does anyone remember when ALL of our teams really stunk all at once?

I know we long-time suffering C'Town fans are used to some kind of suffering with one team or another, but can anyone remember suffering with all the teams AT THE SAME TIME?  I've been around long enough to remember basketball needed peach baskets, no not that long, but long enough to honestly state it never has been like this.  Now I know things could change after July 1st and possible change for the good, but do you really feel that way?  

The Indians-a definite struggle to go to the park, fork over good money, and then watch a fundamentally-challenged team attempt to play this silly game!  There are times I think I could do no worse right now, then some on the "talent" on the 25 man roster.  Truth be told tho....I'm not that far from being right!

CAVS-in the state of psychological doom, with no chance of every playing a basketball game again!  Really?  There was basketball before Dan Gilbert and before LBJ.  Granted it was mostly terrible basketball, but for a few years in the mid '90.  Yet will basketball leave or be gone for good after LBJ back-ups his words and goes to seek a title in a different Zip Code?  Probably not.  Great basketball could be gone, but not the sport.  One thing going for us BK fans, an owner who has deep pockets willing to spend (sometimes not smartly) but none the less, willing to spend.  Casino soon to be upon us and filling his pockets, meaning more money to spend, maybe on the necessary parts to mold into a championship team.  Who will remember all of this if a Championship Parade takes place in C'Town or Independence or even Akron?  Betcha ya won't! 

Browns past 10+ yrs. have put nothing on the field, but the lemmings keep the PSL sold; loges filled; and game attendance at near sell-out levels.  Just imagine what it would be with a team that actually competes on the field?  As Dick Enberg would say, "My or My!"

So, tonight begins the first step in a long journey to the ultimate fan destination, a World Championship.  In any sport, one would be accepted, but the CAVS are out of the box first. Let's see if they can start the journey that will end in the following phrase, "Kids, back in '11 I was at the game that brought a Championship to Cleveland for the first time since 1964!"  I do have a leg up on you though, I was in fact in Municipal Stadium on December 27, 1964 watching Gary Collins take in three perfect throws from Frank Ryan for TD's and saw Lou "The Toe" Groza's 2 FG's for a 27-0 upset of the then Baltimore Colts and our last World Championship.

See every story can have a happy ending.  Hope to have another one sooner than later, if ever!!! 

PS: I know it is World Cup time, and the Force/Crunch won a Championship since then, but honestly...do you consider soccer a sport? I don't and this is my blog!!!
