Love cleveland sports, tribe, browns, cavs.

#Texans STC Frank Ross got a little emotional when asked what football in Ohio means to him ahead of Sunday’s game vs. the #Browns.

He gave one of the better answers you’ll see on why football is everything in Cleveland—and why it’s such a Browns town. Ross is a Youngstown, Ohio native.

Pepsi could give every one one of their 306k employees a $17,000 bonus and still retain $5,500,000,000 in pure profits. Instead they authorized a $10B stock buyback program and paid $6B in dividends to Wall Street this year.

SORRY, BUT STUDENT LOANS SHOULD HAVE 0% INTEREST.

Why should borrowing $50,000 for an education turn into owing $80,000?

Give people a clear repayment plan to pay back what they actually borrowed.

No interest piling on another $30k.

No years of payments that barely touch the balance.

You borrowed $50k. You should owe $50k.

Education debt shouldn’t grow while you’re trying to pay it off.

I think they need to meet about does this group internally believe in each other. No coach to teach guys to buy into their teammates.

[Daniel Oyefusi @DanielOyefusi]

The Browns haven't allowed a 300-yard passer in 54 straight games, the longest active streak in the NFL.

Texans QB CJ Stroud has four 300-yard passing games this season, tied for the league lead.

UnitedHealth made over $6 billion in profit in just 3 months. Reportedly denying about 1 in 3 claims.
You paid your premium. They denied your claim.
They kept your money. Then they called it a "record quarter." And it's all legal.

Before: Wings were 25 cents each for MNF
Now: Wings are $20 for a Dozen

Before: Beers were $2.50 Drafts for MNF
Now: Beers are $8 for a Bud Light

Before: Bar Open til Midnight
Now: Bar closes at 10pm

Those are 3 of the main reasons

BREAKING: Ohio had 21 local ballot measures on data centers this week.

The data center side lost all 21.

Nationwide it was 40 of 41. Full bans, partial bans, moratoriums, and rules requiring a public vote before anything gets built.

#Cavs Meleek Thomas on stepping in for Sam Merrill, who left the game last night against the 76ers with an elbow injury:

"Just be as good of a connector as Sam is. Sam does so much for this team. When Sam's out there, he's great on defense, he knows his role on offense, he's just a real connector for us. And I know that if I'm stepping in for Sam's spot, in the case I did tonight, I got to be just as punctual, just as precise on what I'm doing and be that same impact for the team."

Not only did Disney pay $0 in federal income taxes last year due to Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” it got a $1.4 billion tax refund after making $12.4 billion in profits.

“Corporation will create jobs if they get tax breaks” is a Big Lie. It never trickles down. Ever.
