Is RG3 the right QB for the Browns?

With the NFL combine upon us, Browns fans are doing what they do best, talking NFL Draft. Since were at the top of the draft nearly every year, this is one of the most exciting times of the year for Browns fans compared to what happens on the field. Always gives me that false sense of progress. Most fans are calling for the Browns to draft Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III. He has it all: the size, speed, and intelligence. The 2011 Heisman Trophy winner ran a 4.41 40-yard dash on Sunday. The only problem is the Browns would have to trade up to the #2 spot to draft him. That would probably cost them their #4 and #22 pick in this year's draft.

I say we do it. Griffin is just one of those guys you can't pass up. What do you think?

RG3 looks pretty good in a Browns uniform don't you think?

Kyrie's Concussion

We all know concussions are getting a great deal of attention lately. And they're about to get much more with the announcement that Cleveland Cavaliers star point guard Kyrie Irving has a concussion. Irving suffered the concussion when his head hit the knee of Miami's Dwyane Wade last week. The NBA implemented a new concussion policy before this season and it is much more strict than in previous years. Certain steps must be completed before the player can return to the court.Cavs coach Byron Scott has said back when he played when he had a headache he would just take some asprins. This shows how much the treatment and awareness of concussions has changed over the years. It looks as if Kyrie won't be back until at least Wednesday this week. The Cavs record without their star point guard has been 1-2 so I'm sure they're hoping for a quick recovery for Kyrie. As long as he's back before LeBron James' return to Cleveland on February 17th, I'm okay with it.

Should we trade Sessions?

As of late, I've heard several rumors about the availability of Cavs backup point guard Ramon Sessions. Many of the rumors center around the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are in dire need of a capable point guard and Ramon would fill that vacancy perfect, so it makes sense that the Lakers are interested. But what do they have to offer the Cavs? The Cavs are a rebuilding team so they want young talent and draft picks. As it is now, L.A has 2 first round draft picks in the 2012 Draft which should be very appealing to the Cavs. If I was Chris Grant, G.M of the Cavaliers, I would only trade Sessions for those 2 first round draft choices as the Lakers really have nothing else to offer. The only way I trade Sessions, who is a great player on this Cavs team and runs the team's second offense, is if the Cavs receive two draft choices in return.

Kyrie showing why he was #1 pick

Only 18 games into his NBA career and Cavs guard Kyrie Irving is showing flashes of super stardom. Irving went off Friday night for 32 points, a career high, in a 3-point loss to the New Jersey Nets. Nonetheless, it was a very promising and impressive performance. Since this year is a rebuilding year for the Cavaliers I'd rather focus on the players and how they're doing and the future of the Cavs than wins and losses.  But with Kyrie Irving as their star, the Cavaliers may not be rebuilding for long. I believe he will continue to improve and will become one of the top players in the league. And when that happens the Cavs will be in contention for that coveted NBA title once again.

Cavs rebound against Knicks.

Maybe it was just the uniforms. The Cleveland Cavaliers stoppped a 4-game losing streak by beating the New York Knicks 91-81 on Wednesday while debuting some new alternate uniforms. It was a great game overall for the Cavs but especially good for forward Anderson Varejao. Varejao easily had his best game of the season with 10 points, 16 rebounds, and 4 assists that sparked the team to victory. Hopefully, we can see more of this to come from our Cleveland Cavaliers.

The new uniforms were based on a Cavs fansite,"CavFanatics." The jersey is navy blue with wine lettering outlined by gold. The text across the chest says "Cavs" instead of the usual "Cavaliers."

Hi, my name is Kevin and welcome to my blog. I'm 15 and a freshman in high school. I've decided to keep a blog to update everyone on the Cleveland sports teams. I'll mainly focus on the Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Browns, and Cleveland Indians. Sports are a big part of my life. I play football and basketball and enjoy every second of playing them. I also follow professional sports pretty closely. While I'm not an expert I'd say I know a fair amount about sports. Reading the sports page on weekends in the mornings is always relaxing. And now its exciting to be writing my own opinions about the Cleveland sports teams.
