Leadoff with Lee 1.9.15 #Browns #HOF #Olympics

By @cleeverizon

- Boston will represent the United States in its bid for the opportunity to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the United States Olympic Committee announced today. The decision followed a spirited discussion and more than one round of voting. Ultimately, the Boston bid received the unanimous endorsement of the USOC’s board of directors.

The U.S. last hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 1996 (Atlanta). St. Louis hosted in 1904 and Los Angeles held the Games in both 1932 and 1984.

- The Browns will be in need of a new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. The Browns will be parting ways with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. Also, the club has relieved quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains of his duties.

The 35-year-old Shanahan and 34-year-old Loggains were with the club for just one season. The Browns finished 23rd in yards gained and 27th in points scored in 2014, and the club’s QB play was too often a weakness, with rookie Johnny Manziel’s subpar performance a disappointment.

The news of Shanahan’s departure comes two days after the Plain Dealer reported Shanahan was open to leaving the franchise because of tension between the coaching staff and front office. Kyle Shanahan had a interview with the Buffalo Bills for their head coaching vacancy on Thursday.

If Shanahan doesn’t land a head coaching gig, it’s possible he could land elsewhere as a coordinator, especially if his father, Mike Shanahan, gets a head coaching job. Other possibilities would be for Kyle Shanahan to join the New York Jets or the San Francisco 49ers as a offensive coordinator.

Charlie Weis and former Bears head coach Marc Trestman have shown interest in becoming the Browns offensive coordinator.

- Newly acquired Cavs center Timofey Mozgov will change his number as #25 is retired (Mark Price). He will wear #20 like his father, a Soviet handball player.

- The Pro Football Hall of Fame finalists were announced. You can see the list below and find more information on the NFL's website here.

The semi-finalists include:

Morten Andersen, kicker (1982-2004, 2006-2007) NO, ATL, KC, NYG, MIN
Jerome Bettis, running back (1993-2005) STL, PIT
Tim Brown, wide receiver (1988-2004) OAK, TB
Don Coryell, head coach (1973-77, 1978-1986) SD
Terrell Davis, running back (1995-2001) DEN
Tony Dungy, head coach (1996-2008) TB, IND
Kevin Greene, defensive end/linebacker (1985-1999) STL, PIT, CAR, SF
Charles Haley, defensive end/linebacker (1986-1996; 1999) SF, DAL
Marvin Harrison, wide receiver (1996-2008) IND
Jimmy Johnson, coach (1989-1993, 1996-1999) DAL, MIA
John Lynch, safety (1993-2007) TB, DEN
Orlando Pace, offensive tackle (1997-2009) STL, CHI
Bill Polian, contributor (1978-1982, 1984-2011) KC, BUF, CAR, IND
Junior Seau, linebacker (1990-2009) SD, MIA, NE
Will Shields, guard (1993-2006) KC
Mick Tingelhoff, center (1962-1978) MIN
Kurt Warner, quarterback (1998-2009) STL, ARZ, NYG, OAK
Ron Wolf, contributor (1963-1974, 1976-2001) OAK, NYJ, TB, GB

Leadoff with Lee 8.3.14

Ohio had a lot going on yesterday especially Cleveland, Akron and Canton. I don't even know where to start but let's go here:

-The NFL Hall of Fame in Canton inducted 7 new members that included 7 time Pro Bowler Micheal Strahan, who was the 2001 NFL Defensive MVP and recorded 22.5 sacks which is a NFL single season record. For the first time a punter made the Hall, and he goes by the name of Ray Guy. He was drafted by the Oakland Raiders. He was a 7 time Pro Bowler and 23rd pick of the 1973 NFL draft. The line of the night went to John Madden who said "Punters are football players too. Ray Guy was a football player that punted". Now in my own mind, I was saying "Hell nah I'm just a football player who kicks a ball, makes millions and doesn't get tackled". Even though punters didn't make millions back then,
but y'all get the point.

-Claude Humphrey. This one I don't understand. He is a 6 time Pro Bowler, 2 time first team All-Pro and 1969 Defensive Player of the Year for the Atlanta Falcons. I just don't see the credentials/stats to back it up but NEEEEEXT!

-Arizona Cardinal Aeneas Williams. Now when I look at cornerbacks, I compare them all to Deion Sanders. But he was a 8 time AFC pro bowler and 3 time first team All-Pro. He recorded 55 interceptions and 9 touchdowns in his career with the Cardinals and St. Louis Rams.

-Derrick Brooks was a beast! 11 Pro Bowls, 5 time All-Pro linebacker out of Florida State that played for the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay. Great pass rusher, great speed and excellent hands!

-Offensive linemen Walter Jones got the nod this year. A excellent left tackle, 9 time Pro Bowler and 4 time All-Pro dominated all defensive linemen he faced. Sometimes the best defense is the offense.

-Buffalo Bills wideout Andre Reed. Jerry Rice got the spotlight when Andre played, but numbers never lie. The Bills star receiver was always a 3rd down threat and Jim Kelly's go to guy. He caught everything thrown his way. This 7 time Pro Bowler ranks 13th in receiving yards and 11th all time in receptions. He helped lead the Bills to 4 straight Super Bowls in the 90s.

-It was Jim Thome Statue Day at Progressive field and the boys on the field did him proud. After pitching a no-hitter in Triple-A Columbus, T.J House was brought up by the Tribe and recorded a 2-0 win over the Texas Rangers. House went 5 innings giving up only 3 hits, with 7 strikeouts. The short outing can be contributed to his 9 inning no hitter. Cody Allen came in to get his 14th save of the season. "Dr. Smooth" Michael Brantley continues to show why he was an All-Star, going 2-4 for the night. Nick "BrOhio" Swisher and Lonnie Chisenhall had the RBI for the good guys. The Indians will wrap the series up at 1:05 today, then start a series at home against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.

-In Akron, it looks like a battle between Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia at the WGC Bridgestone. Garcia is 14 under and Mcilroy is at 11 under. Fan favorite Tiger Woods, who is in desperate need of a win, is plus 1.

-Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor stated yesterday "a Kevin Love trade is likey by August 23 or 24". "I'm saying it's most likely because Kevin has made it pretty clear that that's what he wants to do". So what does Kevin exactly want to do? Come to Cleveland and play with "The King"? I'll be the first to say Welcome to Cleveland, Kevin. This to me is just more concrete evidence that Andrew Wiggins will be included in the trade. His jersey is still labeled discontinued on the Cavs and NBA website.
