This looks good. In case you haven’t heard about “Bleeding Orange & Brown: A Cleveland Tradition,” check out the trailer for this upcoming feature-length documentary of last season from the perspective of Browns fans. Last I heard, this pretty cool offer was still open: donate at least $20, and you get your name listed in […]
I’ve gotten used to the fact that Wheelie Winslow won’t be playing football any time soon, but I’m still baffled at the silent treatment he’s been giving the fans. I understand he has a legal right to medical privacy regarding non-football injuries. But continuing to invoke it serves no apparent purpose except to antagonize fans. […]
Wheelie’s home, and mum’s the word, much to the local media’s, um, chagrin. Livy is livid: Brash, thoughtless, arrogant, irresponsible — for Winslow, it was touch ’em all time. For added effect, he recounts each of KWII’s misplays, both on and off the field — a surprising surplus for just a year and a half. […]
From the Official Site’s profile of metaphysical poet John Donne seventh-round draft pick Jon Dunn: Up until that day, Dunn had used shear brute force to overpower his opponents. Scary.
Can someone enlighten me about the origin of the supposed Curse of #80? Please fill me in if you have inside information, listen to sports radio, or have a friend with good hearing who changes bedpans at the Cleveland Clinic. It’s the uniform worn by Browns greats Len Ford and Bill Glass. A few other […]
At this point, Kellen Winslow II hardly needs me to tell him how idiotic his motorcycle exploits now seem. After two nights in Cleveland Clinic so far, he’s suffering the natural consequences. These will soon be followed by the legal consequences and perhaps the financial ones as well. I was ambivalent about Winslow’s getting drafted […]
Random impressions and stray riffs from the first draft of the re-re-reborn Browns: I breathed a big sigh of relief when Miami finally chose running back Ronnie Brown with the second pick. What if they (or a trading partner) had picked Braylon Edwards? Who would the Browns have chosen next? The acquisition of Reuben Droughns […]
Since the true measure of a team’s draft takes years to realize, and since the Browns have nowhere to go but up, I’ll settle for now with this little list of “instant objectives.” These are goals that may not all be possible, but at least they’ll be measurable by the end of this weekend. Granted, […]
I’ve always had a fondness for the little guy (if you saw me you’d know why), and Samuel Davis Mills, Jr., was one of those lionhearted overachievers. He arrived at the Browns training camp in 1981 as an undrafted rookie from a small program in New Jersey (much as the even shorter Dino Hall did […]
I don’t spend much time scouting college football players, so I’d be the last to claim status as a draft guru. But I do have some credentials: Last year a Browns beat reporter wrote “who needs Kiper when you have Ace Davis?” If only PHD had followed my advice in 2004! The way the first […]
