I don’t really need to put a description here. Opie and Anthony present, “Baby Diaper Moustache.” There is potty-mouth language and the real possibility that you will dry heave, and/or throw up.
OOOF!

This is a long, interesting look into the man, Delonte West. I understand what it is all about and I am happy that he ended up here with the Cavs. I can’t help but root for any man who wears the number 13 on the back of his jersey. But, the dude is still very strange. Check out the anecdotes in the article. Oh yeah, and for some reason, it seemed necessary to either him or the reporter that he do a topless photo shoot for the article.
This might be the least surprising news that I have heard in a long time. James Harrison (allegedly) beat up his girlfriend. Now, I know what you are thinking. I am using this as an opportunity to bash a Pittsburgh Steelers player. I always want to find good excuses for that, but not this time. As you will see on the video, it isn’t surprising that James Harrison was arrested for assault because we have seen him lose his mind and attack a Cleveland Browns’ “fan” who decided to run onto the field completely inebriated.
The Company Line was supposed to be at the Beachland Ballroom tonight, but the show has been put off due to the blizzard, until April 5th. All tickets for tonight’s show will be honored on April 5th. Please watch Beachland Ballroom’s website for details.
If you missed it, go check out the eVite for the show. It has been updated for April 5th.
I tried really hard to get to my radio show today, but the weather kept me away from it. I drove all the way down Chester Avenue in Cleveland and needed to cross one of the numbered cross streets to get to the Galleria in Cleveland to the radio station’s studios. As I turned on to East 12th, my car got stuck and I couldn’t rock it back and forth out.
I got out of my car and looked to the right to see Action 19′s station headquarters. They are a local TV station here in Cleveland. Some asshole was standing there filming me and not helping me push my car. I hope you got the footage you needed, dick.
Luckily for me, I packed a snow shovel in my back seat and after a bit of shoveling, I was able to clear enough wheel space to rock my car out of that street and back onto Chester. After seeing that none of the other cross streets were plowed either, I gave up and just made my way back up Chester to go home. No radio show for me.
You have to understand. This is like being a stone’s throw away from getting where you want to go, but being blocked by a barbed wire fence and being unable to get there.
It wasn’t easy getting home, but luckily I made it. I will certainly have to get the chassis of my car looked at because of all the high snow that I had to drive through. Surprisingly, the rock show that my band, The Company Line is supposed to play tonight at the Beachland Ballroom has not been canceled yet. I really don’t imagine that it would make any sense to try and load my guitars and my amp into my car for another attempt at going somewhere.
Stay tuned for more details as I hope we can get this show rescheduled for another day.
Apparently we had it mostly right concerning Leigh Bodden being part of the deal for Shaun Rogers. We assumed that because he was traded that Phil Savage thought Bodden had lost a step. Turns out that that part might be true. The thinking could be that Bodden, who has been prone to high ankle sprains in the past three years, might never have consistent health again.
The other part that I didn’t think of at first is that they were probably expecting Bodden to hold out with two years left on his deal. Bodden (and his agent) would certainly consider him to be more valuable than the $2.5 – 3 million that he has coming per year over the next two years. To the Browns’ credit, tather than paying all that money for a DB who might have already hit his career peak, it appears Savage wants to bet Romeo Crennel can get Shaun Rogers to perform for a full season.
I have been critical of Romeo in every phase of the game, but the guys on the message boards brought me around on the fact that he has the support of the players and is very good at being a player’s coach.
Let’s hope that Romeo can continue to develop Shaun Rogers’ character and work ethic now that he has joined the Cleveland Browns. If he can get Rogers to play consistently and take his conditioning seriously, there is no telling how much impact he can make on the Cleveland Browns’ defensive line. Maybe he can make enough impact that whoever takes over for Bodden will be able to carry the load in the defensive backfield.
I am writing this as a result of the apparent move by the new owner of the Seattle Supersonics to hijack that team and move it to Oklahoma City. I am amazed that I don’t hear more outrage from Cleveland fans regarding this situation. I know we are all very happy here right now in the NBA with LeBron James and the blockbuster deal that Danny Ferry just pulled off to rid this town of Larry Hughes. I know that our noses are buried deep in the newspaper watching the moves that Phil Savage pulls off to rebuild the defense and rise above a surprising 10-win season. But Cleveland fans should be screaming almost as loudly as Seattle fans as cross-country advocates for a city that appears to be about to lose its team.
It is a situation that is so familiar to Clevelanders. We lost the Browns because Art Modell wanted to hold the city at gunpoint over a new stadium. Sure there was some bad political play in there as well, but the bottom line is that Cleveland lost their football team and it never should have happened. Well, Seattle shouldn’t lose their basketball team either just because some guy has tons and tons of money. He could afford the team, but to put his desires and wishes above all those basketball fans who have been following the Sonics for 40+ years is ridiculous.
Just like what happened in Cleveland, there are a lot of people to blame in Seattle. I am not going to go into the blame game except one place. Just like Paul Tagliabue never should have allowed Art Modell to move the Browns out of Cleveland, David Stern should not allow the Sonics to be moved out of Seattle. You shouldn’t allow that to happen to a fan base in a city that has traditionally supported the team. Even if the Sonics have lost money over the last few years, the NBA as a business has not. It is a franchise agreement and it is up to the NBA to wade through the details of making every one of their clubs profitable. It is hard for me to believe that Stern would allow this long-standing franchise with a good track record to be swiped from a traditional NBA city. It is bad business to bring harm to your fan base.
Anyway, I don’t really care about the issues in this case. All I care about is a fan base is about to lose their team. That is where I identify with Seattle today. I support their plight to save their team and I hope that they are at least as successful as the Cleveland fans were in keeping their team identity even as all the players, ownership and staff left to become the Baltimore Ravens. I would hope that other Cleveland fans would at least speak up in support of the Seattle Sonics fans. If anyone out in this world of professional sports fans can understand the horrible suffering they are facing, it is all the rabid Browns fans in Cleveland.
Hank Steinbrenner is turning into Mr. McMahon from the WWE. You see when Vince McMahon decides he has to play a “heel*” in the WWE, he goes by the name Mr. McMahon. When he is playing a good guy, he plays Vince.
Well Hank Steinbrenner is slowly turning heel on the nation. He is walking into the arena somewhere in the midwest and he is calling everyone fat, lazy and stupid. I am convinced that Hank Steinbrenner is just trying to get boos now. He had this to say about “Red Sox Nation.”
” ‘Red Sox Nation?’ Hank says. ‘What a bunch of [expletive] that is. That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans. Go anywhere in America and you won’t see Red Sox hats and jackets, you’ll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We’re going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order,’ “
Someone remove the gas can and lighter from Hank Steinbrenner’s hands. He is going to burn this whole place down. The bright side here in Cleveland is that the Indians team that sent “America’s Yankees” onto the golf course last season in October will be able to fly under the radar of East Coast Bias for the Yankees and Red Sox this year even though the class of the American League just might exist in Cleveland and Detroit this year.
* Heel is WWE for bad guy.
