When I comes to women's sports, I prefer volleyball.

"M-Rod:
Who do you root for?"
|
I've never had the "fan gene". I always followed and rooted for individuals growing up. I remember being mesmerized by Barry Sanders when he was OSU. I wasn't and Oklahoma State fan, I just love to watch him run the football. Then when he was drafted by Detroit, I watched every Lions game I could (I still miss watching him).
The same has always been true for wrestling (the only sport I really follow anymore). I'm not a UNC fan, but I really like Joey Ward...not a Michigan fan, but Steve Luke was one of my favorite wrestlers of all time...not an Ohio State guy, but have always enjoyed Tomesello.
It's always rubbed people weird. I can remember being at tOSU and admiring and respecting Mark Marenelli, but I was a huge fan of Joey Gilbert up at Michigan.
I've never felt loyalty or a connection to a particular program, even when I was part of it. I was on some good teams in high school and I was proud of our accomplishments, but I don't necessarily root for guys from my old school. There's some interest there, but I don't feel "school pride" like other people.

Cavs best chance to win a title took a big hit last night when OKC went down in flames in the final minutes. In fairness, Klay Thompson wasn't missing a shot. When Curry (who has spend the playoffs showing that he's not the best player in the NBA by a long shot) got hot, that was it.
Cavs would have had home court against OKC. They're on the road and playing the more dangerous team if GS closes at home.
Oh, well, that's how Clevelanders think. Some of you probably don't understand my mindset but NE Ohioans do.

I think mine is the 20th post in this string, and I haven't seen LeBron James name once. I think we should give the guy a lot of credit. Six straight years in the finals, pretty impressive. I have to admit, he seems to be doing everything he can to bring the team together and finally win a championship. I think that even includes scuttling Blatt, I didn't like it at the time but looking back maybe it had to be done.
Anyway, I'm a casual fan. I don't enjoy watching the games end to end, but I like seeing the highlights and all the banter on ESPN the next day.
I hope they win it all. I hope LeBron gets all the credit due to him.

I was lucky enough to be at Cleveland's last championship. At 13 I sure didn't think it would be the last. My heart goes out to those that haven't had that experience. Born and raised in Cleveland, I tell folks once a Clevelander always a Clevelander. I also tell them our motto is "If it can go wrong it will".

Looking pretty good right now! Seventh game will be tough but who thought they would be here a couple games ago? I have to admit, not me.
I hope LeBron goes for 60 and they win it all!
