up then ok, but I hate to think Colt is being hamstrung to an extent.
Perez is right but the issue is indicative of what's wrong with sports. I grew up during the 90's when the Indians were rockin' it and it was a blast to go to a game where you knew the team that was putting a solid product on the field. They had a good season last year and they are playing good ball this year (props to Acta), so I would hope more people would hit up the game. That being said, it takes a toll on a fan in Cleveland to not be able to recognize half the people who are in the game, probably recognize half of the other team for being with the Tribe at one point or another, while sitting back enjoying a $8 hot dog and a $8 beer. I hope the organization can find a way to promote itself and I hope the people of Cleveland come out to Jacob's Field again (see what I did there?).
BTW, I was at opening day for 16 freezing innings because Perez blew it, I don't have much sympathy for him.
Considering outside of maybe Phil Dawson Cribbs does more than anyone else on their team it would still be within the Brown's interest to keep him if it's reasonable.
Colt has been a true professional through this when I have a hard time believing a number of other QBs would throw a **** fit. I hope McCoy is successful and is able to hold onto his starting job and be productive with the Browns... eventually they have to have a decent team right? Is it football season yet?!
The Indians really shouldn't have ever let Omar go. I grew up watching him play with the Indians in the 90's and will always remember how special of a fielder he was, especially for the years he was paired with Roberto in the middle of the infield.
Evidence the human body is not supposed to be stretched to 7'... I really wish he'd be able to be healthy and have any career in the NBA. I enjoyed watching him when he played at OSU, but since then his legs have just absolutely failed him.
Go go from SoCal to the 330 (Akron) would be a rather depressing move, but if he can get Akron to to win a few that'd be refreshing... I'm pretty confident UA's Men's Soccer team would beat the football team at football.
