Donovan Peoples-Jones Roundtable featuring Network 216
Enlisted my guys at @Network_216 to help discuss DPJ's career season and where he will go from here.

#Browns #NFL
The Cleveland Browns take on the Baltimore Ravens this afternoon and I wanted to highlight what might be the breakout player of the 2022 Browns season so far with Donovan Peoples-Jones.
He is quietly producing career-high numbers so far this season and deserves to have more of a spotlight on him from those that haven’t realized what he’s doing so far, but a quick credit to Cleveland radio host…

The Influence Josh Bell's Signing Has on the Guardians Offense
A quick thought on Josh Bell and how his signing should spark excitement for Guardians fans.
#ForTheLand #WinterMeetings #MLB
A potential Josh Bell signing was supposed to be the next post in my Guardians Free Agent Target series, but then the Guardians beat me to the punch by actually going out and signing 1B/DH Josh Bell (a very big thank you, by the way).
The beautiful thing is we are still able to discuss how Bell fits into the Guardians lineup, so let’s do that.
We all know that Bell struggled in his post-trade…

Guardians Free Agent Target: Omar Narváez
With Austin Hedges electing free agency, my next free agent entry takes a look at who could be a viable replacement for 2023.
The Guardians’ incumbent catcher, Austin Hedges, opted for free agency after the season ended which now leaves the team with the burden of having to find their 2023 starter. While Hedges could make a return, Omar Narváez could make a valuable replacement should he not.
At first look, Narváez is clearly the superior offensive catcher despite hitting .206 in 2022. Making his major league debut in…

Recap of the Indians 2021 Season at the All-Star Break
Just a Couple Thoughts on the Indians Going Into the Second Half
#GoTribe #OurCLE #MLB
Follow @RockinJakePod!
It’s mid-July and the All-Star Game is now behind us. The Cleveland Indians are currently in second place in the AL Central and, yet, this doesn’t feel like the typical seasons the Indians usually have under Terry Francona.
The team’s record is only 45-42, bolstered by a last minute three-game winning streak going into the All-Star break that was immediately preceded by a nine-game losing streak…

I See Your MVP Candidates and Raise You Shane Bieber
I see the talk for this year's AL MVP, but rarely see the one name that deserves it the most this year. Shane Bieber. #OurTribe #Indians #MVP #MLB
José Abreu, Tim Anderson and now José Ramírez are just a handful of names that have been leading the AL MVP race for the past few weeks as this shortened 2020 MLB season comes to a close, but let me give you one name you should be thinking about, well, maybe two.
Justin Verlander and Shane Bieber.
For the first time since Justin Verlander in 2011, Shane Bieber has a chance to become the…

The Cleveland-San Diego Trade is a Win-Win, But Not in 2020
The Cleveland-San Diego Trade is a Win-Win, But Not in 2020 #MLB #OurTribe #Padres #TradeDeadline
After many weeks of rumors regarding Mike Clevinger and whether or not he would be traded leading up to the trade deadline, the Indians finally pulled the trigger and sent Clevinger, OF Greg Allen and a player to be named later to the San Diego Padres for RHP Cal Quantrill, OF Josh Naylor, C Austin Hedges and three prospects in SS Gabriel Arias, LHP Joey Cantillo and SS Owen Miller.
In any…

Despite COVID-19 Concerns, NCAA Football Should Happen
Despite COVID-19 Concerns, NCAA Football Should Happen #OhioState #Clemson #NCAA #WeWantToPlay
#WeWantToPlay has become the latest motto for college football players that want to continue with the 2020 season and we should hear them out.
Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence and Ohio State QB Justin Fields are just two of the many names around college football to voice why they should have a season and many of their points are valid.

Could the Seattle Seahawks Have Another Legion of Boom on Their Hands?
Could the Seattle Seahawks Have Another Legion of Boom on Their Hands? #GoHawks #NFL #Trending
Well, the Seattle Seahawks made headlines over the weekend when they acquired S Jamal Adams and a 2021 fourth-round pick from the New York Jets for S Bradley McDougald, a first and third-round pick in 2021 and a 2022 first-round pick. Now, you may be saying to yourself, “two first round picks was a lot to give up,” and I would agree with you. This deal could’ve gotten done with simply a first and…

What Mookie's Extension Means for Major League Baseball
What Mookie's Extension Means for Major League Baseball #MLB #LosAngelesDodgers #LosAngelesAngels
As we all know, Major League Baseball has no salary cap and that was on display once again as OF Mookie Betts signed a 13-year contract extension with the Los Angeles Dodgers for $392 million.
A smart move by both parties as the Dodgers would be foolish to let a player of Betts’ worth and his talent to test the free agent market, and Betts gets his security with a team that has won the NL West…

Like It or Not, It's Time to Change the Name
Like It or Not, It's Time to Change the Name #MLB #ClevelandIndians
Remember the Cleveland Spiders? No?
What about the Cleveland Lake Shores? How about the Cleveland Forest Citys?
Of course you don’t because those names were used between the late 1890’s and early 1900’s, but what this means is that the team we all know and love as the Cleveland Indians was not always known by that name.
Fast-forward to 2020 and the pressure to change the team name has…

Winning in L.A. is Not a One-Way Street for LeBron
Winning in L.A. is Not a One-Way Street for LeBron
There’s been a lot of talk about how LeBron James needs to not only win with the Los Angeles Lakers, but win big and soon. James is 34 years old and about to enter his 17th NBA season for crying out loud. That means James does not have much time to wait, and his first season with the Lakers was certainly not a successful one.
Something that not many people, if any, are talking about is how James’…

Why Devin Funchess' Time in Carolina Might Be Over and Where He Could End Up
Why Devin Funchess’ Time in Carolina Might Be Over and Where He Could End Up
Devin Funchess might have witnessed his last days as a Carolina Panther in 2018.
This pains me to say, as I coincidentally write this while wearing a Panthers hoodie, because I am a Panthers fan after the failures of Kelvin Benjamin, Funchess was touted to go from the team’s number two receiver to its new number one, but for many reasons it just never developed that way.
Originally a tight end at…

With Eli Manning's Time Running Out, the New York Giants Are Now on the Clock
With Eli Manning’s Time Running Out, the New York Giants Are Now on the Clock
Ice cold take incoming: Dwayne Haskins should be the next quarterback of the New York Giants.
Since the Giants last playoff win (Super Bowl XLVI in 2011), the team has only made the playoffs twice while winning an average of less than seven games per season. While Eli Manning is still averaging over 200 yards per game and completed 66 percent of his throws last season, it’s been clear that the…

How Cam Reddish Became the "Forgotten" Star in Duke's Big Three
How Cam Reddish Became the “Forgotten” Star in Duke’s Big Three
Coming into the 2018-19 season, there was much hype about the current Duke Blue Devils team, and rightfully so. Finally embracing the “one-and-done” culture of college basketball, Coach K was able to land THREE of the top-five recruits for the upcoming year, firmly placing the Duke program among the top teams to compete for a national championship.
R.J. Barrett, Cam Reddish and Zion Williamson,…

How Moving Back Home Made the Rams Into a Winning Team Again
How Moving Back Home Made the Rams Into a Winning Team Again
After what seemed like decades of mediocre football, a Cleveland football team is good once again.
Except that team now plays in Los Angeles.
Born in 1994, the same year Los Angeles lost BOTH of their NFL teams, I grew up with L.A. not having an NFL team, and that was weirdly the norm because the city had two major teams in every other sport! But, L.A. is where the Rams belong, even if it meant…
