Football is the hardest game in the world. It requires not only great athleticism but great intelligence, enormous dedication and strategic planning to win. I cover mainly personnel decisions, salary cap, team building and the human element of football. I watch semi-pro, high school, college XFL and NFL ball, it's all good. I follow all four teams in the AFC North and write about the Cleveland Browns.
