A lot of interesting news...

Sorry for the absence, but life's a bit crazy at the moment. (I know all 6 of you have been holding your breath, and yes that includes you Mom.) Top Dawg is swamped at work, I've been traveling a lot, and Bird has been skiing, alot. After this weekend look for more consistant posts. Also you can look forward to the Browns Draft Report, which was the first post on this site almost a year ago. I know that Bird and Top Dawg are beginning their preliminary work on it as I write!

Glad to hear about Romeo, and it sounds like Tucker will be a pretty good D Coordinator. Interesting scuttlebut about how Grantham over played his hand as the heir apparent to a crumbling Crennel, and then got sent packing. I hope we sign J Lew to a 3 year deal, use his last two good years, and then eitehr cut him or pepper him in here and there much like the Steelers used Bettis late in his carreer. Looks like the Anderson signing has hit a bit of a snag. I'd like to see both Brady and Anderson on the roster next year, but have serious doubts as to how that could work. Oh well. Gotta love the off-season! Apparently there's a game being played this weekend...

Another interesting thought Bird sent me a bit ago which he found on ESPN Page 2:

"Here's what you should do this week if someone tries to argue that after SB XLII the Patriots will be the greatest pro football dynasty of all time: Hold up your hand, make a look like someone just tipped over garbage, and then bark these two words: Cleveland Browns.From 1946 to 1955 the Browns played in 10 STRAIGHT league championship games, winning seven (four in the All-America Football Conference and three NFL titles in 1950, 1954 and 1955.) During this decade of dominance Cleveland was guided by visionary Hall of Fame coach Paul Brown, who invented, among other things, the playbook and the West Coast Offense, and led on the field by legendary HOF quarterback Otto Graham (who went 114-20-4 during this amazing 10-year run.) So, yeah, congrats to the Patriots Dynasty. Now you only need to reach nine more Super Bowls. In a row."

It's Official, Chudzinski is signed through 2011


Although, that really means we can guarantee him being here only another year, that's still better than having him go to Baltimore. Looks like his incentive package was pretty good too.



Chud Gets Extension


It's looking like we might have Rob Chudzinski and Romeo Crennel around for a few more years. Both are reportedly in talks to extend their contracts. I like it. Now let's get Lewis extended!


Romeo Gets Game Ball

Pretty cool speach at the end of this clip which shows how much this team loves Crennel.

Chud to Interview for Ravens Gig...

Check out the article.



I'm not sure why he'd want to coach there, but I have a feeling the fact that Savage is even letting Chud interview is out of common courtesy for his good buddy Ozzie. Let's hope there's a little "wink wink" between Savage and Ozzie meaning: "No way he gets this gig, but it will be good for him to have an interview, as he obviously wants to be a head coach." I have a hard time believing they're going to stake their future on Chud (as much as I love him) after only one year as a coordinator in the league. If this were next year and the Browns again had a top 10 offense with two 1000 yard receivers, and a 1000 yard back, I'd be worried. Let's hope that happens...

JIM SORGI SHOULD BE ARRESTED...


For stealing his salary. That was an embarassing performance for an NFL quarterback. I would have rather had Spergon Wynn in the game (not Doug Pederson though). And the Colts in general should be embarassed for laying down. I had nothing against them only playing starters a limited amount of time...that was their right. But totally laying down in the second half, especially offensively, is inexcusable. And not using their last time out is incontrovertible proof that they were not trying to win the game. Yes, I'm bitter...

"That's just not Right"


I love this story


"My favorite jersey is the Kellen Winslow jersey that I walked into my wedding reception wearing. Regrettably, I married a Ravens fan, but we made a grand entrance in our jerseys as the Monday Night Football theme played. We went to the Browns-Ravens game the next day wearing our jerseys and a little boy turned to his father when he saw us holding hands and said, "That's just not right." Our union has meant good luck for the Browns, though, as we've beaten the Ravens twice this year! I wore the jersey again to the Ravens game in Baltimore, and I think it may have helped with the immaculate deflection!"

How many players from this video can you name only watching it once (Browns only...each player only counts once)? I think I got a 28.

I love Jim Donavon

First, there was "Run William Run." Then there was "Take a bow Kid." Now listen to the call of Jamal Lewis' 31 yard touchdown yesterday to seal the victory. It is spectacular.

Use this link and watch the NFL Network Recap.

Also, another great quote by Jim D following the TD run.
"Dial up the Pilot and tell him to warm up the plane. The Browns are coming home 8-5."

GET OFF ME, B$TCHES! BROWNS WIN!

Quote of the Week


This is totally random and doesn't have anything to do with Football, but I had to post it. It's from my buddy Vince Martin, who's a stand-up comedian. The best part is, he wasn't really trying to be funny here!

"I was in Cleveland last weekend -- did one show Friday to 13 people and one show Saturday to 12 people. We stayed in a motel called the Oak Park Motel which -- I swear -- had a charge on the rate schedule of $20.00 for bloodstains. I thought that was a reasonable rate, though it says something about the quality of an establishment when they see bloodstains often enough that they have to install a charge for them."

C-Town baby!
