(CLEVELAND, OH) - On Thursday the Wickliffe Blue Devils were scheduled to host the Trinity Trojans at Coulby Park in Wickliffe. The game was canceled, and Wickliffe instead played the Rhodes High School Rams at Talty Field on Cleveland’s west side. Talty Field was donated by the Cleveland Guardians as part of the Jim Thome All-Star Complex. The matchup saw the Blue Devils in their first game of the season take on the Rhodes Rams (0-1). The Rams did the job making less mistakes than the young Blue Devils taking home the win 9-5. Click here for the whole story
I have this friend
Opinion by Tim Shirer
In 1975 I met this friend. I only saw them on television most of the time, a couple of times a week. Occasionally, I would see them on TV on Monday night that was a big deal, because my friend was not all that good at what they did at the time I met them. But for some reason what they did was something I fell in love with as soon as I could understand the thing they did. I even tried to do it in my backyard or at times with other friends at some parks growing up in Wickliffe. Click here for the whole story
A large number of Browns fans have sold their souls for wins defending Deshaun Watson
Opinion by Tim Shirer
In just under one month the NFL regular season will begin and if NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has his way Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson will not be part of the festivities.
The range of emotions I have witnessed from Browns fans has been from “This is a horrible trade; I don’t want this guy representing our city.” To “The women are liars, Watson is my QB, better than being a Baker Bro.” Click here for whole story

ATTENTION NATIONAL MEDIA & BIG MARKET TEAMS: The Cleveland Guardians have arrived to spoil your party
Opinion by Tim Shirer
When the 2022 baseball season began and all the “experts” made their predictions for the MLB, all of them, every single one dismissed the Cleveland Guardians. How can they win, they have a low payroll? How can they win they don’t have Francisco Lindor anymore? How can they win the Chicago White Sox are great? How can they win the Minnesota Twins are much better? How can they win the Detroit Tigers spent a lot of money and made some good trades in the offseason? How can they win the Royals have Bobby Witt, Jr. now. How can they win they had a quiet winter, they made no big trades for outfielders and signed no free agents, their biggest signing was Luke Maile? How can they win, they are the youngest team in baseball? Click here for the whole story
The Cleveland media once again trying to diminish a Cleveland team that isn't the Browns
Opinion by Tim Shirer
Does the Cleveland media always have to diminish everything the Cleveland Cavaliers and Cleveland Guardians do? The latest thing is this, “This is the first playoff appearance the Cavs had had since 1998 without LeBron James.” Putting fourth two narratives, 1) that the franchise stinks overall and 2) That LeBron James was so good and nobody else mattered therefore the championship he won here doesn’t really count because he was on the team.
