Cleveland State University

numbers this season after just coming out of Mississippi state. When talking about quarterbacks you need to go back to before the NFL; the NCAA. Out of the last seven Heisman winners- six of them have been quarterbacks. You expect this as they touch the ball on every snap thus picking up more yards. The interesting thing is that these six quarterbacks are all dual-threat. By that I mean…

There is something powerful in the common struggle of believers, that in the face of being neglected and getting so close just to fail, time and again, there is an unbreakable bond of shared history. That the more Cleveland is dismissed, the stronger our commitment gets, the more Cleveland gear we buy, the more games we go to, and the surer we become that this is the year. There grows this ridiculous, unfounded confidence in a team that has little history of success. Hope against all odds.…

While, on the other hand the Cleveland one is about feeling like one as a community with a vibe of pride for our city. Nevertheless, the advertisements have a lot in common and portray the brand. Both communities show togetherness within the diverse cities of Miami and Cleveland. Also, that both cities see LeBron James as a leader and follow his leadership. The culture in both the cities is very…

Baker Mayfield, out of the University of Oklahoma, is the most controversial quarterback in this year’s rookie class. The first overall draft pick, 2017 Heisman Trophy winner, and newest member of the Cleveland Browns, is the subject of many skeptical views. It is true that Mayfield showed signs of inappropriate behavior, such as suggesting that an opposing team, the Kansas Jayhawks, “Suck [his] d***,” and then proceeding to grad the area in question. He served a one game suspension for these…

Sports can have a positive effect on society. They are one of the things that have made me the person I am today. Sports, mostly football and basketball, have shown me how to be a leader, how to stay active, how to persevere no matter how down you are , how it can help people in the community, and the ability to talk to people about the sports I love. Sports have no doubt been an influence for a long time, from ancient times to now. The leadership that comes with sports is a big deal in my…

was still moving. When some think of the fastest players in basketball, you might think of John Wall (Washington Wizards) and Derrick Rose (New York Knicks). When thinking of the toughest players in the NBA, you might think of Lebron James (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Dwight Howard (Atlanta Hawks). But some have forgotten about the one who could do it all. MJ could dribble through two and three players like it was nothing. He could extend his reach over 7 foot tall players and dunk on them…

Baseball during this time period was a newer addition to the American culture. It became called “America’s Pastime,” the game itself was played by everyone, young and old. It was a shock to the American society to find that eight of the 1919 Black Sox players were suspects of accepting money from gamblers to throw the World Series away. It is considered today as one of the biggest scandals in Major League Baseball history, along with the Pete Rose cheating scandal. As for the trial, some parts…

Perfection For about a week I have tried to find the write words to explain to people what it is like to be a perfectionist. How would you describe it? Someone who strives to be perfect. Someone who everyone wants to be. A person who dose not stop until everything in there life is perfect. I only wish that was what perfection is like. You see “At its root, perfectionism isn’t really about a deep love of being meticulous. It’s about fear. Fear of making a mistake. Fear of disappointing others.…
