A couple cool things happening in NEO for football fans - one you can check out now, the other in 2021
First, If you remember (I know we all try to forget) when Cleveland was not doing so well in the world of Professional Football... so there were special edition"Fridges" installed in area bars that would 'Unlock' after the first Victory of the season so patrons could toast with a free adult beverage. One of these exclusive refrigerators has been donated to the Pro Football Hall of Fame by the folks at Loby's Grille in Canton and will be on dispaly for the world to see at the Hall.

So the other thing is kind of a big deal... if you saw any footage, pics or social media posts about this years NFL Draft that was held in Nashville, TN, andthought it looked like a good time but think 8 hours is a long drive for a party, then you are in luck. The NFL has announced that the 2021 NFL Draft will be held in CLEVELAND! The 75th Anniversary of our North Coast team in Orange happens to be the same year, and if things continue to improve on the shore of Lake Erie, this could, and should be, one of the biggest things to happen in Cleveland since that little Championship parade for the Wine & Gold.

Congrats, CLE!

Fresh off the announcement of a new Head Coach for the North Coast, Tuesday nights NBA Draft Lottery brought just a little more disappointment to hopeful CAVS fans like myself, as we got the Number Five overall pick at the upcoming NBA Draft in June... Which means a very slim chance at Zion, let alone one of the other much hyped top prospects. Number Five isn't all that bad, but it would be better for me if it wasn't for a couple other moments: First, Kyle Kuzma (in his "Lucky" purple jacket) and LeBron's Lakers getting to pick at Number 4... Really?! And then Former GM David Griffin, now a VP with the New Orleans Pelicans, was the man that was handed the 'Golden Ticket' to Zion with the Number One pick. At least we aren't the Knicks.
