Cleveland Cavs: Andrew Bynum

I, being a former season ticket holder of the Cavs and still regularly attend games at the Q, am very disgusted with the direction of the team and don't understand why we did this to our self. You may say what is this idiot talking about. Think about it! Byron Scott was a good coach and his Cavs were always competitive. We fire him, draft a trash bag that no one wants to take out, sign the tinman with no oil to put on his knees and oh boy, bring back a proven loser in Mike Brown. Enough said, right? I guess not cause nothing is being done from the main man with the checkbook. Now don't forget, the Cleveland Cavs are trying to recruit the best player in the world back home too. I wanted to believe that could possibly happen, but now all I can do is chuckle at the thought of LeBron James coming home. I really believe that the entire problem is Mike Brown. He never won the first time around in Cleveland and it was obvious the wins that he accumulated was because of one LBJ. There was turmoil in the locker room then. He gets fired!  Goes to the Lakers and everyone was scratching their heads in LA while we were all laughing cause we knew it would just be a matter of time before he lost control of that locker room and turmoil would set in and he would be fired.   Guess what, he got fired and little did Cav fans know, but we were soon to be the laughing stock of the league again cause we were going to hire back a loser.  And what do u know. We draft a bust!  Sign a big pair of cement sneakers. And the locker room has turned into complete turmoil. AGAIN! First it was Dion Waiters fighting in the locker room, Kyrie Irving regressing.  Andrew Bynum getting better and benched, meets Brown, now done forever as a Cav. Don't forget what's his name?????  You know the 2013 first overall NBA draft pick. Don't remember?  Me either!!  Does this all sound familiar?  Absolutely!  Welcome to the Mike Brown saga part two too bad Dan Gilbert fucked up another chance at LeBron James again!!

Ohio State vs Clemson Bowl Preview

Discover Orange Bowl Clemson vs. Ohio State, Jan. 3 (ESPN, 8:30 p.m. ET) Why to watch: The Orange Bowl might feature the best matchup of quarterbacks: Clemson's Tajh Boyd vs. Ohio State's Braxton Miller. Boyd threw for 3,473 yards with 29 touchdowns and nine interceptions, while Miller threw for 1,860 yards with 22 touchdowns and five interceptions. The Buckeyes and Tigers have played only once previously -- the infamous 1978 Gator Bowl in which OSU coach Woody Hayes punched Clemson linebacker Charlie Bauman after he intercepted a pass in the Tigers' 17-15 win. Hayes was fired the next morning. Who to watch: Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins, a Biletnikoff Award finalist, had 85 catches for 1,237 yards with 10 touchdowns, bouncing back from what was a mediocre sophomore season in 2012. Watkins could find holes in OSU's secondary, which hasn't been the same since safety Christian Bryant broke his ankle in the Big Ten opener. Cornerback Bradley Roby struggled at times this season, but will be an intriguing matchup against Watkins. Motivating factor for Clemson: Few teams figure to be more motivated than Clemson, which will be trying to make amends for its embarrassing 70-33 loss to West Virginia in the 2012 Orange Bowl. The Tigers surrendered 595 yards of offense and 10 touchdowns in the beatdown. Motivating factor for Ohio State: The Buckeyes had won 24 games in a row before losing to Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game. But there wasn't a lot of meat on the winning streak, and beating an opponent of Clemson's caliber might quiet some critics. Pick: Clemson 27, Ohio State 24 According to www.espn.com

2013 College Football Ohio State Buckeyes All-Americans



Jack Mewhort


Offensive tackle
Ohio State

Urban Meyer may not like to single out performances, but the Ohio State coach has no problem identifying the most important leader on his team. The Buckeyes have never made it a secret who sets the tone, but saving the senior left tackle for the final introduction on senior day only offered confirmation of how critical Mewhort's contributions off the field have been as his college career draws to a close. On the field, he's obviously been no slouch, either, anchoring a line that opened up holes for the nation's second-ranked rushing attack and offered tremendous pass protection for a unit that collectively allowed just 15 sacks. -- Austin Ward

Ryan Shazier


Linebacker
Ohio State

"Fear The Shazier" has become a rallying cry for Ohio State fans. It's also good advice for the Buckeyes' opponents. Ohio State's defense isn't elite this season, but things would be much worse without Shazier, the lone returning starter in the front seven. He led the Big Ten in tackles (122) and tackles for loss (21) and tied for the league lead in forced fumbles (4). He recorded 50 tackles in the final three regular-season contests. An All-Big Ten selection, Shazier was the lone Butkus Award finalist from a league loaded at linebacker. He understands and appreciates Ohio State's storied linebacker tradition and has become a team leader this season. --
