This is only tangentially related to the Browns, but I had no idea that Condoleezza Rice used to date Rich Upchurch. Rice: the National Security Adviser during the worst security failure in U.S. history, then the Secretary of State during a precipitous decline in American prestige. But, hey, she’s a heckuva Browns fan. Upchurch: a […]
Courtesy of Browns fan BuckFigBen, here’s an outstanding version of the 2008 schedule, with a PDF version here.
When a runner like Jamal Lewis is your workhorse, and your young QB lit it up last year largely because he managed to get the ball out of there promptly, the interior of your offensive line is especially important.See, Lewis has size, but he’s not your typical pounder in the mold of Bettis, Duckett, and […]
Before baseball season hits full stride and April Fools Day diminishes the credibility of anything you might read, here’s a quick recap of Browns news since the Pro Bowl. This off-season’s moves could prove enough to send this team over the top. (I might say the same thing about my Detroit Tigers, but time will […]
Brady Quinn’s rookie holdout was the worst decision of his life. And given some of the situations this young celebrity has found himself in, that’s saying something. If this wasn’t perfectly obvious at the time last summer, the new contract and vote of confidence for Derek Anderson cements the deal. Let me count the reasons. […]
The official site’s Steve King, whose pieces on Browns history are generally pretty decent, strikes a Browns-versus-the-NFL note in reporting on the league’s rebuff of Senator Sherrod Brown’s request to have AAFC statistics recognized by the NFL. Funny, though, he never mentions the records kept by the team itself. Yes, it’s true. The Cleveland Browns […]
The Browns’ key free-agent-to-be, Jamal Lewis, will clearly be rewarded handsomely for his outstanding 2007 debut season in Cleveland. But it will be interesting to see exactly how his contract negotiations play out. Lewis will be 29 when next season starts, but the big back proved he still has plenty to offer. In essentially 14 […]
Some week, huh? We get the Chud drama settling with a reassuring contract extension. There’s Phil Savage’s season-wrapping presser and all its news hooks, including a possible extension for honcho Romeo himself. Then, an intriguing team and media story with Todd Grantham’s ouster. Mel Tucker, the secondary coach, has been promoted to lead the defense. […]
One key area where Phil Savage and his folks have been outstanding is managing the salary cap. Thoughout his three seasons, the Browns have had ample space to sign multiple big-ticket free agents, plus several other veteran acquisitions, while also locking up their own core contributors and bringing in more than their share of first-round […]
ESPN’s Len Pasquarelli names his All Pro team. Out of just 31 players honored league-wide, four are Browns: Joe Thomas, Lawrence Vickers, Phil Dawson, and Josh Cribbs. That’s more than any team except the Patriots. Not bad at all.
