The Awesomeness that is Joe Haden.

by rdy on Mar 23, 2011 12:10 PM EDT

The way Joe Haden has stayed in Cleveland this off-season and spread his pleasantness around town is AMAZING. The way he has been going to the Cavs games and cheering them on like mad is so cool. He is doing everything he can to put some pride and excitement back into the Cavs fandom. At a time when we are losing so many games, he is there leading us in cheer, telling us to hang in there and times will get better. He is really trying to adopt Cleveland as a second home and support it the best he can. How refreshing is it to see an athlete do something like this instead of disappearing in the off season. Thank You Joe Haden for being a fan with us.

You’re post isn’t long, but it gets right to the point and I agree whole heartedly! I really like this kid. I almost went to one of his autograph signings in January but unfortunately had to miss it. I really hope he has a very long and very successful career here.

Go Joe! Go Cavs! And go Browns!

He was rocking full Cavs gear and an Andy V wig at the Nets game last night. I heart Joe Haden.

Opposite of Lebron. Except he’s good too. And I loved the full Cavs gear and Andy Wig

For sure, remember lebron wearing that yankees hat to the Indians game. And him yucking it up with the cowboys players at the Browns game.

AWESOME.

The only kind of awesome that justifies a subject line.

Sometimes comments can get a little hard to read and things can get a little cluttered if everyone uses them. Just a little quirk I guess.

Hate to be a downer, but that’s mainly probably because of the season ticket holders that renewed before LeBron left. I hope we can keep that up though.

The Heat are going to get destroyed in the playoffs, it will be fun to watch them all cry again.

I think it will. Lebron will fold, Bosh will do nothing, and Wade will injure his back trying to carry the team.

I was eight rows back from the Heat bench at the game, and everyone down there saw him leave right before introductions. He didn’t seem to be in much of a hurry to get to the restroom. LeBron made a good choice in picking basketball over football, he wouldn’t have the balls to make it out on the NFL gridiron.

Joe Haden is quickly becoming the new face of Cleveland. I love to see him staying here during the off-season embracing the city. If we manage to have a season next year I’ll be sporting a #23 jersey.

Nice idea. Either that or a Joe Thomas one, cos I could get my entire family in that…

Haden is most definitely awesome. Too bad I already got my Colt McCoy jersey. Maybe I’ll have to save a little money and get a Haden jersey anyway. You can never have too many Browns’ jerseys.

Oh jeez, you bought a McCoy jersey?

by DontCallMeAddy on Apr 5, 2011 9:42 AM EDT up reply actions

I’m confident in McCoy. I think He’ll be a good player. With a West-Coast style he’ll tear it up.

I won’t be buying anything from the NFL until there is a satisfying resolution to the labor nonsense.

That said, I’d love to buy some apparel with Haden, Ward, and Peterson.

That would be hard to fit on one jersey. But, I like the idea.

Sam Bradford did alright.

From what people say, theirs were about as bad as ours, and if you believe Holmgren they may have been worse than ours.

Yes, but now put yourself in the shoes of a Rams fan and imagine Bradford with an all-star wide receiver…

I got a Browns shirt that has the name and number on the back. I don’t know when I’ll be in Cleveland again, so I figured why not?

by emily522 on Apr 5, 2011 10:13 PM EDT up reply actions

Probably would’ve gone a safer route with Haden, but they didn’t have a shirt like that in my size. I regret not buying a new Cavs shirt or Indians shirt too.

by emily522 on Apr 5, 2011 10:14 PM EDT up reply actions

That’s fine, I was going to run that route with Hillis, but I don’t like how NFL.com allows you to customize a T – shirt.

by DontCallMeAddy on Apr 5, 2011 10:31 PM EDT up reply actions

If you got the ones I’m thing of, those are really cool t-shirts, just a bit on the pricey end as far as t-shirts go. Still cheaper (and thus safer) than a jersey investment though.

I want another authentic jersey (I was blown away by the Hillis one, but decided not to wear it and just buy another), but I’m holding out (pun very much intended) until I know there is going to be a full season (if there is at all). I’m thinking either Mack or Haden.

by Simmsinns on Apr 5, 2011 10:44 PM EDT up reply actions

I want to make a t – shirt that replicates a jersey fairly well. Strips on the sleeves, numbers on the shoulders, number plates and names in the right spots. Even down to the stripped collar and NFL shield. But obviously, I see no place where I can customize a shirt that far. Nike did it once for the OSU v. Oregon game and it was awesome.

by DontCallMeAddy on Apr 5, 2011 10:51 PM EDT up reply actions

I have an old Andre Rison shirt that is similar to what you described.

I’ll never regret the purchase. He’s my all-time favorite college QB. Even if for some unforseen he doesn’t have what it takes to be the guy, I’ll still wear it proud.

There’s this QB guru in the organization that seems to think Colt has it, but hey, what does he know?
