About

I grew up in Toledo, Ohio as a diehard Cleveland Indians, Browns, and Cavaliers fan. I am also a Detroit Red Wings fan (the Cleveland Barons were long gone by the time I was born and the Columbus Blue Jackets weren't around yet). I also grew up a big Ohio State fan. I am a 2006 Ohio State alum and now live in Cincinnati, OH. While the Indians are still the team of my heart I care about and follow the Cincinnati Reds as well. As a divisional rival I cannot say the same about the Cincinnati Bengals, but living here and being a big NFL fan I can't help but follow the happenings of them as well. I am a big fan of both the NFL and NBA Drafts as well.

Typically what I write will be opinion or prediction based. You won't find me reporting much breaking news. I like to look at big events a little after they happen from an interesting angle.

    I like that you stick to your opinion no matter what, people can hate all they want. I did disagree about you saying the draft put us back ten years but everyone is entitled to an opinion. Some people just can't handle that and if your right you will make everyone look like a bunch of jackasses, but lets hope your wrong eh? keep it up man

    Mind numbing. Try grading all teams after at least a year to three. Please good sir.

    Leo,

    Well written article you just put out. I'm still seething about the draft and wrote a couple of comments about it and got ripped apart. I just can't see how they improved the team as a whole while teams like the Bengals, Steelers, Pats, Lions, etc are vastly improving through the draft.

    Mind nubbing on every level.

    Since we were just talking about it. Thought i'd bring up that it's reported that the Chargers are now interested in trying to trade up in front of Dallas to get Mark Barron.

    You totally lost me on your helmet power rankings. I'll preface that by saying that helmet power rankings are rather ridiculous, but you totally had most of it completely backwards. Most fans loathe both helmets from the state of Ohio, because they're just plain ugly. The Colts have nothing to say about their helmets except for that they've never changed. That's not much of a sales pitch. Not only that, but how many actual horses have really run the city of Indianapolis. It's not even original, they stole it from Baltimore. The Vikings? They don't even look like Horns. Buffalo? Talk about unimaginative, same as the Chargers… You praise them because they went white? Wow. I'll give you the Rams, they are awesome, the Saints, certainly fitting. I can't believe you left the Texans out of the top two. They're bitchin. I'm from Seattle, and from the online polls, most people like them and some people just aren't used to the new uniforms. If you're a traditionalist, how could you leave out the Steelers, Packers and Bears out of the top 10? Those are all so traditional they should never change them, or the Raiders. Anyway, it's just my opinion, but I think you got it all wrong, even using your own criteria. Sorry.
