Carolyn Hastings is a writer, blogger and unabashed Cleveland fan whose work has appeared on CavsNews, Cavs Court, Sports Diva, Women Like Sports and NESW Sports.  She writes a daily love letter to the Cleveland Cavaliers on her Cleveland.com blog, And One.  When she’s not standing on the coffee table shouting encouragement during Cavs games, Carolyn is wondering why no one ever mentions Frank Basloe, the Waterloo Wonders, the Cleveland Rebels or the Akron Firestone Nonskids.  And when she’s not watching basketball, writing about basketball, talking about basketball, or reading about basketball, Carolyn enjoys inhaling outside of Breadsmith on Detroit, wandering the Mohair aisle at River Colors Studio and staring at the river-which-is-so-rocky.

Chris was born in and grew up near in the thriving metropolis of Canton, OH. He graduated from NYU Film School, which was perhaps the biggest waste of money in the history of mankind since We Are The World. After stints in New York City, Miami, and Southern California, he has (for reasons unknown) returned to the football Mecca of his youth. He is investing heavily in cryogenic technology in an effort to stay alive until Cleveland wins another championship.

Cris Sykes is a 30-year-old writer from Mentor, Ohio. He is an eternal optimist with the Cleveland sports franchises. He thought Chris Palmer, Charlie Manuel, and Randy Wittman were all good hires the day they were made. He thought Jeff Garcia was going to be a Pro Bowl Quarterback when he arrived in Cleveland. Keith Hernandez would lead the American League in hitting when he arrived in Cleveland.

A few of Cris’s favorite things ... Athlete: Roger Clemens Day of the year: Opening day for Major League Baseball Team: 1995 Cleveland Indians Coach: Jim Tressel Game: Ohio State over Miami (FL) Book: The Godfather Returns Movie: Pulp Fiction Sports Movie: Major League

In his spare time, Cris usually goes out for some drinks, and is interrupted every few minutes to throw a bowling ball. His 9-5 job is doing research and development for Sherwin-Williams, where he has been working for the last 5 years.

Dan Wismar is a Cleveland Heights native, and a lifelong northeast Ohio resident. Like a million other Ohio boomers, he idolized Rocky Colavito, Jim Brown and Paul Warfield as a kid, and like so many of us, he credits and thanks his Dad for his "fanhood". And though he's old enough to remember 75-cent bleacher seats and Ross Fichtner, he's still young enough to stay optimistic about this town and its teams.Dan has covered OSU sports for The Cleveland Fan since the Spring of '08, the attachment to the Buckeyes being as ingrained in him as the unhealthy Indians and Browns loyalties.  In whatever he writes on the local sports scene, he'll always try to bring to the reader the perspective of the home team fan in the stands.
