I have been a Cleveland Browns Fan for as long as I can remember. As a 4 year old I remember Crying after Ernest Byner fumbled at the one in the 87 AFC Championship game. I remember having chest and stomach pains during football season and during Browns games. I remember being upset in 1995 when Art Modell picked up and moved them in the middle of the season. I remember being gassed when they returned in 1999 having a 99 Browns jersey. Thinking Tim Couch was gonna lead them to the promise land. Then reality struck now here we are 10 years 5 Head Coaches 4 General Managers 13 Starting Quarterbacks later and they STILL suck. I ask myself everyday why am I rooting for this team year in and year out? Why am I living and dying on a team who palys like garbage. I was a die hard fan of the Browns until today. They traded their best offensive threat out of town.
Kellen Winslow Jr was my favorite Cleveland Brown. Why you ask? not because I was on the Cover of the Plain Dealer with him on July 26 2006 laughing (although that is part of it). He was a warrior, a gladiator a soldier on the football field. Yeah his attitude was shitty but that how the Miami Hurricanes get down. The have attitude that they rule the world and the NFL and who could argue with that? They have a top player at damn near every position on the field. Ed Reed is the best defensive PLAYER in the NFL Ray Lewis altohgh up there in age is STILL feared by everyone. I could go on but you all have eyes and can see that the NFL is littered with players from The U. Back to my point K2 was productive in his time as a Brown, he actually WANTED to play in Cleveland. Who actually wants to play and live in this city anymore? He was one of the few who wanted to be here. He was productive if he was healthy or not. 219 catches 2,4589 yards and 11TDs is great for a guy who played the way he did.
I blogged a few months ago that K2 would not be in Cleveland in 09. I believed it but i didn't believe it and now that it has happened I'm pissed off. Look at what he's been through. The hold out in his rookie year, him breaking his leg covering an onside kick (thanks Butch), the motorcycle crash (thanks Star Boys), the staph infections (thanks Cleveland Clinic, Phil Savage, and the dude who sent him the text telling him to cover it up) that occured on more than one occasion. I really hope he goes on to have a Hall Of Fame career so dumb ass Browns fans can say "why did they trade him?" those are the ones today saying "good i hated him anyway". The Browns and Bucs play in 2011 in Tampa and I HOPE K2 is healthy and he has the game of his career against the Browns.
Right now me and the Browns are separated. (shout out to Tony Rizzo) I'm actuall thinking about finding a new team to root for. I am like 10 seconds away from filing for fan free agency. Why should I sink myself in this team again? With the ManGENIUS and Kokiena running the show. So I'm gonna approach this like I don't care. I Now announce myself just a casual NFL fan. For now. I'm not jumping off the bandwagon but I have one foot on and one foot off. I'm just soooooooo upset right now that i don't know what else to do.
This is my blog everybody read it and weep. This blog will contain a little bit of everything sports entertainment politics (well not so much politics) and pretty much what ever i feel like blogging about. Everybody please enjoy.

Cleveland Radio Ain't What It Use To Be
There was a time when listening to the radio in Cleveland was actually enjoyable. You had stations that everyone would listen to and talk about like WZAK, WJMO, WERE, WWWE, WMMS and WHK. You had your legendary jocks and shows too. There too many fro me to name. Shit was all good back in the day. Now shit is bad, all bad when I turn on my radio at home I listen for like 2 minutes and I'm totally turned off. Shit sucks man. Everything is fucking sindicated. Every morning show os broadcast from New York City and they suck eggs. A bunch of corny ass stereotypical white boys with fake corny names like Spaz (ain't that corny?) that do corny skits. The few morning shows that were here those guys left. I never listened to them so I don't miss them. Even the black shows are stereotypical.
The sports talk stations are even worse. They are too scared to speak the truth. Plus I thought the local sports guys actuall had to be local sports guys. Not these fucking transplants who come into Cleveland and actually try to dog on my city. Nah fuck that. Some shit just shouldn't be. You got a new breed coming up ( I lump myself into the new breed) that ain't scared to be themselves. Not afraid to keep it real. But you got these tweprs who get it all handed to them while me and this new breed struggle. Can Sonebody PLEASE get this trash off the radio.
Thats why my shows are gonna be just strait talk and interviews NO PHONE CALLS. I hate you people who call into these shows 15 times a week thinking you can do what these guys get paid millions to do. This is just the way I feel ya'll. Put me side by side with the mopes on air right now and I guarentee I will shut them down word to Joe Namath. These dudes can't touch me. Being born and raised in Cleveland I'm embarassed. I'm Cleveland to the heart I bleed this city and it hurts listening to this local garbage. With the exception of Mike Trivisono and Kenny Roda ( who' s from Pittsburgh but I like him) Shit needs to be scrapped.

Does Anyone Care About The Cavs??????
I wanted so bad to fall back on dogging the fans in this town but Jay Z said it "when I try to pull out you pull me right back in". Now our Cleveland Cavs are 44-11. They won by 15 last night and by 21 over the team that has dominated the Central division for the entire decade. Theyt are 26-1 at home, and their magic number to clinch the Central Division for the first time since the Miracle At Richfield year of 1976 is 11. But all this town wants to talk about is the damn Cleveland Browns.
It's to a point where it's aggravating, you have one team playing and playing great (Cavs), one team season about to start (Indians open up Cactus Leauge today) and the other coming off of a losing season where they fired their Head Coach (do I even need to say who?) Why gas yourself about the sorry ass Browns only to be let down in week 6 or whenever their bye week is? Why not sho wthe same passion and energy for the first place Cleveland Cavs? If LeBron leaves in 2010 (which he isn't) the Q will empty out because the Cavs will be losers. Which means Dan Gilbert may move the team. But will you all go down to congress and cry about it? NOPE because you people would rather the browns go 8-8 than see LeBron raise the Davey O'Brien trophy. You may not like what I'm saying but its the truth. Think I'm wrong PROVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cowher09.com Are You Kidding Me?????????
This one is another old blog entry about that wack ass cowher09.com site and it turns out I was right on the money with this one.
You all should know me by now, my views and opinions especially on the fans of our great city. Usually i don't go off giving people free promotion but this site has been getting burn everywhere else so here goes. To the people who started Cowher09.com I have a question Are you kidding me? Are you out of your rabbit mind? What do you think you are gonna accomplish by doing this? Nothing my friend. Ok so you get 73,000 signatures then what are you going to do? Walk up to Randy Lerners office and DEMAND him to take a look at Bill Cowher? HA don't make me laugh. Fist of all you don't demand a billionaire to do anything. Do you think the Lerner family got to where they got today by listening to people who DEMAND them to do anything? Don't think so.
I'm just puzzled by some of you fans. I've come to meet some fans who I can have an intelligent conversation with. Then there are the idiot fans who get drunk and try to watch and talk football. Do me a favor stick to beer pong and cornhole because football is not you. What is the point for this site brother? To get some shine to make some money? I know the economy is dow and we are in a recession but WOW. There are other things you could've done. Bars are always hiring, so is Wal-Mart and Home Depot. Fans have stooped to a whole notha' level (thats slang for you slow people). Just breezing through this site makes my face hurt looking at what some people are saying. "People are paying 75 dollars to go to the game and they don't have jobs they deserve better" WHAT??? Why are you spending 75 dollars to go to a game and you are unemployed? When you can just do what other unemployed people do STAY HOME!!!!!!!! They don't deserve anything but a kick in the rear end. You would rather go to a football game than feed your family you don't deserve a darn thing get a grip fans. Soul To Soul had a song once and it says and i quote "back to life back to reality". Take heed to that fans RANDY LERNER DOESN"T CARE WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I have to say is you may get the signatures but getting to Randy Lerner, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA don't make me laugh buddy.

Cleveland Sports FAn Get With The Program!!!!!!!!!
This is an old post from an old blog that I decided to put on here.
Disclaimer: Anyone who is sensitive should stop reading right now. Because you are not going to lie what i have to say.
At 25 years old I'm old enough to know better but I'm young enough not to care. Being a Cleveland sports fan has been quite an experience for me. Drives and fumbles and shots. (oh my!!!!). I remember crying as a kid when Byner fumbled at the 1. I recall watching M.J. (Jordan) hang in the air as Craig Ehlo fall hopelessly to the ground. I also recall Edgar Renteria's little flubber in the 97 World Series. But you know what Cleveland sports fan? IT HAPPENED NOW GET OVER IT!!!!
For far too long you have been living in the past and are always looking for the worst to happen. Thus developing a losers mentality. Pessimism is the worse kind of attitude to have. As grown ups if you have that attitude you know what? You have loser kids who have loser kids that have pessimistic attitudes and loser mentalities. Pretty soon we have a city full of losers. TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT!!!!!!!!! This city used to be proud, what happened? We are lucky to have pro sports teams. Ok so they may lose, but like Manny Ramirez said "its not the end of the world". If your life depends on whether the Browns, Cavs and Indians win or lose, YOU MY FRIEND ARE PATHETIC.
Back to my point of living in the past. Its been that way forever. Browns fans are expecting to see Paul Brown on the sidelines, HE'S NOT HERE!!! He hasn't coached this team in 45 years. Jim Brown hasn't run the ball since 65, The Kardiac Kids have grown up, and Kosar and company have moved on, SO SHOULD YOU ALL. Why can't the new Browns get this kind of love? They went 10 and 6 last season so why are they getting penalized by fans saying the schedule was easy. They played who was in front of them it's not their fault. 10 wins is 10 wins! PESSIMISM. If this was the Browns of the 80's you would be dancing in the streets. Why isn't there a Derek Derek song? I bet a Brady Brady song will be out whenever he takes over the starting spot.
In closing I just want to say get behind the teams and stay behind them. Stop complaining and going back the next week. Browns fans stop making dry threats about not going to the games and on Sunday's you in the muny lot grilling brats. Don't like what they are doing fine stay home. Matter of fact give away your ticket and don't ever go back. There are plenty of people (including me) that would love to go. I am sick of hearing the whining then seeing 78,000 butts in the seats. GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!!! and remember IT'S JUST A GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Fakeness Of The Industry
This is me in rare Don P Form. As you all know I am no longer on the air. I have been replaced by two dudes who are absolutely wack. They sound like every other garbage Morning Show outfit out there. Two guys who fit the mold of every P.D. out there. Fake ass wannabe Howard Stern, fart joking, wannabe manly, maricon muthafuckas. Please somebody give me a break. Word to Nell Carted (G.B.T.D.) If radio continues to let this shit slide then people like me will be forever regulated as the behind the scenes guy. I was told that a potential advertiser heard me one morning on one of my tirades and he wanted no part of us. It was because of my "delivery" is what I was told yeah fucking right. I'm not stupid. Homeboy didn't want to put his money behind a brotha that is gonna keep it real.
Why do blacks have to dumb ourselves down to be accepted? Why can't we be ourselves? Why do we have to be the "safe brotha"? Its so bad that I'm in an industry that isn't built for me. Yup I said it the broadcasting industry isn't built for black people to be behind the mic unless it's an urban station. The brothats that have made it into the non urban stations are the "safe brothas" not cats like me.
I'm only keeping it real saying exactly what's on my mind. I wanna talk sports MY WAY!!!! Fuck these privileged ass white boys who get a pass because their dads were legends. I wanna throw my lil slang in it. Not be politically correct and let out a fucking fart joke. That's why I'm taking a step back from this shit. I don't wanna be into something where I have to be phony. Lupe Fiasco said it best, "once you dumb it down it just makes it harder to understand". I'll leave ya'll with one final quote from Lupe. "they told me i should come down cousin/ but I flatly disagree I ain't dumbing down nuthing".
Translation: Either accept me as I am or FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
