April 9, 2014When will Cleveland sports be about sports again? Well, for right now, there’s a lot of interest in issues off the field. I had a chance to catch up with Peter Pattakos of Cleveland Frowns on both the Cleveland Sin tax issue as well as the Chief Wahoo situation.
You can find Peter at his website or on Twitter.

posted this in frowns’ comments, thought i should throw it out here too. loved the podcast. random and tangential points.
1. i share craig’s like of the Rock-a-Fella logo but for it to happen, a rule would have to change. Currently teams are not allowed to profit from likenesses of deceased players. One would think something could be worked out with Feller’s heirs, but still that’s a current hurdle.
2. when i watch the indians and hear rick manning tell me issue 7 wont raise taxes, i cringe. it’s not a lie I guess but if taxes are scheduled to be reduced and this vote keeps them the same.. then the net is that you will pay more tax if this vote passes. i just find that tack shady. yet i suspect it will be effective.
3. i was hoping you two would touch more on mr. rodriguez. i find his story very interesting and his big day maybe a screenplay/modern-parable. here’s this guy who obviously feels strongly about wahoo but who maybe didnt think it all the way through and then was forced to. he’s kinda saul on the road to damascus. ive noticed that youve treated him ‘care’.. i wonder if you picked on something as in a real life example that the issue awareness raising has yielded a tangible convert?
Isn’t about time we had Raab on again to talk about the Tribe’s terrible pitching, the Browns bungling of the Mack situation and their, shall we say, unique approach to evaluating players for the draft, and, most of all, the giant steaming pile of dung that is the movie Draft Day?
