Gone Silent…

WHERE DID I GO?

The events over the last 48 hours caused me to go silent for several reasons..  first and foremost the COVID issues with the Browns have now impacted the Head Coach, a Pro Bowl offensive lineman, and one of our star receivers, to only count three members of the roster.  The browns will be without Head Coach Kevin Stefanski, Pro Bowl OL Joel Bitonio, and high impact WR KhaDarel Hodge due to COVID-19 positive tests.  They will also be without DL Olivier Vernon, who Ruptured his Achillies last week against the Steelers.  they will be short-handed, they will be at a disadvantage but this team has faced adversity the entire season and I have no doubt that they will be ready to face whatever happens on Sunday and approach it as they have all season long.

Second, the events today have impacted me greatly, to think I lived to see an attempted coup against the government of the US, instigated by a sitting US President is appalling to me, and I don’t know exactly how to comprehend it at this time.  I am shocked, I am appalled, and I am still trying to comprehend how this could possibly happen.  This was the first time since 1814 during The War of 1812 that the Capitol Building had been compromised and to top it all off…  there are pictures of an individual carrying the Confederate Battle Flag in the halls of the Capitol Building and that disgusts me.  It was ugly, it was the act of domestic terrorists, and those involved need to be held accountable for their actions.

WHEN WILL I BE BACK?

In answer to that question…  to put it simply…  tomorrow… I will write in-depth about the sports world, including NFL Playoffs, NHL season ramping up, NBA and whatever is also on my mind.

 

Have a good night, hug your kids, embrace your loved ones, and most of all…  take care of each other…

Well, here I sit 24+ hours removed from the greatest day in Browns Football in 18 Years…  The Browns pulled out a win against their heated rivals Pittsburgh yesterday to the tune of 24-22, with a defensive stand on a 2-point conversion and a 3rd down run by Baker Mayfield to seal it.  The Browns finish 11-5 and have the 6th seed in the playoffs.  Ironically they have to face those same Pittsburgh Steelers next week in Heinz Filed, Sunday night at 8:15 in prime-time on NBC.  If you watch the show every week you know that I have been a Browns fan for over 45 years and have grown up and gone through adulthood with disappointment after disappointment in seeing the Browns lose while being close to the promised land.  I have witnessed the drive, the fumble, red right 88 (YES, I’m that old) Art Model moving the franchise to Baltimore, and yes, 21 years of the rebirth of the Browns since 1999, where for the most part they have been in the cellar and have barely competed over those years.  The reason I celebrate now is that they made the playoffs, and that is an accomplishment in and of itself, not because it has been 18 years, but because the franchise looks to be moving in the right direction for the first time in years, and  I am excited about the future.  So, let me enjoy my moment for the next 6 days and we shall see what happens from here.

So with that off my chest, welcome to the very first blog post of the new site, sportsnerd.show.  This website is dedicated to the branding of a weekly Livestream myself and three of my good friends do on Sunday Nights across multiple platforms, FaceBook, Twitter(Periscope), Twitch, and Vimm.tv.  Vimm.TV is on the Hive Blockchain and is built around cryptocurrency, a venture I have been involved in for two years.  We spend 90 mins talking sports, all sports, and it has been my baby for nearly 8 years…  The problem tho is… the audience…  we really don’t have one except for 8 or 10 of our devoted fans who have stuck with us through thick and thin for all of those years.  We have a blast each and every week and this time of year is the best for us because we are all die-hard NFL football fans and with the playoffs beginning this week, we are all hyped up about the run to the Super Bowl in Tampa.  It’s been a weird year because of COVID, I have a full-time job with a retirement solutions company and have been working remotely from home since March.  I am blessed and lucky in that I have not lost any income because of the company’s flexibility to be able to have the entire employee population work from home, so in that, I am blessed.

My content will be sports heavy, to include all football, NFL & NCAA, NHL (Go Bolts!!), MLB, and yes…  NBA… Sometimes I will split off and talk about pop culture and other news in the world that interests me, but the majority will be sports content.  I will provide frequent content and will interact with anyone that wants to have a discussion.  As an old sports fan, I can cover nearly 5 decades of sports and this will be my legacy, discussing sports with my friends, interacting with other sports fans, and hopefully make an impact of some sort before it is all said and done.  I am not sure right now where this will take me, but it will be a journey.  Most of all, I invite everyone to check out our show Sunday Nights at 7 pm Eastern time in the US on Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, and Vimm…  I promise you will come out of it with a smile on your face.  In the meantime, I ask that you like and share the site and join us this weekend…

Tonight was a GREAT show.  Despite my rambling Monologue, and the near tears I was in we had a blast.  We even went over our normal 90 minutes.

we discussed the Browns making the playoffs for the fist time in nearly 20 years, the Bills taking the #2 seed in the playoffs, and we even discussed a bit of NCAA football.

A lot of content, a lot of trash talk, Eliot didn’t like my opening, Jon was strutting, Ken was in mourning, and I refused to be denied my moment in the sun as the Cleveland Browns have made the playoffs for the first time since 2002.

It was a fun, fast-paced show with plenty of commentary by the panel, and at the end, a new venture by yours truly, the new website – www.sportsnerd.show – bring a new site and integration with Twitter, Facebook, and of course the Hive Blockchain.  ENJOY!!!!
