Conjure up feelings of self-pity (not being able to resign C.C., etc), then whip up a bad guy (Dolan) to blame.profdlphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049886083967324598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-27703556676821466702010-07-18T22:51:58.576-04:002010-07-18T22:51:58.576-04:00Thanks for linking that LeBron article.

You would think playing in Cleveland would be a dream. No media pressure at all. If he pulled that stuff in NY the media there would be relentless. I particularly like his thought that Cleveland fans wouldn't care so much if he left town on national tv. Talk about an ignorant, pampered athlete.<br /><br />Speaking of media, how come Hoynes is such a tool? I think you should ask him to come on Smoke Signals and find out why he never admits that the Dolans have had the five highest payrolls in Indians history and that the farm system is stocked with more good to great players at any time in our lives. I get the impression that he thinks if only the Indians had signed Thome, Ramirez and Belle we would have won 100 games ore year for a decade. I would love to hear what he really thinks because his answers and articles suck.<br /><br />(I don't know why I am obsessed with this. Maybe I am just amazed that a home town reporter could so openly hate the team he covers and so obviously believes the Dolans are the second coming of Ted Stepien.)Eliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515173441876386256noreply@blogger.com
