TRAVELERS ON OHIO'S ROADS FACE ICE AND BATTLE POTHOLES... BUT THE ICY COMMUTE IS NOTHING COMPARED TO FREIGHTERS FIGHTING TO TRAVEL ON THE GREAT LAKES.
A CARGO SHIP WAS TRAPPED IN THE LAKE ERIE ICE JUST SEVEN MILES NORTHWEST OF CONNEAUT OHIO FOR FIVE DAYS .. BEFORE IT WAS FREED BY A CANADIAN COAST GUARD SHIP.
THE ARTHUR M ANDERSON, WHICH TRANSPORTS CARGO SUCH AS OIL OR IRON, IS TRAVELING WITH AN ESCORT SHIP ON THE WAY TO WISCONSIN.
THE U.S. COAST GUARD'S ICE CUTTER 'BRISTOL BAY' GOT STUCK ON THE WAY TO RESCUE THE ANDERSON... THE CANADIAN COAST GUARD'S CUTTER 'GRIFFIN' ALSO HELPED GET 'BRISTOL BAY' BACK HOME TO CLEVELAND.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A FEW EXTRA DAYS OF VACATION? SOUNDS FUN, RIGHT? WELL OHIO STATE BUCKEYES HEAD COACH URBAN MEYER IS PROBABLY FEELING A LITTLE SEA SICK, AFTER BEING STUCK ON A CRUISE SHIP DUE TO FOG.
COACH MEYER JOINED OHIO STATE FANS, ALUMNI AND FORMER PLAYERS ABOARD THE BUCKEYE CRUISE FOR CANCER...AND AFTER A 36-HOUR DELAY, THE CRUISE WAS FINALLY CLEARED TO DOCK AT THE TAMPA, FLORIDA PORT.
THE GROUP RAISED TWO MILLION DOLLARS FOR CANCER RESEARCH... AND ROYAL CARIBBEAN POSTED A CLEVER PHOTO JOKING ABOUT THE PATH OF THE BUCKEYE CRUISE.
SPEAKING OF OHIO STATE, QUARTERBACK CARDALE JONES, WHO ANNOUNCED HE WOULD STAY IN SCHOOL TO FINISH HIS DEGREE, WAS RECOGNIZED BY STATE CONGRESSMAN BILL PATMON. THE LETTER SENT TO THE QUARTERBACK SALUTED HIM AS ONE OF OHIO'S FINEST ATHLETES AND COMMENDED HIM ON HIS SUCCESS.
BUT ON THIS DOCUMENT, HE'S NOT JUST CARDALE JONES,QUARTERBACK OF THE NATIONAL CHAMPION BUCKEYES... HIS NICKNAME "TWELVE GAUGE" MADE IT ONTO THE OFFICIAL DOCUMENT.
CARDALE JONES WON'T BE SUITING UP WITH THEM, BUT THE 2015 BROWNS WILL TAKE THE FIELD WITH SOME NEW SWAGGER COME FOOTBALL SEASON... BUT THIS PARTICULAR CHANGE IS NOT GETTING QUITE THE REACTION TEAM OFFICIALS MIGHT HAVE HOPED. REFERRING TO THE CHANGE, WHICH TOOK TWO YEARS, AS A 'LOGO EVOLUTION', THE BROWNS RELEASED THE NEW DESIGN WHICH LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2014 VERSION.
THE ORANGE IS BRIGHTER IN THE NEW DESIGN AND THE FACE MASK WILL BE BROWN, BUT SOCIAL MEDIA WENT OFF AFTER THE TUESDAY ANNOUNCEMENT, MOCKING THE CHANGE.
SO WE CHALLENGE YOU - OUR VIEWERS - TO WRITE IN AND TELL US WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE NEW DESIGN. COULD YOU COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER? WE'RE GUESSING YES, BUT WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR IDEAS. WE'LL TELL YOU WHERE TO SEND THOSE LETTERS AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM.
