Ever since James Harden landed in Cleveland last season, the Cavaliers have not received the version of him many fans remember. It seems like he’s been throttled down to the point of being Diet Harden. Occasionally, vintage Harden shows up and shows he can still be a difference-maker, even at

Kyle Manzardo and his uncertain future with the Guardians
It was not long ago that Kyle Manzardo was assumed to be a key part of the Cleveland Guardians future. A work in progress? Sure, but still considered part of their foundation. That no longer appears to be the case. With the Guardians making their postseason push last season, they
No QB shakeup in Cleveland, Browns stick with Deshaun Watson
After a day or so of pretending they would make a switch, the Cleveland Browns named their starting quarterback. Deshaun Watson will return to the starting lineup this week as the Browns take on his former team, the Houston Texans. There was some speculation that Cleveland could turn to Shedeur
Jerry Jeudy is coming through in clutch for Browns
It feels somewhat safe to say that Jerry Jeudy’s time with the Cleveland Browns has not gone according to plan. After a faux-breakout in 2024, with 90 catches for 1,229 yards and 4 touchdowns, production has been hard to come by for the former Denver Bronco. Jeudy has just 68 receptions
Cleveland Browns wisely keep QBs at NFL Trade Deadline
Speculation may have been rampant but the Cleveland Browns did the right thing. They kept all their quarterbacks. Currently Cleveland has a quarterback room featuring Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and rookie Taylen Green. Trading Watson was never a realistic option, so cross that possibility out. Green is a
Browns rookies appear to be next highly feared receiving duo
For the longest time, the Cleveland Browns lacked real firepower in the passing game. The talent Cleveland has had at the receiver position has been lacking for far too long. Previous attempts to fix it, while well-intentioned, have failed to adequately do so. The good news is the Browns finally
Parker Messick has bright future in Cleveland Guardians rotation
Under normal circumstances, a second place finish is nothing to be too excited about. It’s an indicator of being good but not quite good enough. That does not apply to Cleveland Guardians rookie pitcher Parker Messick. Messick was the runner-up for the American League Rookie of the Year Award, finishing
The Cleveland Browns have a Jared Verse problem
Raise your hand if you have the same amount of sacks as Jared Verse. Congratulations. This is one of the rare times that a normally outrageous statement (such as this one) is true. With zero sacks on the year, Verse’s goose egg stands out like a sore thumb. The Cleveland
Cavaliers are in trouble following loss to Hornets
A loss to a genuinely bad team without their best player was the last thing the Cleveland Cavaliers needed right now. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened on Monday night. It’s been a rough for the Cavs as of late, and what should have been a get right game against a
More is needed from Shedeur Sanders to force Browns QB change
Few, if any, thought a Cleveland Browns offense quarterbacked by Shedeur Sanders had a legitimate shot of winning on Sunday. It nearly happened. From a pure offensive output perspective, the Browns could not have asked for more from Sanders. Completing 19 of 31 pass attempts for nearly 300 yards and
