About Ryan »

For the last four years, I worked as a staff sports writer for the Suburbanite Newspaper in Summit County, Ohio. I have also dabbled around on several web sites covering the Indians, Browns, Cavaliers, Buckeyes and Golden Flashes.

Currently, I'm now attending Kent State (newspaper journalism) and am writing for Kent State's athletic website, kentstatesports.com.

Truth-be-told, I much prefer writing about the big three in Cleveland than Kent or Ohio State. As an optimistic realist Cleveland fan, I know heartbreak, and plenty of it. Pitt over Cleveland in 2003, Spurs/Celtics/Magic over Cleveland the last three years, Sox over the Tribe in 07--and of course the constant futility of the 19th century Cavs, and the devastation of the 90's Indians and 80's Browns.

The last championship trophy in Cleveland was hoisted 26 years before I was born--but still today, Cleveland Rocks.

    How embarrassed are you Ryan as a noted College Logic professor. I guess the small teams don't make money off the Yankees, good we will keep...

    It's time to prepare the throne, the King has arrived in New York! Lebron James made his only appearance of the season at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks tonight. Take a look.

    Looking to fill the last two spots in a competitive (yet free) league. League is mostly filled with B/R writers, would like to set draft for this weekend, need to fill final few spots first. 20 teams total, idp, bragging rights only, but with most owners being on this site bragging rights will be fun. Interested? Hit me up, just need your email and the invite will be on the way.

    Haha Ryan, welcome to the site.

    Ah well as you know, I go to Akron and I don't live in Summit, but I do live in Kent. I just moved to Kent recently, but since I've gone to Akron I've met some people that went to Green.

    Yes, definitely involved in a lot of rivalries with my sports allegiances. But I love the Indians possibly the most. Can't wait to see your stuff this year. When the season gets closer and underway we like to do some stuff as an Indians community, so if your around, be on the lookout for some stuff from me. We got a nice community here for the Indians.

    Again, welcome to the site and thanks for your add and kind words.

    -Nino
