I just listenened to the weekly chat with Jim Donovan. Not too much news prior to the start of training camp, but he did note that contract talks with Dennis Northcutt are going well. Obviously, signing him to a long-term deal would be a great boost. Also, Jim voiced some concern about the fact that […]

Looks like the Browns’ official site has posted a new candid picture of Tim Couch, and he’s none too happy about it either.

A big reason for my excitement about the Browns’ offense this year is the return of an excellent group of wide receivers. At least four of them (all second-round draft picks) would be starters on almost any team in the league. Here’s a quick rundown on their strengths and weaknesses: Kevin Johnson — Pros: great […]

Sure, it’s the end of June and there’s not much news to be had. In fact the only memorable article of the week was something about Tim Couch cutting down on pizza. I did find this scan of a notebook page (purportedly scavenged from Couch’s garbage), in which he weighs whether to stay for his […]

It’s been online for four months now, but I just found a great article that makes a compelling and evidence-rich case that the Browns were not only the dominant team in the All-American Football Conference, but were in fact better than any NFL team from 1946-1949.

Minicamp: a time for optimism, projections and … confessions. Seems that we can expect Gerard Warren and Ryan Tucker to have better seasons in 2003 because they’ve cleaned up their act. Each acknowledged this week that they’ve mistreated their gifted bodies in the past, to the detriment of their career. Warren said: “I was partying […]

Here you can take a quick 10-question quiz on Cleveland Browns trivia. I’m bummed that I actually got one wrong…

To sum up the quarterback controversy on this first day of minicamp, here’s tight end Aaron Shea: “All I know is one of those two hillbillies is going to start for us.”

We hardly knew ye: quarterback Pat Barnes has apparently been released before any Browns fans actually got to see him suit up. No official word from the team yet, but the former Cal star and CFL supersub is disillusioned and considering hanging it up for good, according to this Canadian web site. What did the […]

Good news from the front office: running back Jamel White has been signed to a four-year contract extension. I had almost concluded that 2003 would be his last year with the Browns, as he would become an unrestricted free agent and sprint to a team that would make him the feature back. The drafting of […]
