Sean McClelland

Sports reporter

Sean McClelland grew up in Cleveland embedded in a losing sports culture. He had no childhood heroes because none of the teams he rooted for ever won anything. After college at Cleveland State University (the Kevin Mackey era) and eight years covering the Yankees and Mets, the NFL and NBA in New York, he arrived in Dayton and eventually began reporting on the newly minted Cleveland Browns.

Now blogging semi-regularly, he hopes the Browns can win a championship in his lifetime. Or, failing that, at least beat the Pittsburgh Steelers once or twice. Sean lives in a flood-prone downtown Dayton apartment, venturing out for the more-than-occasional slice of Flying Pizza or to commiserate with other long-suffering Browns fans.

He also covers the Dayton Dragons.
