This blog is not the place for commentary. Just the news please. That’s why there is a spot to leave comments at the bottom of each post. This commentary then is meant only to be a teaser for comment you can tack on at the bottom.
The big news in Cleveland sports today is the trade which brought Andtwan James of the Washington Wizards to the Cavaliers and the 118-116 loss to the Denver Nuggets in a duel between LeBron James and Caxrmelo Anthony.
One TV anchor, not a sports guy, already was saying. “Ah, haw. You traded Zydrunas Ilgauskas and already the Cavs are losing.”
Many sports fans also are also fearful that the loss of sports columnist Pat Mcmanamon at the Beacon Journal will cause a loss in reading material.
So today seems a good day for a reality check.
Mcmanamon is now working for AOL Fan House, but you can still read him online at
http://www.fanhouse.com/staff/pat-mcmanamon/
Today he has two columns. One is headlined
Cavaliers Confident after James trade
The other:
Anthony, Nuggets Give LeBron and Cavs a Dose of Reality
Marla Ridenour, who seems to have inherited Pat’s space on the BJ, chimed in with these thoughts:
“But no one will care about Wednesday's trade for Washington Wizards' All-Star forward Antawn Jamison if the Cavs aren't riding down Euclid Avenue this June in a championship parade that could upstage the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl Mardi Gras. No one will care if LeBron James leaves town. And it might take a championship to keep James from leaving town.”
It seems appropriate that a sports writer named Fortune also got involved.
The BJ’s Jonas Fortune writes about the vacant black frame, where Zydrunas Ilgauskas' photo used to be positioned, that seemed to catch the eye of all who walked past.
And also, George Thomas writes acbout Antawn Jamison relishing a big opportunity.

Is there a way to allow ONLY comments where people give their real names? You should be able to stand behind your opinion. Thanks.
I agree with Johm. Use your name people, There is no need to hide.
"Anonymous" and/or unattributed/unsourced quotes/comments have been the curse of our profession for all time. It's one of many reasons journalists are held in such low regard. If I were policing this blog site, I wouldn't accept "anonymous" under any circumstances.
I agree. Anonymous posts are for the cowardly and weak.
