So I spent my Sunday driving from Chicago to Cleveland, and so couldn't watch what I expected to be one of the worst games ever played, between the 1-8 Lions and the 1-8 Browns. Little did I know that it would turn out to be such a "great" game, at least for fans with...

Bill Simmons seems to think so... Ravens (-10.5) over BROWNS I was watching "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" at something like 4:30 in the morning recently because my body clock is screwed up and I keep waking up at weird hours like the girl in "Paranormal Activity."...

Game 1 tonight between the Yankees and Phillies. I think we might see Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia a few times in this series, and it's gonna hurt each time. What could have been, if the Indians just could play to their potential, the fans could just go to a few more games, the team...

The first game of the Cleveland Cavaliers' 2009-10 campaign was eerily reminiscent of the thuddingly anticlimactic final six games of the team’s 2008-2009 playoff run. Namely, the opposing team killing Cleveland with transitional threes and LeBron controlling the ball too much...

A good article about what it's like to be a Browns fan these days. I'm sure all of us can relate a little.
From Geoff LaTulippe page 2 on ESPN.com
"In reality, it all began Jan. 17, 1988.
Yeah, OK, the hooks were in place way before that -- I was born in Berea...

October is CST’s favorite sporting month of the year. It presents a convergence of college and pro football, baseball playoffs and on-the-horizon NBA action. With a fresh start represented by the Jewish New Year (5770 and counting...eat it, Pharaoh!), October is also a month that...

As a day symbolic of the disastrous state of Cleveland sports comes to end, I found these highlights of perhaps my favorite team of all time. Led by Bernie, Kevin Mack, and Reggie Langhorn, we get a glimpse of real football, a true offense that is a glaring contrast to the debacle...

Not a good 24 hours for CST’s two favorite football teams: An agonizing loss by Ohio State followed by a not unexpected, but still depressing performance by the Browns. I could complain about the play calling in both games (and I will), but what it comes down to for both of our beloved...

Saturday night's game showed that the defense of Ohio State was more than up to the task of competing with the potent Trojans (despite their freshman QB). But it exposed one thing, and convinced many people of another.1. I've felt for a couple years that the vaunted "Tressel...
