Football seasons come and go, and even the best of blogs fade into oblivion, but good books endure. 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. […]
No doubt that the NFL is a fantastic spectacle, the most entertaining sports league in the world, to my eyes. But in terms of providing an optimal forum for competition, it has two serious flaws. One is injuries. They can and do have an outsized impact on a game, season, and even a franchise’s overall […]
Sad to hear that Bernie Kosar’s wife has filed for divorce. The issues, as reported by the Miami Herald, include what Babette apparently feels is Bernie’s undue generosity in giving away marital assets. It’s a character trait and a marital concern that was foreshadowed as far back as 1992 in, oddly enough, a football card. […]
I guess the closer you get to the beltway, the nearer you approach bizarro-world. From the Baltimore Sun: “For Ravens, character counts.” Very interesting read, if you can put aside (or be amused by) the favoritism toward the dreaded Crackmorons. For one thing, the writer thinks it’s a positive that only 25% of their first-round […]
One brief follow-up to the NFL Network’s all-Browns programming yesterday. Their listed schedule included a “Six Days to Sunday” episode featuring “Randy Lerner and the Cleveland Browns front office as they prepare for the Miami Dolphins.” But that’s not what they showed. Instead, it was an older episode, “The Browns Are Back,” about the 1999 […]
Assuming that the Browns’ free agency signings are complete, and barring any player trades, here’s my quick-and-easy draft need table. It shouldn’t be terribly shocking to anyone, but it may be useful in stimulating some discussion, or — better yet — as a reference for that mid-draft and post-draft analysis. Definitions: Critical — a first-day, […]
Half of the numbers between 10 and 19 are taken, none of them by a quarterback. LeCharles Bentley is listed as 00. My understanding is that the league must give special permision to use that number, and I haven’t heard any announcement about that. If it comes to pass, he’d be the first 00 in […]
Remember back in 2003, when the Browns insisted that all their draft picks sign five-year contracts? It was a hardball maneuver which denied these players the sure chance to hit free agency after the four years specified in the collective bargaining agreement. Training camp opened, and every last one of those rookies held out, even […]
Here’s my first post written specifically for this here shiny new blog on Munilot. I’m still getting used to this platform, but it promises to be an improvement over my previous two homes, those being my original site, founded in 2002, at Blogger, and the fanmonster.com blog generously hosted by OBR.com’s own Barry McBride. The […]
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. […]
