Will the Cleveland Indians draw a crowd in 2016? -- Bud Shaw's You Said It

CLEVELAND, Ohio - You Said It is based on the premise that the only thing Cleveland sports fans need more than a championship is a sense of humor.

The 2016 sports season marks the 52nd anniversary of the last championship in town. Is the year for the Cavs and LeBron James.

Is this the year for the Indians. Sports Illustrated says no, so maybe there's a chance.

Is this the year for the new-look Browns.

Cleveland sports fans would probably settle for a year in which the highlights finally outnumber the lowlights.

Bud: Just got done watching the Indians first Spring Training game. Same old Indians. Don't you think they could have won if Dolan had spent more money??? Just trying to get out in front of the crowd – Dave Sansone, Rocky River

That and Opening Day may be the only two crowds you have to worry about.

Bud: I see Tom Brady is now signed through 2019 with the Patriots. When will Coach Belichick cut him due to diminished skills? -- Jamie Pieh, West Park

I don't want to say Belichick is known as a cold-hearted coach but there's a reason why Ralph Fiennes prepared for his role as Voldemort by attending Patriots' organizational meetings and practices.

Bud: Hey Bud: Why does the commercial where Brett Favre throws a football at his dog remind me of Sundays on the lakefront? Is it more disturbing that he's trying to hit his dog with a football or that the dog didn't cut his pattern shorter? – Bob H, Strongsville

Be nice now.  Making a canine reference is no way to speak of Dwayne Bowe.

Bud: Do you think Oscar Robertson was smoking pot prior to his minimizing Steph Curry and the NBA on Mike & Mike? – Jim Vittek, Chagrin Falls

No. I just think he was guarding his lawn from his front porch rocking chair.

Bud: When you trip and fall sprinting to the keyboard, have you been embarrassed by a wardrobe malfunction? – Chuck, Warren

Sprinting to the keyboard would suggest I have something important to say. I write “You Said It,” remember.
