Bruce BostwickChange in Blog: No More Cleveland posts after this one

This is the last one even talking about them because it gets redundant. Final thoughts on each Cleveland team in general. I'm going to perhaps take a more general view on everything.
Cavs: They have no heart. They play when they want to. Expect changes for the worst. LeBron is not the player everyone makes him out to be. He's no leader because he doesn't want to lead by example. If you're going to be the MVP and labeled the best player, you've got to play better than what you've done. I would compare them to the Dallas Mavericks. Maybe if they can get Dirk here, ah who am I kidding, it wouldn't work anymore. As long as they remain in Cleveland, they'll never win a championship. 2007 trip to the NBA Finals is going to be as good as it's going to get.
Indians: Should be contending every year for the AL Central but scared of Minnesota now apparently. Detroit strikes fear in them. 1997 was their last chance at winning it all and they will never reach that point. They have shown that this team doesn't care about building a winner. I feel it's a plot to drive the Indians out of Cleveland. The Dolans do not seem to care about winning but that's a perception. As far as 2007 goes, it's not good enough to get close. Contending once every five years is unacceptable. No wonder they can't sell out anymore.
Browns: There just isn't much to say. At least they are trying but failing miserably. Haven't been good in a while. I don't think they'll ever be good. Not good enough to get to a Super Bowl or even for that matter be a playoff team.
The city is cursed due to the sins of the past. Previous Cleveland sports owners of the respective teams have committed cardinal sins that have ruined them and the fan base forever more. The Indians had Trader Lane, who still haunts them to this very day. The Browns have Art Modell or Paul Brown depending on who you believe haunting them. If you count the Browns as one whole entity, then after Paul Brown's departure, they got one title and since then hasn't done much of anything. The Cavaliers had Ted Stepien, though in fairness he didn't last long as an owner. Maybe it's just the Browns that has a huge affect on every major Cleveland team.
The only hope for a Cleveland team to win anything would be in a minor league that hardly anyone cares about.
