Jesse Lamovsky has been a staff writer for the Cleveland Fan since 2006, specializing mostly in Browns and Buckeyes coverage with a side of Cavaliers coverage thrown in. Jesse’s first (hopefully not last) book, The Worst of Sports, was published by Random House in 2007, and someday he hopes to write either the definitive history of the Cleveland sports drought (with a happy ending, of course) or at any rate, something else that pays him handsomely. He currently resides in Strongsville with his lovely and patient soon-to-be-wife.
