Roger the Rabid

Does Roger Brown have to be so swarmy in his sports gossip column? It's one thing to be grossly wrong half the time (I can forgive that because his column is sort of like the National Enquirer). But the dude chooses to adopt an extremely negative attitude towards every pro sports figure in this town except perhaps Lebron James and Paul Silas. For instance, he doesn't think the Indians will be very good this season, which is fine, but chooses to embellish his feelings by mocking "THE INDIAN PLAN." Roger, that is pathetic -- the Tribe is the only team in town that appears to even HAVE a plan. They may not be perfectly executing it and perhaps the plan itself is flawed, but frankly I'll take that over the Browns' mysterious front office or the Cavs dumb luck approach.

Oh yeah, and this is perhaps the biggest beef -- Roger, what is up with saying "WE" when you clearly should be saying "I"???? Is there a whole gang of interns and reporters who Roger convenes to make concensus decisions on his column? Ha! If he did that, his column would only be half as long cause any random sampling of sports fans could tell you half of Roger's crap is inaccurate!

And finally, one vote in Brown's favor -- his is the only column to ever read news and notes about local athletes trying to make it big, or bits about former Cleveland stars. It's easily the most worthwhile thing Roger writes about.
