What We Learned About Cleveland Sports This Week

Another wild week in Cleveland sports. In the last week we saw:

• Eric Wedge got his walking papers with only days remaining in the season. I had heard of lame duck presidents before but a lame duck Major League manager was a new one for me.
• Delonte West of the Cavaliers missed the first two days of practice. On media day he was upbeat and stated he wanted to focus. The next two days he was AWOL. I think Dan Gilbert should get Dr. Phil to do a show on the troubled shooting guard. Imagine the ratings that would get in Cleveland.
• The Browns actually looked like a football team on Sunday, and if you look at the individual statistics you wonder how they actually lost the game to the Bengals. With Derek Anderson's play on Sunday I am wondering if Brady Quinn has bigger nightmares of when he was outhshined in the Insight Bowl during a blowout loss to Anderson in 34-21 trouncing, or if he has harder feelings that he cost the former Notre Dame star about $12 Million dollars when he proved he is a better quarterback for the Brown and Orange.
• Shin-Soo Choo managed join the 20-20 club. He is the first person from Asia to mange to hit 20 home runs and steal 30 bases in a season. Choo, who batted an even .300 this season, only made $420,000 this year which probably was one of the best bargains in all of MLB. It is time for Marc Shapiro to get the Dolan's to open up their wallet and sign this budding superstar to a long term deal.
• If a quarterback controversy and a starring player on an NBA franchise vying for a championship going AWOL wasn't enough to whet your appetite for Cleveland sports dysfunction, yesterday's incident may have been the craving you were looking for. After dropping at least two passes in the loss to the Bengals, Braylon Edwards spent the night partying it up at a nightclub. His personal foul penalty for illegal roughness earlier in the day must of been a sign of things to come as Edwards reportedly threw a punch at a 130 pound man who is friends with LeBron James. James later told reporters that number 17 has had a case of jealousy towards the Akron native for years. Braylon, grow up already and you should probably be reading up on how to actually catch the ball in your spare time instead of shaking your groove thing.
