My best childhood sports memory goes back to 1964 - Dad on the roof adjusting the TV antenna, milking every last ounce of reception from Cleveland, hollering down through a chain of friends and family -- "How is it now?" -- "Better!" -- and the household mayhem that ensued when our beloved Browns won the championship.<br /><br />Since his death from cancer was inevitable this year, I'm glad he wasn't around to see the implosion of Buckeye Football. <br /><br />All families have quirky hatreds, and ours is anything Texas and Florida; Florida having been compounded by LeBron. The NBA finals were strangely empty for me, not being able to commiserate with my Dad on the awful decision of who to root for.<br /><br />I cheered for the Mavericks without him, and I think he would have been ok with that. <br /><br />Dan, your kids are BLESSED to have such a great dad. Thanks for sharing.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837702043224138467noreply@blogger.com
