Our own Jon Steiner and Paul C. talk Tribe- “With that in mind, it’s time to explore the topic of whether the Indians acted prudently in the past 2 ½ years, trading off their major parts for prospects and whether the “collateral damage” done by those actions – though they may have been the best idea in the long-term – is going to haunt this team in the short-term.” [The DiaTribe]

Signs pointing towards Colt McCoy starting Sunday- “Eric Mangini said that McCoy looked good in practiced last Friday, his first day back, and in pregame warm-ups against Buffalo. McCoy was the third quarterback in the Bills game. Mangini said McCoy will get most of the work with the first team on Wednesday and barring setbacks, should be ready for Sunday.” [Greetham/OBR]

SOME complaints? The man was ATROCIOUS!- “I heard some complaints about the way Jake Delhomme played. I’m not going to forgive the way he played, but I thought the camera gave a clear view of some of the receivers’ routes for once, and I could see why Delhomme was frustrated and couldn’t get the ball downfield — all of the routes saw the receivers crowd each other or fail to run past the line of scrimmage. Delhomme did underthrow Massaquoi early in the game on a deep pattern, but you know what? The pass was still completed. I would rather have Daboll call for those deep shots throughout the game than to sit in a shell. Delhomme isn’t going to light it up downfield, but that doesn’t mean he’s incapable of it.” [Pokorny/Dawgs by Nature]

On the Cavs performance last night- “But to the dismay of those empty arena seats, and despite the manufactured “crowd” noise that was being piped in by the Heat in-game staff, Gibson did go for 26 points on 10 of 16 shooting along with dropping four dimes as he led the upset “effort” by the Cavaliers. Oh, and he didn’t play patty-cake with any opposing Heat players either, which was appreciated by this guy at least.” [Brendan/Stepien Rules]

Jon Diebler comes to life for basketball Buckeyes- “It was the Jon Diebler show as the senior sharp shooter tied a school record by making nine three-point baskets. He also scored a career-high 29 points. Diebler was 9-of-13 (all threes) from the field and actually connected on nine consecutive threes.” [Eleven Warriors]
