Alright. Yesterday I gave you my top ten list of Cleveland Sports twitter accounts. For the most part I think I nailed it. In fact there really was only one omission that I heard about- Eric Wright. To be honest with you, 90% on one of these lists sounds pretty good to me.
However, far be it for me to deny you the Cleveland Sports fans your chance to have your voices heard. So we’re going to do a little Twitter tournament. Sixteen Cleveland athletes will compete head to head for a chance to be called the Cleveland Twitter Champ. Each day you will be given a shot to determine a round of the tournament.
Sound easy? It should be. And if the Cleveland stars want to lobby their followers for a victory, far be it for me to say no. (There you go, Eric Wright!)
Here are the pairings- (Update: Polls are fixed!)
#1 Josh Cribbs (@JoshCribbs16) vs #16 Jerome Harrison (@jharrison35)
#2 Carlton Mitchell (@clmitch18) vs #15 Samardo Samuels (@samardo24)
#3 Mo Williams (@mogotti2) vs #14 Gerard Lawson (@Glaw30)
#4 Joe Haden (@joehaden23) vs #13 Brandon McDonald (@bmcdonald22)
#5 D’Qwell Jackson (@DQ52) vs #12 Abe Elam (@abeelam)
#6 Eric Wright (@ithinkurwright) vs #11 Eric Barton (@ericbarton50)
#7 Matt LaPorta (@Gator4God) vs #10 Shaun Rogers (@QBComa92)
#8 Jensen Lewis (@JLEWFifty) vs #9 Robaire Smith (@BigHomie4Real)
Remember, this contest isn’t who is the better player on the field, it is who is the better twitter user. Should make for some interesting discussion in the Browns’ secondary at camp…
