Ed's Bio

Ed is a long-time writer and editor who's worked for Notre Dame (10 years) and several newspapers, including USA Today. In 2008 he became the first person with a journalism background to earn the new master's in management of online communities from USC's Annenberg School for Communication. He's a Cleveland native, a loyal fan of the city's pro teams (especially the Browns), and thus a world-class sufferer. Our motto: What else can go wrong? Also: Burn in Hell, Modell.

Ed Writes About

Gorm Is Or commented on An Ode to Notre Dame Stadium

The Short List What Ed thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

LeBron James, Mo Williams, Roger Federer, Brian Sipe, Jim Brown, Shaq, Joe Montana, Dan Marino
Favorite Sports Teams

Browns, Cavs, Indians (I'm a Cleveland boy), Notre Dame
All Time Sports Moment

Browns' 1986 first-round playoff win over the New York Jets, 23-20 in double overtime. The Brownies were down 10 with five minutes to play and about to punt but Mark Gastineau was flagged for roughing Bernie Kosar. That started an amazing comeback. I was there.
Most Memorable Game Attended

See above. I was also at the Miracle of Richfield seventh-game Cavs playoff win over the Washington Bullets in 1976. I also witnessed Jordan's shot over Craig Ehlo in 1989.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Maybe Oscar Robertson averaging a triple double for an entire season. But there are plenty that truly can never be broken, like Kevin Kouzmanoff hitting a grand-slam home run on the first pitch he faced in the majors. When Tiger Woods retires it may be a long time before anyone comes close to his career wins or career winning percentage.
Ruth or Mays?

Unitas or Montana?

Montana
Jordan or Russell?

Federer or Sampras?

Federer
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Depends on the sport. Big East in basketball, SEC in football. For now.

I see your point.

I added "My Crystal Ball:" to the beginning of the title.

I just wanted people to read it and believe it as it could happen and they wouldn't be surprised. I assume people know the game is tomorrow. But to avoid confusion, adding that before the title is definitly the safe route.

Thanks again Ed.

Hey Ed,

you edited my piece on Ray. I removed the "imagine this" portion of the headline.

The only reason I did, was because I wanted the people to read it with out knowing the obvious, that it hasn't happened yet, going into it.

If that doesn't make sense and you still want to add it, I understand.

Hey Ed, being a Cleveland native, I thought you might appreciate my latest: World B. Free: The Man Who Saved Basketball in Cleveland.

Hey Ed, I used to live right down the street from your parents...I lived in Mayfield Heights until two years ago. I've sinced moved to Sagamore Hills.

By the way, I was joking with my wife about the Cavs that although I'm happy for the success so far, there is always a part of me that refuses to get my hopes up until it [a championship] finally happens.

Ed, thanks a lot for your edits and feedback. Much appreciated.

Nice to hear from another long-time Cleveland sports sufferer. Misery loves company.

I too, was at "The Shot" game. I didn't witness the Miracle of Richfield loss, but I listened on the radio. I was only 9, but I remember exactly where I was...in my bedroom listening to Joe Tait, shooting baskets on my nerf hoop.

I noticed you mentioned the Jets/Browns playoff game in your profile. I was there as well and ironically, I just took a time out from the piece I was writing on the game.

If you can't watch it or see it, I am not sure why?

I don't know, but I can see it. Others who have commented on it can too?

BTW, Ed. I tried the alt/0125 you suggested to make a dash and it didn't work for me.

Ed, thanks for the edits but I want you to know that "come to think of it" is my tagline, I use it as part of all my headlines. I guess it's just "my thang", if you will. I'll just change it back, no big deal.

Thanks, Bob
