Anyone who reads the Cleveland papers knows that the PD’s sports page is terrible. For a long time people have wondered how the largest paper in the area could cover the area’s sports teams so poorly and keep employed such lousy columnists (Livingston and Shaw) and now it looks like we have the beginnings of an answer.
Enter Cleveland Scene, the local indie paper who managed to get a PD Sports Dept employee to pen an anonymous blog about what it’s like on the inside. Anonymous calls the Sports Dept a “glowing bastion of ineptitude” and calls Livingston and Shaw “prima donna/big ego/my crap-don’t-stink columnists”. It gets better so make sure to click the link to read all the juicy details.

This NBA offseason has been a trying experience.
The biggest news story of the summer was the Kobe Bryant saga, a bad soap opera masquerading as a Greek drama that saw Kobe try to weasel his way out of Los Angeles. The biggest story right now is Shawn Marion feeling like the forgotten child in Phoenix. In between there was a story about AK47 wanting to leave the NBA for Russia. And occupying the local airwaves is are ies Sasha Pavlovic wanting to ditch the NBA for Europe and Anderson Varejao holding out for $10M/yr.
Yes, this has been a tough summer for NBA fans, especially Cavs fans, and it just got a little worse. Marc Stein has unveiled his first NBA power rankings of the season and lo! the Boston Celtic are second most powerful team in the league. I guess KG and Jesus Shuttlesworth are the one true cure for all that ails.
Where are the Cavs?
Seventh.
Here’s the top 10:
#1 San Antonio Spurs
#2 Boston Celtics
#3 Phoenix Suns
#4 Houston Rockets
#5 Detroit Pistons
#6 Dallas Mavericks
#7 Cleveland Cavaliers
#8 Utah Jazz
#9 Golden State Warriors
#10 Chicago Bulls
Hey! At least the Indians are in the playoffs!
