Check out some of the Optimist's collection of classics spanning four seasons (2003-07).

The Optimist takes a lighthearted look at the bright side of the Cavaliers season. He predicted the Wine and Gold to go 82-0 at the beginning of the season and hasn't stopped since. The Optimist makes an appearance before every Cavaliers game and on random occasions.

Remember, all the Optimist ever asks of Cavaliers fans is two things...

The Optimist
One, is to ask yourself a simple question: WHY NOT? The second is to KEEP THE FAITH. Neither require manual labor.

And if you think the Optimist is right on, full of it, or just plain entertaining, you can contact the Optimist by clicking here.

Take a look at some of my past columns. I've altered them to make all predictions accurate.

Now gird up and get reading, people!

May 27 - FIFTH ANNUAL OPTIMIST AWARDS BANQUET

I didn’t do any foreign greeting today because, quite frankly, I’m “off the clock.” You people don’t need that kind of foolishness today. You don’t want me up here giving schmaltzy feel-good speeches or telling dirty Irish limericks.
What happened to the Cavaliers in Game 7 up in Beantown two Sundays ago hurt. It hurt bad.
But it’s over and something says big changes are afoot in Cavalier Land. I just hope GM Dan Ferry trades for first-time All-Nemesis guard, Mo Williams, so he’ll stop kicking the crap out of the Cleveland four times a year. But I don’t chime in on trades (yet) and that’s not what we’re here for, anyway.
Please help yourself to the refreshments and – as always – please, NO gang colors.
