Defining a Legacy

Defining a Legacy

Defining a legacy is complicated. As a society, we feel the need to make someones legacy a universal and accepted truth -- not because we strive to agree with each other, but because unity brings comfort when facing the complicated emotions that accompany the death…

After the Tigers signed Prince Fielder a lot of people are already crowning them the AL Central champs, but STOHD.com's Tony Lastoria says hold on a second. What looks good on paper does not always translate to the field.

Too Little, Too Late: Nets Beat Cavs 99-96

Too Little, Too Late: Nets Beat Cavs 99-96

The Cleveland Cavaliers (7-11) comeback effort against the New Jersey Nets (7-13) was too little, too late. That’s not to say that it was impressive, but the effort needed to overcome their lackluster effort through three quarters was simply not possible.

View from the Porch: Fielder's Choice

I used to like, and even root for, Prince Fielder, toting his adorable kid around at the Home Run Derby. He is a passionate guy who was able to escape the shadow of his baseball-playing father. When the first signs of trouble came with their…

We really weren't surprised when news broke that The Plain Dealer had taken Tony Grossi off the Browns beat. When Grossi tweeted last week that Cleveland Browns owner Randy Lerner is "a pathetic figure, the most irrelevant billionaire in the world" it was only a matter of…

5 Trades The Cavs Should Make: No. 2

Here's trade No. 2 - of 5 in all - that the Cavs should pursue this season: The Trade: Acquire center Chris Kaman from New Orleans for Antawn Jamison and Alonzo Gee.

It has been an offseason of shocking signings. First the Miami Marlins went crazy in early December spending a lot of money on three players, and then the Los Angeles Angels came out of nowhere to land the top free agent prize first baseman Albert Pujols. On Tuesday things got even crazier as it was announced that the Detroit T...

11. Let's be realistic: the Tigers' big move to sign Prince Fielder (pictured) has reduced the Indians' chances of winning the AL Central Division this year from 50 percent to, oh, 25 percent. But we still believe the Indians will be in AL wild-card race from Opening Day on - and will end up winning it on the final day...

3 Reasons The Cavs Should Trade Anderson Varejao - Now

3 Reasons The Cavs Should Trade Anderson Varejao - Now

Three reasons the Cavs should trade Anderson Varejao - popular local fixture he may be - right now: 1. Tristan Thompson. He needs to play more minutes. He needs to start. Varejao's departure would make that easier to happen. 2. Varejao is 29. He's easily averaging more points (9.7) and more rebounds per game (10.7) right now...

Filling an unexpected rotation vacancy

With Fausto Carmona out of the Indians' starting rotation mix for the foreseeable future, the Indians now have to make a decision on what to do with the vacancy they have in their starting rotation.

6. Should Peyton Hillis (pictured here) be a member of the Browns in 2012? Sorry, but our answer is still this. 7.

1. Here's hoping former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel does get the Colts coaching gig. We've long thought Tressel would be a solid NFL coach - and he sure makes more sense as an Indy hire than a so-so coaching retread like Brad Childress. 2. Sorry, but it's going to be hard to watch rookie 49ers running back Kendall Hun...
