A Note To Our Readers
January 19th, 2008
By: CRS Staff
It’s 2008. In the past twelve months our
city’s sports teams nearly reached the pinnacle of their respective leagues. For
King James and the Cavaliers, this meant reaching the NBA Finals for the first-time in franchise history. For the Indians, this meant being the only team to not only take a playoff game from the World Champion
Red Sox, but push them to the bring of elimination in the ALCS. For the Browns,
hell, this meant they waited until the last few weeks of the season before eventually screwing things up (some things never
change). Our young teams are clearly at the precipice of domination, and it won’t
be long before victory parades down Euclid Avenue become an annual, if not semi-annual event. For these reasons, there is no longer a need for a web site dedicated to the woeful
Cleveland sports scene…
Yeah right! This is STILL Cleveland! That said, we realized a funny thing
in 2007. Maybe we’re not the only city that deals with sports-related heartbreak. Maybe other fans take it on the chin year after year.
Maybe other NFL teams have wasted an entire decade of #1 picks on guys like William Green and Gerard Warren. The point is, players from other cities do stupid stuff too. Atlanta
has Michael Vick, New York has Isiah (the bad GM, not the Prophet), and the 2007 Cincinnati Bengals played about as well as
the best team a Bail Bondsman could buy. Things go so weird late last year that
someone even used the words ‘rebuilding’ and ‘Yankees’ in the same sentence! With clearly so much ridiculousness going on in the world of sports outside of Cuyahoga County, we figured it was finally
high time to extend our coverage to all sports teams. Today is the first edition
of our national reach.
Oh and don’t worry, we haven’t turned a blind eye on Cleveland teams. We’ll still be there
the next time somebody from Cleveland fumbles on the goal line at the worst possible time, or gives up a 98-yard drive, blows
a save in the 9th inning of a Game 7, or…….well, you get my point.
All Cleveland team articles can still be found by their
own navigation links to the left. Enjoy, and relish the fact we are finally NOT
the worst sports city around these days (that would be Chicago, where only the lovable-loser Cubbies have been above .500
among the city’s sports teams of late…woo hoo Windy City!).
