I’ve been in a state of shock since the Cavs/Celtics series started, and practically went into a coma when it ended. I was going to drown this blog in my sorrows, but instead opted to rebuild it. Like a phoenix, it rises again, this time in tribute to all those who – year-in, year-out – deal with the stress and heartbreak that comes from being a Cleveland sports fan. Those from the big media get their jollies from kicking us while we’re down, but we persevere. Hopefully, this blog will bring humor and stress-relief to all of us Clevelanders. Time to see what we’ve got.

The first half of the 2010 All Star Game was what one would expect after all these years. The stars came out, goofed around and put up almost 80 points per team, and it was all punctuated by an overly-garish half-time show. I immediately discovered I wasn’t the show’s target demographic when my first thought was to hop online and do a  search for the show’s performers. Unfortunately, Googling “who the hell is on my TV” turned up a blank (well, not a blank, but nothing useful) I found the performers in an article from tomorrow. No, I’m not kidding. There’s a blog post, listed as being from February 15th, 2010 explaining who’s in the show. This has been a surreal experience.

I hope that the second half of the All Star Game also follows it’s usual trend, that being that play tightens up as the stars’ competitive spirits take over. I’ll be back once the game is over.
