For the third time in a row, my Cleveland Cavaliers are the Eastern Conference Champions! They’ll face the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, also for the third time in a row: Game 5 against the Celtics was amazing (almost as amazing as Game 2 where they crushed Boston by 44!) and saw the Cavs …
Our morning started out early with a hike up the Echo Canyon Trail to the summit of Camelback Mountain, our annual tradition. It was great weather for the hike and we were in the shade most of the time. It only took us just over an hour to reach the top. After spending about 20 …
Tears. Cleveland is used to that, although for 52 years they’ve been salty. The sports history in that town is more than ready to welcome a new addition. From The Fumble to The Drive to The Shot, there is finally something to hug: The Championship. Unbelievable. For the first time in franchise history, the Cleveland Cavaliers …

Usually in May and June I’m watching baseball but this year was different because both my Tampa Bay Lightning and Cleveland Cavaliers were in their respective playoffs, both teams making it all the way to the finals.

Incredible! By beating #3 Syracuse 55-53 in third round of the 2014 NCAA tournament, my #11 Dayton Flyers are in the Sweet 16 for the first time in 30 years (in 1984 they made it to the Elite Eight)! They will face #10 Stanford on Thursday. GO FLYERS!!
My recent Florida vs. Ohio sports contests ended up in Ohio’s favor 2-1. It started two weeks ago when my hometown Indians lost to my current town Rays in the AL wildcard game. Yesterday we drove over to Orlando to see the Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Orlando Magic in pre-season play. The Cavs were …
It’s April Fools Day (which means there’s the typical slew of tech-related gag news stories) but it’s no joke that today is opening day for my Cleveland Indians and Tampa Bay Rays … a fresh start and a new season baseball. Ever better, the Tampa Bay Lightning secured a spot in the NHL playoffs with …

It took going into overtime, but almost two months after their last win (back on December 18 which also happened to be in overtime), the Cleveland Cavaliers finally won a game, beating the Los Angeles Clippers 126 – 119. The Cavs’ 26 losses in a row tied the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ record (back in 1977) …
According to Dan Gilbert’s open letter to the fans, the Cavs will be champions before LeBron. I’m not sure I believe that, but I do kinda agree with this part: “As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier. …
