This “We Are Cleveland” Video Is Fantastic And Will Calm You Down After The Cavs Game 1 Loss

 

That’s it. That’s the stuff. I needed something to calm me down this morning and this did it. I was going to write a recap and bitch about Lue’s rotations, JR’s disappearing act, turnovers, LeBron’s minutes, Channing Frye’s lack of minutes, and defensive strategies till I was blue in the face. But I’m not. It’s only one game and I’m strangely calm and strangely optimistic even after a 15 point drubbing. Winning an NBA Finals series was never going to be easy. Especially vs this Warriors team. The Cavs haven’t been down in a playoff series in a year so we’re all feeling a little shook right now.

Scrolling through Twitter yesterday I saw that Andre Knott posted this and I made it a point to watch this early in the morning today. Pretty freaking good. That ending, man…

This was made by the original “Believeland” director Kris Belman (who made More Than A Game). I hope that a longer version gets released because I really enjoyed this one.

Any Cleveland video that plays Roc Boys is a video I can endorse.

Ken Carman disagrees with the national narrative about the Cavs

Link to the audio HERE

Hey, national narrative about the Cavs:

There’s nothing, and I mean nothing in the world I love more than table-pounding Ken. It’s by far the best Ken there is. Better than self-deprecating Ken, redneck childhood stories Ken and even “Good God” after a questionable Lima comment Ken. When he starts screaming but the audio actually gets quieter because he’s storming around the studio nowhere near his mic, that’s why you tune in every day. The type of vitriolic tirade that you only get from a guy who was born and raised here. He gets it.

Mr. Carman. Your place at the table.

No One In Cleveland Is Hotter Right Now Than Stipe Miocic

After Stipe Miocic knocked the piss out of Fabricio Werdum late Saturday night in front of Werdum’s Brazilian crowd, he returned to Cleveland as the world champion and is the toast of the town right now. No one (not even LeBron or any Cavs player) is having a better couple of days than Stipe. I honestly can’t remember one person taking the city by storm like this (aside from LeBron in July of 2014)

He was greeted at Hopkins Airport when he returned on Monday. Pretty cool  that you can see how much winning and bringing the belt back to his hometown mean to him.

 

He then took some BP at Progressive Field yesterday and decided to mash and hit a few bombs over the left field wall for good measure. NBD.

Hey Dolans, here’s your right handed power bat. And oh, I don’t think anyone on the team will get Jose Bautista’d if Stipe is sitting in the dugout with an Indians jersey on, just sayin.

 

Then he ventured over to the Cavs game to pump up the crowd in a Delly jersey of course

 

And today he’s at the Browns OTA practice

 

 

Stipe has turned into a bona fide rockstar in this city all within the past 4 days. He seems like a genuinely good dude so I’ll be rooting hard for him (even if he did go to North and I went to South but whatever)

If I had to power rank “The King of Cleveland” right now it’d be:

  1. LeBron
  2. Stipe
  3. Lil Kev
