Lunchtime Links: Joe Haden's buying edition

Bad news on both ends of the state on the baseball diamond may make for an unhappy start to the day, but at least three people are smiling: Joe Haden, his agent, and Browns GM Ray Farmer. The three agreed to a monster $68 million contract extension yesterday. So, at least they could do is pick up today's lunch tab.

Speaking of lunch, Sam Amico is holding a lunchtime chat today if you want to talk about the Cavs' future.

By the way, did you know that FOX Sports Ohio has 24/7 automated newswires for the Browns, Indians, Reds, Cavaliers, and Blue Jackets? It's true! Check 'em out today.

CAVALIERS
