Detroit Lions: Tatum Bell Steals Bags of Rudi Johnson

(Author’s Note: The picture of Joey Harrington to the right has absolutely nothing to do with this story, other than the fact that the silky fingered pianist and purported quarterback once donned the silver and blue. However, it is hilarious, and this story concerns the Lions, so there it is.)

Apparently, while Rudi Johnson was meeting with Matt Millen in Detroit to finalize his new contract, Johnson’s bags were stolen. The culprit?

It includes all of his big game performances, clutch TD passes against top-ranked teams, and the leadership qualities he has displayed in leading Purdue to Big Ten titles and BCS appearances.

If you did not get smacked in the face with the sarcasm of that last statement, you’re a moron. If that were actually true, Purdue promoting Painter’s big game performances, it would be a pretty short DVD. The only one “painting a masterpiece” in this story is me while I was taking the Browns to the Super Bowl as I was reading. … Continue Reading

Cleveland Indians: 10 Biggest Losers

by Jerod Morris

I received a message this evening from MSF.com Featured Author Ryan Russell informing me that he would be writing a Cleveland Indians blog tomorrow. There is no chance that I will allow the first post about the Cleveland 4thplacers to be positive.

So, to ensure that this does not occur, I am posting my own Cleveland Indians blog. There is so much venom, so much hatred, so much loathing that I feel for this entire franchise I could write for hours. I finally decided that the theme of my post would be the first thing that comes to mind when I think of the Cleveland Indians. That was easy. One very simple, accurate word:

Losers.

So without further adieu, I give you the Top 10 Losers in the last 15 years of Cleveland Indians sucking, in no particular order:
