Metcalf Up The Middle: Our First Christmas Card

O Romeo, Romeo! Snippets of Genius From the OLD Coach of the Browns

We're sad to lose the wonderful bits and pieces that filled this section, and wish all the best to Romeo, an absolute gentleman.

"Like they say, make hay when the sun is shining, so that's what they try to do." - 8.5.08 - talking about the host of new contract demands from Browns players.

"I haven't really proven much other than I can win 10 games and not make the playoffs," - 1.08 - self explanitory...

“Being 9-5, guarantees that we will probably win more games than we lose this year.” - 12.17.07 - a tongue-in-cheek answer to what a 9-5 record means.

"Romeo Crennel has been Romeo Crennel ever since he got here in 2005. Ahh, and has been doing the same thing, will continue to do the same thing. So whatever they want to say about Romeo Crennel, they can go ahead and say. If it's positive I'll feel a little bit better about it, if it's negative I'll feel a little bit worse about it, but I'm going to do what I think is best for the Cleveland Browns." - 11.29.07 - in response to going from the "hot seat" to possible coach of the year.

"If he throws the 3-yard pass over the middle and the guy runs for 10, now we have 10 more yards and we kick the field goal and go into overtime," - 11.11.07 - technically, we'd have 13 more yards, but hey, whos counting.

"You know, when you get the first pickle out of the jar, it makes it easier to get the rest of them out. So as far as winning on the road, we need to get that first pickle out of the jar. - 10.25.07

"Well it's not as strong as the other one, cause the other one is the good one, you know?" - 10.22.07 - speaking of LeCharles Bentley's knee

"Well, its played out the way its played out, and you really didn't know how it was going to play out." -10.15.07 - answering a question on whether or not he was overjoyed at how the decision to start Derek Anderson at QB has played out

“As good as they think they are, they’re never as good as they think they are.” - 9.21.07 - speaking of rookies

"If...if I didn't eat as much, I'd be skinny, you know?" - 9.20.07 - talking about uselessness of speculation

"If you make a throw and the receiver dives for the ball and catches it, then it's a good throw and a good play. If you make the throw and the receiver dives for the ball and drops it, then it's not a good play. So that's how close it is." - 9.17.07 - Explaining the fine line between a good team and a bad team

"A division win! How about that? Yaaaay.'' - 9.16.07 - After Cleveland beats Cincinatti 51 - 45

"Last week we lost, this week we won, so we're 1-1." - 9.16.07
