This is a weekly
series that will include a brief summary of the latest articles that have been
published on The Tribulation Times Herald-Exhorter. Hopefully, this will encourage you to go
check out some truly outstanding articles that have been published by a number
of truly outstanding authors. Moreover,
I hope this will also encourage you to want to become a contributing member/author,
as well. The “Hear Ye! Hear Ye!” site explanation near the top of
the side-bar should answer many of your questions. Yes, this series also included an “SOS! (Spam
On Saturdays)” segment before, but it
just wasn’t working for me. Therefore,
that will be replaced by a republishing of one of the Trib articles.
[WhiteHeart Wednesday] has a video and the lyrics for Black Is White.
[Witty Banter Should Be Witty] contains another rant about the quality of local
newscasts in the Springfield, Missouri.
[Politics in Connecticut] is from G.D. Dooley with a question about how one can tell when
a candidate truly has a heart for God.
No,
this is not about the city being [the mistake by the lake]. For those days are gone.
Nonetheless,
the misery still continues for the fans of at least two out of three major
sports franchises located in [Cleveland], and it is arguable that it is just as
bad for the fans of the [Cleveland Indians].
For it has been many a moon since the last time they won the [World Series], but they did play in three during the [90s].
Alas,
the fans of the [Cleveland Cavaliers] and the [Cleveland Browns] have even less
to cheer about, which I place most of the blame squarely on the management of
the teams. For the Cavaliers are owned
by [Dan Gilbert], who acts like he truly [owns] his players, which is reflected
in their play.
Now
comes the news that the Cleveland Browns have been bought by [Jimmy Haslim],
who is a very enthusiastic [Pittsburgh Steelers] fan, which would be like a
diehard fan of the [Dallas Cowboys] buying the [Washington Redskins], and it
will surely lead to even greater depths of mediocrity for the Browns. For every move that Haslim could make to improve
the Browns would eventually hurt his beloved Steelers—especially with them
playing in the same conference division.
No,
nothing personal—just business cannot be used to explain this away. For owning a professional sports franchise
has to more than just a business decision or you will wind up with a team like
the...well…the Browns were, which I would think that the NFL would want to
guard against at all costs for the good of the entire league.
Of
course, maybe Haslim can keep his heart separated from his head without making
too much of a mess out of things? For he
is currently the CEO of [Flying J], which is in direct competition with
[Pilot], which is the company that his father founded.
No,
I am not buying it, and it makes me a little angry to even be given the choice
to. For back during the early days of my
over-the-road trucking career, a wonderful group of diehard Browns fans adopted
me for a couple of days while a [lake-effect snow storm] shut down all travel
in northeastern Ohio, and ever since, I have had a soft-spot for them. Not enough to have me cheering for the Browns
over my beloved Cowboys, of course, but one has to respect the devotion of
someone who would stand in line while being covered by freezing rain just to
buy a ticket to go see a team that was more than likely going to lose the game
and [break] the hearts of their fans in the process.
Hey,
maybe Haslim buying the Browns might actually be a good thing? For it might not be long before the Browns
are so obviously bad that there won’t be any expectations of them ever winning
a game. Hence, no more gut-wrenching
losses!
