So, late last season I was wondering and waiting and repeatedly blogging about it. Why overuse Reuben Droughns, who was clearly getting worn down and less effective, even as he continued to get a record share of the team’s carries? Why not share the load with Lee Suggs, once his broken thumb had healed sufficiently […]
For both of you who were wondering about the dearth of postings, I can only offer this: the only other sports team that excites me nearly as much as the Browns is the Detroit Tigers. For the first time in 15 years or so, they are actually very exciting to watch. Since I may very […]
I’m not going to delve deeply into the rabbit hole of the Browns’ center position. Some of it is bad luck, and some of it raises questions about the Browns’ front office that I am simply not in a position to answer. Also, the storyline is clearly incomplete. Someone else will be signed or acquired […]
Not the biggest deal of all time compared to the buzz of training camp, but I’d never seen video of Ozzie Newsome at Alabama before. Here are a few action clips of the wizard whom Sam Rutigliano converted from a college wide receiver to a Hall of Fame tight end, once assistant coach Rich Kotite […]
Nice piece here on Swerb’s Blurbs speculating on whether the 1986 Browns would have won the Super Bowl. Looking forward to the next two installments of this “What Could Have Been” series, which surely will feature the 1987 and 1980 Browns teams. I’m also eager to read Jonathan Knight’s second Browns book, which is now […]
A few characteristically unminced words from Tony Grossi’s chat today on the Browns positional battles: With ILB Chaun Thompson on the sidelines with a calf injury, “I really believe he’s never gonna get back in there as a starter again.” Second-round pick D’Qwell Jackson will take his place. “I think he is the real deal, […]

Below is the most comprehensive list anywhere of books related to the Cleveland Browns — journalism, memoir, history, biography, photography, reference and more (excluding books for juvenile readers). These 62 titles are sorted by year of publication. […]
Lots of words written lately about the Browns’ recent quarterbacking history and our current prospects. How we could have had Kurt Warner in the 1999 expansion draft. How we should have drafted Tom Brady over Spurgeon Wynn when shopping for a QB prospect in 2000. How our assortment of #1 draft picks, former Pro Bowlers, […]
Very nice to see that nearly all of the Browns’ rookies are getting their contracts done in time for the beginning of training camp. It wasn’t so long ago that every single one of the Browns’ draftees was a holdout. From the Official $ite: The nine signed draft picks and other Browns rookies began participating […]
Gotta feel good about getting Gumby into camp on time. And much of the credit, obviously, goes to Kamerion’s agent, Joe Linta.Check out Linta’s website. Its intro is the ESPN video of Wimbley being drafted. Inside, you’ll see that Linta also represents Romeo Crennel, Joe Andruzzi, and Dave Yovanovits. You’ll recall that the timely hiring […]
