    Not only if Cleveland losing its hoops superstar, it's also losing its basketball beat writer. The exodus continues. (Couldn't the Houston Chronicle have found a way to pawn off Jerome Solomon on ESPN or some New York/Detroit media outlet when McGrady left?)

    And by the way, this sure sounds like a lot of people devoted by a national sports outlet on just one team:

    Editorial contributors to The Heat Index:

    Wonder if people will get tired of them midseason...

    No city in America will feel more collective ecstasy (and relief) in winning a major sports champions than Cleveland when they finally win their next one, whether it be the Indians, Browns or Cavs... even if it takes another 5+ decades.

    Heat Index is pretty ridiculous, but you can't say that nobody cares about the Heat when a video of LeBron James missing two hook shots in practice gets multi-page threads in several forums and over 50,000 views. The "haters" are the ones throwing fuel into the fire.

    Agreed. Where are all the apathetic fans at?

    They simply don't care enough to post in those threads.

    At least they had a sitcom dedicated to them in the 70's. That's something to be proud of, amirite?

    Didn't the Indians win a World Series in the mid 90's. That's pretty much the same time the last Houston team won a championship (Aeros, Comets, Dynamo do not count the same way the big 3 does).

    No, they lost to the Marlins.

    This "Heat Index" thing has little appeal to me because I care most about watching the games. The only time it may be interesting is if some lockerroom drama develops and is exposed.

    Who cares where he went... He was a FREE AGENT, I wouldn't care if a Rocket did this. It just means he never cared about the team, so why should I continue to care for him.

    The Indians lost two World Series in the 1990s, to the Braves and the Marlins.
