Did the Cavaliers have to trade Kyrie Irving?
January 25, 2018Tribe Trade Options, Brewers Outfield Edition
January 26, 2018Good Friday everyone. I wanted to share something I’ve thought about doing recently and finally tried this week: the WFNY Podcast Clip Show. The video is above and every time I hear something interesting to Cleveland sports fans, I grab the clip and save it on my phone. At the end of the week (two weeks?) I cut it all together, add some commentary, and post the good stuff. I listen to a lot of podcasts and I know not everyone drives around as much as I do or otherwise takes in as many podcasts as I do, so I figure it’s kind of a service. Anyway, hope you enjoy. Give me some feedback. I’ll try to keep working the bugs out.
We were featured in Cleveland Magazine
A couple weeks ago we were honored to be contacted to do a short interview about the WFNY Podcast by Cleveland Magazine. That issue is out now, and we were featured along with five other podcasts on page 20. It’s cool to be recognized in any way, and Cleveland Magazine is well-read enough that I started getting feedback before dinner time on Thursday. Really cool. Check it out.
Andrew and Craig talk Cleveland Browns on the WFNY Podcast
Speaking of the podcast, I had a chance to talk to Andrew this week about both the Cavaliers and the Browns. The Browns podcast dropped this morning at 6 am. In case you’re not subscribed on iTunes…
Andrew and Craig are back talking about the Cleveland Browns. Will DeShone Kizer ever win a game as Cleveland Browns starter?
- The 0-16 Cleveland Browns turning it around on a dime
- It’s ok to feel good about the Browns for a minute
- Sashi Brown and the position he was in
- Joe Haden and Joe Thomas talking about him
- Are the Browns ready to make a leap?
- The Browns adding a pro-level quarterback?
- How important is the quarterback? Ask Aaron Rodgers, Jimmy Garoppolo.
- The Browns offense turning around year over year
- Being high on the Browns and hating the Cavaliers? Weird.
- The Lions going 0-16 gave them Matthew Stafford
- The NFL draft and knowing what we don’t know
- Justin Gilbert, Trent Richardson and the inexact science of drafting
- Will DeShone Kizer ever start and win a game for the Cleveland Browns?

days until the 2018 NFL Draft.
Westbrook was all butthurt because he thought he was the last pick in the NBA All-Star Draft.
I KNEW they should have televised that.
Those guys are almost as onion-skinned as baseball players.
Congrats on the recognition, WFNY gang. Over the years I’ve met a surprising number of people who follow the site regularly or periodically, even though they’re not part of the crazed commentariat.
Haven’t done this in a while, but since it’s Friday and my work week has left me a little crispy, thought I’d stop to share some reading recommendations. Both are old but look, you catch up when you can:
– Alexander Hamilton, by Ron Chernow: wow wow wow. This is the biography upon which the musical is based. I don’t really do musicals so I went vertical, to the source. Chernow has won a Pulitzer and has a recent acclaimed work on Grant, but this thing is just the cheese. Runs 700 plus pages, about twice my tolerance level, but start it and you’re sucked into a most remarkable and prodigious life of maybe the most talented figure this country (and St Croix) ever produced. Chernow has an absorbing style and avoids theories based upon whimsical conjecture, a pet peeve. He uses straight source material (one footnote interprets a 250 year old original municipal document, depending on how to decipher the missing, mouse-eaten word). He details Hamilton as both a visionary of America’s future and a master of detailed minutae to implement a system for which there was no true existing model. You won’t ever view the Revolution or current politics the same way.
– Kitchen Confidential, by Anthony Bourdain: just a fun, easy snarky read, especially for those of us who did our time as servers, busboys, cooks and bartenders. I find Bourdain’s tone in his food shows a little precious and grating after a while but this book was his coming out party and it reads self-effacing, vivid and true.
days until free agency begins https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1d1da53b13b8ac0ae401a562a6d195bc218c55da0d8f3ba2fdf08bda74293096.jpg
the Browns made us this way … personally , I wouldn’t have it any other way … the upcoming success will taste even sweeter. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/36689bbe5829a9ff17852e5d9e0a221d140343aa053e6b42c1353510402ab748.gif

Seconded on both choices. And may I add The Forever War by Joe Haldeman to the recommendations. If you like your stories of futuristic intergalactic space war with a side of politics and social commentary, you’ll enjoy this one.
isn’t that old sci fi? Never been into that tyoe of stuff but if you’re saying it holds up well I’ll try to check it out. I’ve been trying to be fair and open-minded and distinguish a genre from its most extreme adherents.
It really does. It was inspired by the US involvement in Vietnam, and given that war’s lasting effects on both the military and the American public, it holds up well to the passage of time. And coming in comfortably under 300 pages, it’s certainly not a time suck.
