Sports Bio

The most memorable game ever was the great bottle gate scandal at Cleveland Browns Stadium, my best friend Donnie and I were in the second level of the dawg pound for that one. Now I can add watching the human snow delay, Mike Hardgrove, in person at the 2007 Indians home opener. He only did his job, but between him and the ump they screwed the tribe, the fans, and Paul Byrd. BTW it was 15 degrees with the wind chill! Must be something about Cleveland sports, we seem to get the short end of the stick. We finally didn't get the short end of it though in game 2 of the 2007 ALDS vs. the Yankees. Fausto Carmona pitched a 9 inning gem, and Hafner hit a 2 out RBI in the 11th for a 2 - 1 win. The midges were all over the place for a couple of innings but the Tribe didn't show any effects from them like the Yanks did.

Favorite teams are the Browns, Indians, St.L. Cards., Raiders, but most of all we can not tolerate a loss in the last regular season NCAA DIV 1 Football Game to "That team from up north" as Woody would call them. Go Bucs!

My best friend Donnie and I attended the Indians 2006 home opener this year. It was awesome, Casey Blake hit a grand slam, Travis Hafner hit two other home runs. Definately one to remember. Tack on the 2008 opener also. I am not sure what year we started going to the opener together, I believe it was 1998, or 1999. but I have only missed one so far, and that was due to injury.

I have also seen many Bucs games at "the shoe" thanks to Mike Mackan, our Medical director for the paramedic program I help teach at. The only big ten team I haven't seen live is Michigan. There is nothing like a football game at "the shoe" It gets so loud, and energetic you can feel it come right up through the floor, through your feet, and into you.

The dumbest football fines ever!: Some of these are pretty funny. While others make you wonder, just how much time does the league actually have on it's hands?

The answer to the only obvious question is.: The man has two ex-wives, eleven children (thats right 11), and the IRS to take care of. However, those could be the least of his concerns.

The Hoser's NFL Pick 2009, Week 11

Cleveland against Detroit should be an awe-inspiring game, though possibly not for the right reasons.

Mr. Bismarck don't you mean a nap inspiring game! YYM, everybody around here is saying "they may suck , but god let them be better than the Lions". I wonder what the over/under is on turnovers?

Stephanie Spielman Dies of Cancer

Very ironic rcade, the groups like Mrs. Spielman's are really fighting the new recommendation. I don't blame them, I saw an interview on our local news with a doctor from the Cleveland Clinic, she said the experts that developed the new guidelines were not even doctors. This is a very real reminder of why those should not be adopted.

RIP Mrs. Spielman.

Supreme Court Refuses to Take Redskins Case

At least there is one government entity who is staying out of pro sports. Even though this is the one they probably should do something about IMO.

While he may be doing it for the reason he says, you can't tell me the money doesn't help this decision.

German MNT keeper Enke in apparent suicide

Enke had been getting treatment since 2003. Or are you suggesting that all depression is treatable and curable? If you are, you're one step short of telling us all to just pull our socks up and get on with it, which isn't overly helpful.

Suicide is a potential consequence of untreated depression just as death is a potential consequence of untreated cancer.

Not saying that at all JJ, not everything is curable. Some forms of cancer are not death sentences if treated, all depression does not end in suicide treated or not. Untreated it is more likely to lead to that endind. I know it says he had been treated since 2003, but his wife also says this in the article, "He didn't want to accept help any more." Thats all I'm saying.

This statement is missing one word, untreated.

German MNT keeper Enke in apparent suicide

Thank you for pointing that out rcade. I was just reading this and thinking about all of the shoe leather that will be eaten once everyone realizes they didn't read Drood's entire post very well. I sure hope no one chokes on it.

I think it is safe to say that just about all of us have been depressed about something at one point or another. The problem becomes much worse when you can not break the cycle of depression. Then it becomes a chronic problem, where you can't sleep or eat, you don't want to go out anywhere. You start to alienate yourself from family and friends. Once you feel all alone, sometimes it feels like the only thing to do.

Glad you are ok and here with us today Drood.

Cal Running Back Hurt on Touchdown Flight

If thats the case that team doc/trainer should be shown the door with a foot attached to his ***. Arms going rigid like that is called posturing, they either push out like this case or curl in to the chest. Posturing means the brain has experienced some trauma. I don't remember which one is the worst though, either way it is not a good thing to have happen. If Best plays again this regular season, I'll be surprised.

NFL's Dirtiest Player: Hines Ward

people just think I'm biased.

Amen tahoe, every Steeler fan should be forced to read, then re-read this. I am so tired of hearing how great Ward is. Plus when loud mouth Joey Porter was there, they thought he was a god. The big problem is 99.9% of them wouldn't even care.

Florida Linebacker Tried to Eye-Gouge Opponent

This just shows how much of an ass clown Urban Meyer is. He's always whining about something. Attempting to take the sight of another person is inexcusable, and should be punished more severely. I hope the NCAA does something about it. I doubt the SEC is going to punish one of its own, especially while they're first in the polls.

but what i found out was that on the previous play Ealey spit in his face, and all Spikes did was wipe off the spit and was trying to smear it on Ealey's face.

The statement you made is ridiculous! If he was just trying to wipe the spit back in his face and not poke his eye, his hand would not have been angled right up at his eyes. Watch it again, Spikes is in there so far his glove is falling off.

Yankees Take 2-1 Series Lead Behind A-Rod, Pettitte

I'm a bit surprised the Phillies are going with Blanton instead of Lee (even though I don't know how effective Lee has been on short rest in his career).

Dyams, I don't think I've ever seen Lee pitch on that short of a rest before. PLus his IP* this year is very high. Even despite those two things, I think you have to put him up against CC, especially down 2-1. Charlie Manuel didn't do it though, noiw they are going to have one hell of a go at it having to win 2 at New York.

*I think they said he is at 265 last night.

Manu Ginobili Makes Bat-sketball History

PETA my ass, put any of them in a room with one of those flying rats and they'll be calling for pest control themselves. Prior to blowing my back out, we would get these calls at the FD. We would corner the bat on the wall. One of us would stand under it with a pillow case, while the other sprayed it with a co2 extinguisher. They fall right in the pillow case, you take it outside and let it go. Those nasty things still make me itch when I think about it.

It was still a nice swing by ginobili.
