Pineapple Tidbits
- If the Celtics can have a player named Gerald Green, then the Cavs need a player named Wynan Gold.
- The funniest thing in sports right now is Trent Dilfer's bitter, surly attitude about being benched in favor of rookie Chuck Frye. Not only has Touchdown(less) Trent not been able to move the ball this year, but he really has not moved the ball for any team at any other point of his career. Its like a bus driver filing a grievance for being fired after two accidents and three DUIs on the job.
- You know, I tore my ACL in my left knee in high school. Does this mean I am a potential first round draft pick for the Browns next year? I'm just asking, because I'm not really in football shape.
- Well, we asked for it and by golly the Indians delivered. We wanted a big-name free agent, and ladies and gentlemen I present you.......LOU MERLONI!! So who else has already pre-ordered their 2006 World Series Champions DVD?? (crickets..)
- If there was ever a time I wish I could be a fly on the wall, its when Indians GM Mark Shapiro approaches owner Larry "tightpockets" Dolan about a potential free agent signing.
Shapiro: Hey boss, we think we may have found the answer to our woes in right field.
Dolan: (aggitated) How much?
Shapiro: We are probably looking at $5 million per year.
Dolan: (abruptly) No
Shapiro: Sir, I think we should discuss thi..
Dolan: NO
Shapiro: Its just we are so close
Dolan: (pressing button on phone) SECURITY!
- Somebody posted something similar to this on a Cavs message board and got me thinking. Has an individual ever singlehandedly destroyed a single professional sports franchise as a player AND a general manager the way Danny Ferry seems to be doing? And yes, I'm referring to the Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Damon Jones signings.
- Listening to the extremely enthusiastic Cavaliers game announcer Ronnie Duncan, I now have a new fantasy. Just once, I'd love to hear him wail, "Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaay GUIDINGER!" You know, just for fun.
- Speaking of Guidinger, here's some audience participation. I would like all of you to email me your favorite "bad" athlete of all-time and why. For example, my friend Shnydes and I love Jay Guidinger because he was the Original White Stiff. He was the white stiff by which all future white stiffs are judged. Submissions can be posted here or sent to me, thanks!

Jonny......it is time to give up on the Indians...they will never win it all....Paul Byrd and the Tiger's ace that won 8 games last yr probably won't cut it.....well, at least we still have the 5'5" 305lbs intimidator that gets winded getting to the mound in the 9th, puts 3 guys on base before he catches his second wind and gets an out....anyways, moving on to better things.....Trent Dilfer has won a Super Bowl and has been a Pro Bowler....Z is soft but we all know that he gives the Cavs the best chance to win on a nightly basis...I wish someone would have told him where the weight room is 10 yrs ago when he got to Cleveland....not like he never had anytime in the past to do a couple sets of curls...what did he play?...7 games his first 4 and 1/2 seasons.....Jay Guidinger? help me out there....how about Brian Scallabrini...I believe that's his name...that guy just makes me want to turn the channel....a poor man version of that dude that would break on ankle to get a rebound while playing for the lakers...can't think of his name...now plays for minnesota I believe....
Keep posting this stuff...it's good...I'll try to respond when I get a chance.....
