I can never remember if he was actually awesome, or I just remember that he was because of the whole “Punching Pierzynski in the face” thing.

Yeah, it’s just tempting because that’s what it is on the (incorrect) surface level. I totally get it.
See, it may take a good year to get me really into a local team, but once there, I’m there for good. In this case, it’s really just me getting into basketball as a whole.
Actually I may be lying… I’m giving up on the Browns. It’s impossible to like a team this poorly run and dysfunctional.

I hadn’t watched a full NBA game on television before Lebron probably since the early 90s. If that makes me a frontrunner, then so be it. But it’s a lot of fun to watch these Cavs, and I don’t think that watching the NBA is generally “fun,” unlike college basketball.

Likewise. I have a really hard time getting into the NBA. Not the Cavs fault, I used to be the only person in Cleveland that went to 20+ games a year
I like the Cavs, but I’d prefer the Indians or Browns to break the curse.
by SuddenSam on Apr 12, 2009 3:58 PM EDT up reply actions 2 recs
I love them all, but I would definitely prefer to see the Indians or Browns break it as well. Although I think if the Cavs won a title I’d still break down in tears.
I’d be very happy. I mean, I can’t say I am totally disinterested. The game Lebron had against the Pistons 2 years ago was the greatest thing I have ever seen
Best sports game I’ve ever seen.

I’ve never been able to regain my love for the Browns after the move. I haven’t watched an NFL game since.
I regained part of it. I’ve just voluntarily given up a chunk of it recently.

Partly time. More because it just lost its fun for me. I realized that my sports life only has so much room and the Tribe and Cavs are more important to me.

Bunnies have lots of little bunnies. Eggs are full of babies. It’s left over from old school pre-Christian fertility celebrations this time of year.
Pagan celebrations were a great marketing tool.
