September 18: Necessary Defiance

Some things will just never change. That's kind of the mentality of the week in the sports world. One thing that's eternal is that of the Cleveland sports curse. The cursed city's last champion (1964) franchise rears its ugly head. Asinine doesn't even do it justice, as the Cleveland Browns trade Trent Richardson to Indianapolis. While the Colts add another young stud, to keep the present and future bright, the Browns ship off their best asset for a first round pick. 

Mike "the Buzz-saw" Asti and George "the Howitzer" Gerbo tee off on the NFL's laughing stock cursed franchise. Mike, our resident heel and Cleveland curse appreciator, soaks up the joy of a truly head scratching move. But Mike also tries to rationalize the move. 

Another recent American tragedy, the shootings at the Navy base in DC, shook the foundation of the country again. Sports can serve as a diversion and galvanizing effect, when they're ALLOWED to be. The Washington Nationals were presented Navy hats to tribute to their fallen fellow DC citizens. They were not permitted to wear them during a game. Should the Nats have fought more for the cause?  What's MLB's problem with such caps? Our guys provide perspective, stemming from a Keith Olbermann rant.  

AL-A-BAM-A, Johnny Manziel, and all that is college football, as well as, another week in the HBS NFL Pick 'Em Challenge conclude another gold quality show. 

You can try to pin them down. You won't succeed. It's the Howitzer and Buzz-saw Show! Defiant to the end, and conquering sports radio, one day, at a time....
