Tim Thoughts

One thing that separates me from the talking heads on TV who dish out extreme views on sports only to never be held accountable (aside from the fact I’m not on TV) is that I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong. A week ago, I said to my friends that Cavs point guard Mo Williams can only be counted on when the Cavs are already rolling. With no statistics to back up my thinking, it seemed to me that Mo would light it up from 3-point land only when the …

It’s draft day! For sports fans like me, today is a big day. Despite the fact that annually the Cleveland Browns find a way to draft talent that never pans out, the draft is still exciting. Here’s my perspective on what to expect from the Browns tonight in Round 1 of the NFL Draft.

A few weeks ago I was golfing with my friend, Matt. We were standing along a tree line in the rough. We spent most of our time in the rough. Looking into the woods, Matt asked me a very serious question: “If something were to run out of there and attack us, what golf club would you use to protect yourself?”
Wow. Fast forward about 3 weeks and I’m still thinking about it. Let’s assume for the sake of conversation that the creature is not a bear, or a wolf, but …

Cleveland fans have gone through some really difficult moments, so we have to really enjoy these great moments. LeBron James hit an incredible game-winning 3-pointer last night. I’m still amazed.
