WFNY 2012 Draft Not-so-Big Board 1.4
Heading in to the 2011-12 season, we figured we would get the ball rolling on some admittedly early NBA Draft talk. Unless the 7-10 Cavaliers shock the world (150/1 odds as NBA Champion, bettering only Toronto entering this season), it is widely assumed that the team will be selecting fairly early in the lottery once again. That said, we’re going to provide WFNY readers with some...

Indians Place Fausto Carmona on Restricted List
The Cleveland Indians have officially placed starting pitcher Fausto Carmona on the restricted list. Carmona, whose real name is reportedly Roberto Hernandez Heredia, was arrested one week ago on charges of false identity as he was attempting to renew his visa within the Dominican Republic.
Released on $13,000 bond, Carmona/Hernandez will have to endure the Dominican legal process...

Fair or Foul? City Of Cleveland Giving $5 Million to Renovate League Park
Cleveland has a historic landmark in it’s Hough Neigborhood. Many people know its there, but other than a quick drive-by, there isn’t much of a reason to stop. I’m speaking of course of old League Park, the baseball field that was the one-time home of the Cleveland Indians and the Negro League Cleveland Buckeyes. The structure sits vacant on the corner of E. 66th...

Penn State No Match For Buckeyes On Their Home Floor
With a Penn State team coming to Value City Arena sitting at the bottom of the conference at just 2-6, not having beat Ohio State in their last 16 tries, it would have been easy for OSU to look ahead to their showdown with co-Big Ten leader Michigan on Sunday afternoon. Instead, the Buckeyes continued their Midwest tour of lockdown defense as they stifled the Nittany Kitties, holding...

Anderson Varejao, All-Star?
The last time the New York Knicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers at home was November 29, 2006. Anderson Varejao was not about to let that date be usurped by one considerably more recent.
Recording his ninth double-double of the season in a 10-point win over the Knicks on Wednesday evening, the man whom Clevelander’s endear as “Wild Thing” pulled down a season-high...

Irving: Varejao’s Toughness is Contageous
[Anderson Varejao] brings a toughness here and it’s contagious. It was contagious throughout the entire game, even through our bench. The bench is just as important as the starters, so it feels good to win. [...] I wasn’t really focused on my offense. I just wanted to help out my teammates. I only attempted six shots tonight and I have no problem doing that. I get my teammates...

Box Score: Knicks 81, Cavaliers 91
The Cavaliers used some good defense to overcome a lot of sloppy play by both teams as they snapped their four game losing streak. The Knicks mostly looked like a mess in this one. Disoriented, disinterested, and unorganized. The Cavaliers were able to do just enough to take advantage. Anderson Varejao was a monster in this game, throwing his body all over the court in securing 16...

Forbes: Cavs Turned Biggest Profit Ever During 2010-11 Season
In a recent report put together by Forbes which discussed the current state and value of NBA franchises as well as the successful television ratings which continue to go hand-in-hand with star-centric sporting events, we find that the Cleveland Cavaliers turned their biggest profit in the history of the franchise during the season which LeBron James was no longer a fixture within...

Report: Tony Grossi Out as Browns Beat Reporter
Scene Magazine’s Vince Grzegorek has reported that The Plain Dealer has removed Tony Grossi from the Cleveland Browns beat. Grossi “accidentally tweeted” last week calling Browns owner Randy Lerner “a pathetic figure, the most irrelevant billionaire in the world”.
Vince writes-
“He was in hot water with his editors and bosses at the PD over the...

Cavalier Mistakes Are Costly But Correctable
With the third-highest turnover total in the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers find themselves playing without a safety net. The cough-ups, many of which are unforced, have been the focal point of several Byron Scott post-game recaps as his team has now been embarrassed twice and let two winnable games fall through their fingertips within a seven-day span.
Twenty-two more turnovers...

On Lee Fohl and the Lessons of Cleveland Fandom
You may be about to learn two things about me. First, while many of you know this already, I’ve never made my provenance entirely explicit. I was born in St. Louis, MO and spent most of my childhood there. This made me (and still makes me) a fairly die-hard Cardinals fan. It also makes me a fan who has reveled in–depending on how and whom you count–anywhere from two...

Report: NBA Owners Discussing Revenue Sharing
When the NBA owners and players agreed to end the lock out, I think most people thought that was the end of all talks about competitive balance. However, as it turns out, the owners argued that revenue sharing among owners was an owners issue and not something that needed to be collectively bargained. And now it appears the owners are close to agreeing on a groundbreaking new revenue...

Prince in Detroit – The Games Aren’t Played on Paper
I spent all of yesterday on the road, going in an out of meetings. I emerged from a two and a half hour ordeal in a good place. We got a lot out of this customer visit. Little did I know how quickly my mood would change. As I looked down at my phone, I saw an email from a friend of mine with the subject “Prince?” I open the email and it simply reads “Prince to the...

NFL Draft Rumor: Browns Linked to Buckeye Mike Adams?
We all know that the Cleveland Browns need to figure out the right side of the offensive line as betting on Tony Pashos only paid off when compared to John St. Clair if at all. Apparently the Browns could be placing a high priority on it as well in the draft according to WalterFootball.
Word is that the Cleveland Browns have serious interest in Ohio State offensive tackle Mike...

Video: Alonzo Gee’s Baseline Dunk on Udonis Haslem
Deemed the “Dunk of the Night” by NBA.com, Cavaliers swingman Alonzo Gee provides Miami Heat power forward Udonis Haslem with some punishment for being late with his help defense. It could be argued that his dunk earlier in the game was even more highlight worthy. Also could be argued that Gee would have attempted the three-pointer from the corner just one season ago.

Parker: We Made LeBron Work For Everything
We brought help [on LeBron] when we needed to. We tried to make him work for everything. He is a great player and he is going to get points. We did not want to give him breakaways and easy lay-ups at the basket. The only positive thing about [tonight's game] is that we competed and played better. We are not satisfied coming out with the loss, but with the last couple of games...

Box Score: Cavaliers 85, Heat 92
The Cavaliers got a nice off their bench as Samardo Samuels (15), Ramon Sessions (10), Daniel Gibson (8), and Alonzo Gee (7) combined for 40 points, but Chris Bosh was just too much in the 4th quarter stretch for the Cavaliers to handle as they fell on the road to the Heat. The Cavaliers still deserve a lot of credit for coming out and playing great defense and giving good effort...

Cavaliers Taking Their Struggles To South Beach to Face the Heat
Wait, we’re not tired of the “taking my [blank] to [blank]” jokes yet, are we?
The struggling Cleveland Cavaliers (6-9) must go to Miami where they will face the reigning Eastern Conference Champion Heat (11-5).
In some ways, both teams are having similar starts to their seasons as they had last year. The Cavaliers started off showing some spunk, winning games here and there...

Originally reported by Yahoo! Sports’ Tim Brown, the Tigers apparently jumped into the bidding war for the slugging 27-year-old and immediately came...

Windhorst: Before it’s All Over, LeBron Will Play for Cleveland
I’m not saying it’s happening in 2014, but before it’s all over, LeBron [James] will play [for] Cleveland. He will get a statue; they just built a statue for Jim Thome and he stiffed Cleveland just as much as LeBron. In the end, he goes back to the Cavs and he’s remembered as a great player and not as a villain. I might be proven wrong, but that’s my...

Christian Eyenga Returns to Practice
The Cavaliers made the decision at the beginning of the year that swingman Christian Eyenga needed more work and opportunities to play than he would get in Cleveland. So they did what was expected and sent him to the D-League Canton Charge affiliate. Coach Scott said publicly that he wanted Eyenga to work on his defense, and I’m sure the whole organization would appreciate...
