Tim Long, a native Clevelander, became infected at an early age with serious cases of Indians Fever and Browns Blues--and learned quickly that rooting for Cleveland teams is not for the faint of heart. He went on to become a Cleveland sports memorabilia collector and a serious student of Cleveland sports. He is a graduate of St. Edward High School, John Carroll University, and Cleveland State Graduate School of Business.
[This book] can serve as an athletic exorcism for a city in dire
need of banishing sports demons . . . [it's] really about bonehead
front office moves, strokes of tragedy and just sheer bad luck . .
. Long presents the subject matter in a breezy, fun way.--Jim
Vickers "Cleveland Magazine" (12/5/2005 12:00:00 AM)
Covers the gamut of Cleveland sports woes, from bad trades, bad
draft picks, bad timing and just plain bad luck that seems to have
plagued this area for decades.--April Helms "Maple Heights Press"

Funny and intelligent . . . In just a few pages, Long captures the
mood of Browns fans and even non-fans when Modell turned his back
on Cleveland . . . a well-written book with Cleveland sports
history thrown in with a bit of humor . . . It's all there, and
more, in this gem of a book. No kidding, it's interesting and fun
reading even if you don't know a football from a
basketball.--Sandra Fahning "Medina County Gazette" (1/14/2006

Recalls to readers' minds 114 seasons of less-than-stellar sports
incidents . . . Fun to read in this book format . . . much more
enjoyable than when they first hit our consciousness in the
newspaper or via the airwaves.--Lynette Filips "Old Brooklyn News"
(12/1/2005 12:00:00 AM)
Sure to produce lots of screams (or at least groans) by recalling
the funny, frustrating and downright weird trades, injuries,
collapses and other misfortunes that have stalked Cleveland's pro
sports franchises for what feels like ages.--Steve Fogarty "The
Chronicle-Telegram" (12/6/2005 12:00:00 AM)
