You know how over the last few years we've been beaten over the head with stories from "reputable" media sources like ESPN saying that Lebron is headed to Brooklyn in 2010 to play for the Jay-Z owned Nets? Well, it seems like such talk may have been a little premature . . . And by premature, I mean partially fabricated and completely misleading.The renowned architect who designed Brooklyn's embattled Atlantic Yards project
says he now believes it will never be built because of the economic downturn. In
an interview with The Architect's Newspaper, Frank Gehry yesterday referred to
Bruce Ratner's $4 billion plan to bring an NBA arena and 16 residential-office
towers to Prospect Heights as one of several "unrealized commissions" he most
wishes had been built. "I don't think it's going to happen . . .More than two years after officials approved the project in December 2006, little work has been done, private land remains to be acquired, and Ratner is scrambling to keep the project afloat. There is no timeline to compete the plan anymore. At best, construction on the arena and, perhaps, one of the skyscrapers could begin this year and possibly be completed by late 2011.

Your right, i should be quoting..YOU? you have some words of wisdom on your posts...Hey lets tear down browns stadium and put a casino up! gosh what an insightful thought. Or "while I agree we should trade Braylon and stockpile draft picks (even though I'm almost sure he's going to make at least one more pro-bowl in his career)" Everyone should take such a bold stance as you do on the braylong edwards. Are you sure, or almost sure? your rhetoric is hard to decipher.

First of all, look up the difference between your and you're. Second, understand that when I'm talking about daydreaming of tearing down Browns stadium, I'm sort of, you know, kidding. I thought that would be a little more obvious. Third, yes, we should probably trade Braylon because although he's talented and will probably regain his form, that's unlikely to happen in his present situation.
Done. No more Browns. This is an Indians and Cavs blog for at least the next month.
Alright, give the people what they want...thank god i dont have to read any more rediculous reads by you on the browns.
Fair enough. We can agree to disagree on that one.
An even better slap in the grill to Nets is the fact that there's been some push to move the Nets to lovely Newark:

As the often politically incorrect (and often hilarious) Joe Tait said the other night: "They'll have to go to games in groups of 5 or more."
God knows I love Joe tait- one of the greats in radio.
Biff- Ill agree to that.
Lenny K Im pretty sure you dont "have" to read anything on this blog if you dont want to......
haha..yes Art- point taken as well.
So when is ESPN going to mention this?
Probably after Lebron signs his extension in July, then they will site the failed project as the reason he is staying in Cleveland. It won't have anything to do with, you know, the ring he just won.
If it's in any way a positive refletion of or beneficial for the city of Cleveland, it's not news. That's ESPN's official policy.
