TCF Authors Andrew Clayman
Andrew Clayman is an Akron native and Bowling Green State University grad currently making his home in Chicago, IL. Despite having moved out of state, he is a firm believer that certain other Akronites should stay home and play for their nearest local professional sports team for the full extent of their careers
That said, Andrew has already sacrificed his youth and sanity for perennial heartbreak as a Browns, Indians, Cavs, and Zips fan. He was in the stands at Browns Stadium on Bottle Throwing Day, and his father was at 10 Cent Beer Night. The tradition runs deep. Mention Cory Snyder's mustache, Dwayne Rudd's helmet, or Cedric Henderson's jump shot and you've got a conversation on your hands. After all, when the big picture is this hard to look at, might as well focus on the funny little details.
Andrew's Philosophy: "While most sports fans put their teams on pedestals, Cleveland fans see them in the mirror."

RT @Peeker643: Best part of Kyrie post game interview is not one 'myself' or one phony fucking 'humbled' that LBJ bored us with nightly.
-
Which of the three WR's that missed out on the Hall of Fame do you feel is most worthy? Cris Carter, Tim Brown, or Andre Reed?
-
That reverse layup by Kyrie was SICK. This kid is gonna be a superstar. #Cavs
-
I'm gonna roll the dice. Just locked in on Carlos Condit +180. Feeling the upset. #UFC #MMA #UFC143

I normally like when the #Cavs wear navy blue, but these uniforms are hideous.
