Cleveland sports fans can take a punch (or a kick) -- Bud Shaw's You Said It
CLEVELAND, Ohio — You Said It is based on the premise that the only thing Cleveland sports fans need more than a championship is a sense of humor…
YOU SAID IT
Bud: In this series against Draymond Green and the Warriors, do you know if the Cavs are wearing extra protection? – Jay Shulman
For years Cleveland sports fans have gone into big games wearing cups. Why shouldn’t the Cavs?
Bud: As Johnny Manziel was being served with legal papers he told reporters he is focusing on football. Are there six-foot and under leagues? – O. Bill Stone
I haven’t heard such a loose definition of “focusing” since O.J. searched for the real killers on every golf course in Southern California.
Bud: Do you know where you were and what you were doing the last time Cleveland won a championship? – Tom Hoffner, Broadview Heights
Yes. I was interning for my future job writing sports in Cleveland by watching my 1964 Phillies lose a 6 1/2 game lead with 12 to play.
Bud: Is it adversity yet? – Vince G, Cincinnati
In many towns maybe being down 2-0 or 2-1 in the NBA Finals would qualify. In a Browns town, that word is expressly reserved for the third-string quarterback’s annual start in Pittsburgh the final game of the season.
Bud: What is that thumbless, armored oven mitt that Rajai Davis puts on when he is on base?! What percentage of YSI “contributors” do you wish used those! – Jack Chase, Brook Park
While it would be difficult to type or text emails wearing those, that wouldn’t slow down the 99 percent of You Said It contributors who submit in crayon.
Bud: Are “Analytics” used to calculate rebates too? – Unsophisticated Trucker
You Said It winners beat everybody, including the occasional dead horse.
