That picture of The Family Guy’s “Cleveland” seems fairly appropriate. Of all the downtrodden sports cities, theirs could be the worst. And that comes from a person in the Twin Cities. But hey, cheer up … Dan Gilbert says a title is on the way! From ESPN.com:

Six years into the LeBron James era, the Cleveland Cavaliers are without an NBA title in a city that has waited 45 years to celebrate any major championship.

Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert believes his team will break the drought.

“We will win a championship for Cleveland, Ohio,” Gilbert said Wednesday in a meeting with reporters. “It’s going to happen. We don’t believe in any of this curse nonsense. We’re going to work very hard, beginning a couple of days ago, to make sure that happens.”

If Red McCombs had said that after the game of which we do not speak against the Falcons (and perhaps he even did say something like that … we just can’t recall), would you have been relieved or in the mood to take a swing? Yeah, thought so.
