100 Wins for the Tribe
March 27, 2010While We’re Waiting: New Browns Jerseys, Wall v. Turner, Fred Nance, and the Cavs without LeBron
March 28, 2010The other day I was reading one of Scott’s pieces about Z’s return over at the FSOhio contest, and made a comment about how refreshing Andy’s enthusiasm was in regards to Z returning. There was a follow-up comment that said “Isn’t Andy’s enthusiasm always off the charts?”.
The short answer: no.
The more enjoyable answer: it is, at times, ON the charts. But to be on charts, you must see the charts. So, here are some instances from Andy’s career, and their status on said charts (complete with charts). Charts.
Andy gets elbowed in his man-parts by Jesus Shuttlesworth:
Hitting that three that one time to win that one game!
Getting stared at by Large Infant Davis (H/T @jose3030)
Snuggie Night photoshoot modeling.
Thinking about the Orange Roundie.
Playing for his home country of Brazil!
Having a sweet T-shirt with him on it!
FINALLY – ANDERSON VAREJAO WITH A BIG BUFORD, JUST FOR YOU LUKE:
So there you go – sometimes, Andy’s enthusiasm is actually chartable. Other times, he’s OFF THE CHARTS.

If there is one thing WFNY could use more of, it’s charts. Love the article Denny.
Who doesn’t love finding candles ?
There’s no picture of his t-shirt. I would be happy to take a picture of myself in said shirt and email it in to the site…
P.S. I would rate myself as somewhere between “Hungry” and “Full-On Enthused” everytime I wear that shirt. Now if I were to wear that shirt under my Cavs snuggie with the wig and happen to come across a candle while doing the Lebron chalk toss…
…sorry, I’ve been at work since 7am and I am full on delirious…
Thank you for this, I raffed very hard. I think my hangover is going away due to the awesomeness of this article.
more charts please!
I wish Andy Varejao would serve me a Rally’s burger.
Great stuff Denny. I still think Andy shares a mad resemblance w/ Brendan Frasier in Encino Man
I imagine that winning FIBA gold is on the opposite side of the chart than being questionable for tomorrows game.
Excellent stuff.
I wasn’t a big Varejao fan before this season and when he got his new contract I thought he was overpaid but Andy has won me over. Other then #23 Anderson is the only other Cavalier who brings it game in and game out. Despite lesser overall skill #17s heart and desire trumps the athletic superiority of teammates like Mo Williams and Delonte West. If Mo and Delonte had their heads on half as well as Andy the Cavaliers would be right there with the Lakers unfortunately they don’t. Delonte has diagnosed problems but I’m not sure about Mo.
Andy Varejao’s Enthusiasm after Boogeyman’s Comment:
Sorry I don’t know Brazilian!
How’s your Portuguese?
let’s not forget iconic/revolutionary andy: http://www.wpclipart.com/famous/Che_Guevara_01.png
oh my god this was amazing
“If Mo and Delonte had their heads on half as well as Andy the Cavaliers would be right there with the Lakers”
From Boogeyman, the new Isis.
@15 Oh and I suppose I’m wrong and the Cavaliers backcourt hasn’t been an area of weakness? Forget Isis I’ll settle for being yo daddy!
I hate to be cliche, but ROFLMAO
Denny officially best read on WFNY. Articles like this raise the bar for everyone who blogs.
5KMD Mo Williams 5 pts against Sacramento today meanwhile Beno Udrih had 18 pts, 10 reb and 15 ast – I rest my case!
Boogey,
I had more of an issue about you implying the Cavs aren’t “right there with the lakers”
I suppose the 3 game lead in record while holding the tiebreak means absolutely nothing to you.
So the lakers have a better backcourt. the Cavs have a better all around team and better star player so what’s the point. Your case is definitely not resting as far as I’m concerned.
Denny – have my baby.
ben, I’m pretty sure the genetics and required chromosomes wouldn’t allow for that. And I’m not a catcher. Also, I don’t have a uterus.
If you’re asking me to do things to your lady-friend, I’ll need visual confirmation that I’d be willing to do such a thing prior to baby-having.
“I rest my case!”

[…] The Chevron: Some might say that Anderson Varejao’s enthusiasm is off the charts. This is clearly false, as there are clearly times when it is on the chart. The Andy Varejao Enthusiasm Chart, that is. [Waiting for Next Year] […]
Wow, Looks like you wasted alot of time. I really don’t get it. What player does not get fatigued? Andy puts up excellent numbers for his minutes and is always an annoying defender.
[…] for Next Year with a Varejao Enthusiasm Meter. They forgot “Andy Putback Dunk over Chris Bosh” David Wesley’s enthusiasm […]
