Gary Benz is a life long Cleveland-area resident.  He has suffered, along with the rest of us, through every bad play, player and team to grace the Cleveland sports scene.  He has spent more time and money than he cares to remember on Cleveland sports teams with nary a championship to show for it, save for the 1964 NFL Championship.  He hasn't yet given up hope, despite what people may say.  Gary is a journalist by degree but left that lucrative field years ago for a more pedestrian existence in the field of law and business.  He also writes for his own website, which can be accessed at www.nextyearagain.blogspot.com.  You can follow him on twitter as well.
