Guardians front office leaving fans to wonder, will the future ever be now?  
Opinion by Tim Shirer
On Monday, the Cleveland Guardians assigned first base prospect Kyle Manzardo to their minor league camp. The power hitting first baseman Manzardo was acquired by the Guardians at the trade deadline for Aaron Civale last season when the team was one and a half games behind the first place Minnesota Twins. Civale at the time was the team’s best pitcher with injuries to Shane Bieber and Triston McKenzie. General Manager Mike Chernoff and team President Chris Antonetti took a lot of heat from the already disgruntled fan base and the media that already treat the team like a stepchild to the Browns.  Click here for the whole story

America's best sport talk show host Amy Lawrence signs off Monday Morning, a big loss for her fans  
Opinion by Tim Shirer

​For the past nine years, Monday through Friday, I have driven my wife to work anywhere 3 am to 5 am. The one constant in those nearly nine years was hitting the button on the radio in my car turning on 92.3. This is the only time of the day I listen to that station. When I hit the button, I heard the voice of, in my opinion the best national radio host currently on the airwaves, Amy Lawrence.  Click here for the whole story

Myles Garrett's trade request leaves Browns fans with one option and one option only  
Opinion by Tim Shirer
With Myles Garrett requesting a trade from the Cleveland Browns, fans of the team are at an important crossroads. I hear from so many Browns fans all the time, “we are the greatest fans in sports.” NOPE!! I hear all the time, “We are the smartest fan base”, they think they are smart because they always come up with the most unrealistic free agent and trade scenario’s and think they are geniuses and everyone else is stupid.  Click here for the whole story
