  • Joe Banner sounds good but will have to prove it for Browns fans

    Like him, trust him, or not, Joe Banner has said all the right things so far as CEO of the Cleveland Browns. His Q&A with Clark Judge of CBS yesterday was just more proof of Banner’s self-confidence and willingness to espouse the Cleveland Browns as a defining project in his career and life. I can remember a time when an interview like that would have had the Cleveland Browns fan base absolutely giddy. I don’t get the sense that Browns fans have that in them anymore. Joe Banner’s even been perfect in not asking for the full faith and support of Cleveland Browns fans.

    A newly discovered strain of bacteria found in Canada's far north has increased the odds of finding microbial life on other planets or moons within our solar system, say the Canadian research team. The team discovered the microbes under permafrost on Ellesmere Island in the far reaches of the Canadian Arctic in temperatures colder than they'd ever thought possible. The existence of these microbes not only sets a new record for extreme environment microbial life on Earth, but also raises questions about the potential for microbial life to evolve in other extreme climates beyond Earth, such as…

  • Does Any City Have Worst Teams Than Cleveland

    admin
    10 May 2013 | 5:00 pm
    It takes a lot of love to be a diehard Cleveland sports fan. No city has ever had its teams consistently disappoint its fans as the poor city of Cleveland has. Here is a look at some of the ways that Cleveland has the worst sports teams in the country. First of all, just look at the Cleveland Indians. They are a baseball franchise that is so perpetually bad that they were picked to be the feature team in the movie Major League. The point of choosing them was that everyone would automatically associate the Indians with a losing ball club.Check out this link here. Then there are the Cavaliers.

    Cleveland sports fans never seem to be able to catch a break. Their beloved Browns haven’t made the playoffs in over 10 years. The Indians haven’t been good for quite a while, either. LeBron James might go down as the greatest player ever to play basketball, but he left before bringing a championship to the Cleveland Cavaliers. John Elway engineered an amazing comeback referred to as “The Drive” against the Cleveland Browns in the 1987 AFC Championship game. Without that unbelievable display of talent and guts, the Browns may have won the Super Bowl that year. It seems…

    When you google the phrase “Cleveland Sports Championships,” the first word that you see is “drought.” This is certainly a sad fact for fans of the Cleveland teams and the nightmare has yet to end. One of the best chances for the city to ever break the longstanding drought was when LeBron James seemed to be destined to finally bring a championship home. He grew up near Cleveland and was marked to be the savior that will finally bring home the hardware. The city’s hearts were broken once again when James made “the decision” and decided that he would…

  • Why Cleveland Sports Are Terrible All The Time

    Those who look at Cleveland sports have a tendency to think that every team in the Cleveland area is terrible all the time. The thing is, though, people relate not winning championships, which they have been good at since 1964, with being “terrible all the time”. The thing is, though, since the Browns hoisted the NFL Championship in 1964, Cleveland sports teams have not been as terrible as you may think. Starting with the Browns, while they have never been to the Super Bowl (all their championships came before the Super Bowl was born), they did make three Conference Finals in the…

Remember “The Drive” when Elway led his Broncos to the Super Bowl on the games final drive? The Browns were on the tail end of that. And of course the less talk of “The Decision” the better. The fact is, everyone who talks about Cleveland being a sports town that is cursed, well, they may have a point. A city that last won a championship in 1964 when the…

Also of note, Dermody is a slacker in the Malkmus tradition. On the surface it seems he ain’t even tryin’ — One can hear the chuckle of a man unprepared for the tape at the start of “Fakin’ NYC,” the guitars are conspicuously out of tune, and Dermody isn’t particularly concerned with singing in key, either.

After all, Isis stands along side Neurosis and Godflesh as one of the most influential metal bands of the 21st Century. The Deftones, meanwhile, would have to be the considered the more commercialized version of a most influential metal band. Once heavy music fans got their first taste of Palms via the single, “Patagonia,” I wonder how many reacted…

    Diarrhea Planet is a horrible name. Horrible. Try to look up one of their videos on YouTube and YouTube’s secret algorithm may suggest you want to watch a video of a kid with explosive diarrhea at a swimming pool.

  • The Rockometer: Trouble Will Find Me by The National

    20 May 2013 | 8:13 am
                    The National High VioletTrouble Will Find Me 4AD The National’s High Violet Trouble Will Find Me is a patient album requiring a patient listener. The pay-offs don’t occur as they did in the past when vocalist Matt Beringer is at his most agitated. Rather, they happen when he and the band are at their most somber and most subdued; When the horns keyboards build to a smooth crescendo during the introduction of “Bloodbuzz, Ohio;” “Demons,” As understated strings occupy the fringe of the mix in “Lemonworld;”…

  • Play Me: “Sonic Pearl” by Destruction Unit

    Bill Lipold
    16 May 2013 | 12:26 pm
    Destruction Unit’s “Sonic Pearl,” is the type of track which got all stoked about these noisenik punks in the first place. It sounds like breaking things, with rhythm and guitars. Their album, the Void LP released earlier this year, unfortunately, was only half about breaking things and half about wanking to feedback. My message to Destruction Unit for the new album they have planned on Sacred Bones later this year is a simple one: More breaking things and less wanking, and your career will progress splendidly, with much adulation and much wreckage. Shit, I bought the…

    Hi guys! I'm writing this from sunny Las Vegas where I'm attending the International Council of Shopping Center's (ICSC) 2013 RECon convention on behalf of my client, Cleveland's own Forest City. I've been here since Sunday morning and surprisingly I am up at the casino (thanks to blackjack), up in the lbs (thanks to all the catering) and down in the sleep hours (thanks to all the fun). No complaints from me though - it's been such a great industry event and I'm spoiled by an awesome client. But that's not the point of this post, the point is to tell you who won the $100 gift certificate to…

    24 May 2013 | 5:43 am
    At the May 13, Cleveland City Council meeting the members passed a resolution in support of HR 1213, the Common Sense Housing Investment Act of 2013.  The goal is to get all of our local Congressional members to endorse this campaign.  The United for Homes campaign under the direction of the National Low Income Housing Coalition worked over the last few years to develop a strategy to fund the National Housing Trust.  Congress created the trust, but the funding source collapsed as the 2008 housing bubble burst.  For more on this post go here...

  • Missing Persons Website a Needed Improvement

    21 May 2013 | 5:11 pm
    Back in 2009, NEOCH wrote about the gruesome discovery of 11 women in the home of a serial killer.  These women were in effect homeless women who made the fateful decision to reject shelter and instead found a home with a predator.  Then in 2011, a report was issued by the City of Cleveland in response to the perception that the City dropped the ball on preventing the deaths of 11 women on Imperial Ave.  The missing persons report (click on the pdf in the middle of the page) provided a series of recommendations for improving missing persons searches.

    Jacob Rosen
    24 May 2013 | 3:03 pm
    Anthony Lima and Dustin Fox hosted University of Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari on their show this afternoon. The segment was great and packed with lots of intriguing Cavaliers draft fodder. But how the 54-year-old Calipari started off the segment — when prodded if he thinks Cleveland would be making a mistake if they don’t pick former Wildcat Nerlens Noel No. 1 overall — stood out the most: “Chris Grant and his crew are the most thorough people that I’ve seen,” he said. “No disrespect to anyone else in the league, all I know is I’ve…

    The Browns today announced that they have signed seventh round pick, offensive linemen Garrett Gilkey. Gilkey was a left tackle at Chadron State University, but has been working at guard for the Browns during OTAs. “The Cleveland Browns today signed offensive lineman Garrett Gilkey to a four-year contract, the team announced. Selected in the seventh round (227th overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft, Gilkey appeared in 37 games with 34 starts at Chadron State University (2009-12), where he served as the Eagles’ left tackle.

  • Cavalier NBA Draft Film Room: Otto Porter

    Kirk
    24 May 2013 | 9:00 am
    In this week’s installment of the film room, we give you the other half of the two most likely candidates for the Cavaliers’ selection at number one in the 2013 draft. Of course, when I gave you the Nerlens Noel film room nearly two weeks ago, I didn’t think it was very likely he’d be a Cavalier. Now, it’s probably the most likely scenario. But, I will say that Otto Porter Jr. makes it a very interesting debate in my mind, and the Georgetown forward may just be my pick if I were Chris Grant. Let’s take a look at what others are saying about Porter first.

    Craig Lyndall
    24 May 2013 | 8:00 am
    Like him, trust him, or not, Joe Banner has said all the right things so far as CEO of the Cleveland Browns. His Q&A with Clark Judge of CBS yesterday was just more proof of Banner’s self-confidence and willingness to espouse the Cleveland Browns as a defining project in his career and life. I can remember a time when an interview like that would have had the Cleveland Browns fan base absolutely giddy. I don’t get the sense that Browns fans have that in them anymore. Joe Banner’s even been perfect in not asking for the full faith and support of Cleveland Browns fans.

    24 May 2013 | 7:40 am
    While we now know the Cavaliers have the top pick in this year’s draft, we still have to wait until June 27 to find out what they do with the pick. While most pundits and analysts have Kentucky big man Nerlens Noel circled in as the pick, we know from experience that Cleveland Cavaliers GM Chris Grant doesn’t make his picks based on what the “consensus” says is the right move. With that being said, and with so many options in front of the Cavaliers, expect to hear a lot of rumors about different scenarios, trades, players, etc being considered with the first pick. So…
