Cleveland doesn’t suck! Cleveland doesn’t suck!

Flats East Bank… RNC Convention… Cavs winning the title… East 4th… Super Pimp! We’re on the come up, baby!

This video has been out there for awhile and is made by the Downtown Cleveland Alliance (same people who made this gem last year)

I’ve already watched the top video 7 times. I love this shit. Gonna have that “Ooh ooh, oh oh oh” stuck in my head for the foreseeable future and I’m pretty OK with that, that song was fire.

Just like last year’s video, this one gets a

I Went On A Podcast And Didn’t Totally Embarrass Myself

Listen here

So as some of you may know I went and chopped it up with Craig Lyndall from Waiting For Next Year (the OG’s of the Cleveland sports blog scene) last night on his podcast. We talked about sports media today, blogs, media in Cleveland, “OIC” stuff, and the Cavs.

Full admission- I was nervous as hell and truly thought I would turn into a mute once the pod started rolling. Thankfully by some act of God I was able to speak and have actual words fall out of my mouth.

Go check it out.

I’ve listened to the first 10 minutes so far and all I could think of was this line from Beanie from Old School as he’s wrapping up his speech at Frank’s wedding:

I’m not a talker. I’m not a talker.

Big S/O and thanks to Craig for having me. If I ever get invited back on I’ll be sure to bring way more hot takes.

PS- Really need to work on not mumbling “yeah”  every time Craig says something. C’mon Mike, act like you’ve been there before.

This Week In Cleveland Craigslist Missed Connections

After a 12 day hiatus we’re back with a vengeance this week with our Cleveland Craiglist Missed Connections weekly feature. Searching the depths of Craigslist to bring you the finest missed connections postings from the finest Northeast Ohioans on the Internet. Some posts are looking for love, some are looking to hook up, none of them will work.

Let’s go

Continuing our theme of “gas station or convenience store postings.” I’ll tell ya, these NE Ohio gas stations must be a breeding place for love or something because after sifting through these posts I’d say about 40% of these occur in line at a gas station.

BRO. You’re posting about something from several YEARS ago?? Do you know how unlikely it is for someone to search Craigslist and make a connection with someone they saw an hour ago? But you think the random girl at Barley House (I think) will somehow remember that she smiled at you in 2012?!? This one has to be fake. I cannot believe someone as stupid as this exists.


2cl5

Haha. Dork. Take your poetry somewhere else you weirdo.


2cl6

Could this guy be any more clueless? Here, let this Family Guy clip break it down for you:

I don’t know what you guys were talking about in regards to Playboy but I’d sure like to get your thoughts on their decision to stop showing nudity.


2cl8

“Would definitely kiss you.” Uh, thanks?


2cl9

“Hey you’re a fucking awful at playing the instrument that you probably spend hours upon hours practicing and devoting your life to… wanna go on a date?”

MORE GAS STATIONS. Love this dude just casually slipping in “import sports car.” Hey, if I had an import sports car and didn’t drive a POS with no air conditioning and a radio that doesn’t get FM channels, I’d reference “my import sports car” so much it’d make your head spin.


3cl2

“Just the right amount of junk in the trunk.” Sure dude, let’s traumatize your kids once they find their dad hooking up with their teammate’s mom in the soccer field bathrooms.


3cl3

Sexy cougars eating donuts? Now I’m intrigued.


3cl4

Hey fucker, I’m trying to have a weekly blog feature here. Don’t let the Craigslist posters become self aware.


3cl5

Oh what the fuck.


And on that note, we’re out until next week.
