Greg's Bio

Hey guys! So I thought this would be a better place to blog about sports then my space or facebook. Anyway, I am from the Cleveland Ohio area, I love the Browns Cavs and Indians. I am also I Ohio State Buckeye Fanatic and a big Hockey fan. You will definately hear from me about these teams, some things I say you think will be right on target and agree with, some you will hate me for and think I am an idiot. I guess that's what's best about a sports fan from Cleveland like me, right? Anyway glad to be here and stop by often to see what I have to say!

Hello Buddy, take a look at this important article. It will most likely be my last on bleacher report. Feel free to pass it around. Thank you very much and God Bless!

Well I indeed apologize for my offensive comments, as the majority of my comments these days are offensive in nature. Don't really know what the hell that's all about. You can criticize me all you want, I'm in. In fact, maybe because I'm so critical of other articles is the fact that I think criticism helps a write get better. If it has the adverse effect, than that method is useless. So, my apologies. I've deleted mentioned comment.

Although I invited you to insult/criticize/hate/love anything I write. I've been working hard hours and haven't written anything on the series until tonight.

Greg,

Enjoyed your articles on the SCF. I'm originally from Erie, PA and I feel a deep, resonating bond with those other individuals who live on the southern shores of Lake Erie. We all must live with the lingering effects of decades of pollution! (just kidding) In all seriousness... I hope you didn't take offense at my comments. They were only intended to add to the discussion rather than criticize your writing. I'm particularly embarrassed by the comment Chris Miller left you - it was childish and out of line (and typical of many "homer" fans commenting on this site). Keep writing! I look forward to your Buckeye articles this fall as the Big 10 team battle it out. Go Lions! (I can't wait for Paterno to retire.)

Tired of reading the same articles about Mangini? Here's my take on the Browns roster and how they could attack free agency. It's a fresh look at the organization and could be refreshing after sifting through thousands of Mangini articles.

I said it would be a good game, and the person who wrote that article said USC would win by 50 against a very good Penn State fan. Which one makes more sense? Exactly.
