About Ed »

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.

The Shortlist »

  • 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

  • Favorite Coaches

  • 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?

    Ruth

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan

  • Gretzky or Orr?

  • Pele or Maradona?

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

  • Schumacher or Senna?

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

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

    New Article: Why Do Refs Help the Offense During Last-Minute Comebacks?

    Next time you're watching an NFL game in which a team is out of timeouts and trying to score in the last few seconds, watch the officials. Tell me you haven't seen this a hundred times: An offensive player is tackled inbounds...

    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, 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.
