Jeff's Bio

http://aclevelanderinexile.blogspot.com

Jeff (formerly Dr. Poove') is a born and raised Clevelander, from THE 'Ville, who spent four years of college in Pittsburgh at THE Carnegie Mellon University from 1995-1999 where he couldn't even root for his beloved Browns. This has left him cursed to have a friend pool of half Browns fans and half Steelers fans.

He currently lives in exile in the Nation's Capital waiting for that fateful day when "You Know Who" dies and he can sneak up to Baltimore and tinkle on his grave. Why? Because "You Know Who" deserves it.

Jeff was born catholic but was taught to worship the Buckeyes on Saturday and the Browns on Sunday. He also lives and dies with the Indians and still follows the Cavs.

Jeff can be reached at smirnoff.jeff@gmail.com and welcomes any feedback, even from Steeler fans.

Jeff Writes About

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

  • Favorite Athletes

    Jim Brown, Bob Feller, Bernie Kosar, Mark Price, Charles Nagy, LeBron James, Victor Martinez, Kellen Winslow, Phil Dawson, Charles Barkley, Lou Gehrig, Otto Graham

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Cavaliers, Ohio State Buckeyes

  • Favorite Coaches

    Paul Brown, Marty Schottenheimer, Woodu Hayes, Jim Tressel, Mike Hargrove, Lenny Wilkins, Vince Lombardi

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Hasn't happened yet. Cleveland needs to win something while I am alive first.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    I attended the game before "The Shot" at the Richfield Coliseum. Most amazing sports atmosphere I've ever been in.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Joe Dimaggio - 56 game hitting streak.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays. Despite sending the Tribe into a tailspin in 1954. Better all around player.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Otto Graham

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. This from a Cavs fan.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. No doubt.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Nicklaus until Tiger passes him. Ultimately, it will be Tiger.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    The Intimidator. Petty may be a bit more iconic but I think Dale Sr. left more of an imprint on the sport.

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

    Big Ten. I'm a homer. But it's nowhere near the best conference in football or basketball. In fact, it downright stinks right now.
