WaitingForNextYear has a roundtable discussion about Jake Delhomme.
Land Loyalty: "I don't know where [Braylon Edwards] came up with that New York type essence growing up in Michigan and playing college ball in Ann Arbor, but apparently him showing up for his first press conference in Cleveland in an Italian suit and a Bentley left an impression on Browns fans that he was never able to shake. This is all ridiculous, of course. While some fans were quick to harp on his shortcomings because he played for that school up north, his inability to live up to his potential while at the same time displaying an 'I'm better than you' attitude is what turned fans off to him." » Read more

Cavaliers
Cavs HQ: "Here's hoping that the Cavalier organization realizes what this means about the size of the Cleveland market and the impact of LeBron James. LeBron James was the Cleveland Cavaliers for the last seven years, and the entire franchise needs a complete rebuild and reboot to recover from his departure. Nobody is interested in watching a team led by Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison. Keep them around if you think it will lead to a better return when - not if - you trade them. But please, please, please don't pretend that you can build a contending team around them." » Read more
Cavs: the blog: "Of course, the other side of LeBron's move to Miami is that he's now a villain to a large proportion of the fan population. We've seen Kobe's Q rating go through the roof after he embraced a 'borderline sociopath' persona — will that be the narrative that takes over if Miami wins it all next season?" » Read more
Cleveland Frowns: "It's worth remembering again that LeBron grew up in poverty in Akron, didn't have a dad, or really even a mom to take him to the Coliseum, the baseball park, or probably much of anywhere else outside of Akron's city limits. In this way, Akron and Cleveland were quite distinct and separate places for LeBron in a way that they weren't for many of us. Which isn't to say LeBron shouldn't get with the program now that he's a hundred millionaire; nor is it to excuse his self-serving view as much as it is to just explain it, and provide a backdrop for the following reminder that there are a lot of people in Akron who are just as mad at LeBron as folks in Cleveland are." » Read more

Indians
Cleveland Reboot: "I know I may be in the minority here but this team excites me. In a perfect world, the Indians would be world beaters like it's 1995 all over again. But that's not happening. Dick Jacobs is not going to ride in on a white horse with Albert Belle, Kenny Lofton and Carlos Baerga by his side. We have to make the best of what we have and what we have doesn't appear to be all that bad. So hop on the bandwagon. I assure you that there's plenty of room." » Read more
