Crennel needs miracle to keep job

November 30, 2008

In other news, it's cold outside. I mostly just wanted to forget about today's game. So, here is this story.
Among the notes in it, the Browns could be looking at a Schottenheimer. But could it be young Brian Schottenheimer, the Jets' offensive coordinator? Boy, I hope not. Here is who the article lists as a [...]

Finding thanks as a Browns fan

November 27, 2008

So, you're a Browns fan who lets the Browns' terrible play bother you. What's the point of being a Browns fan?
Well, just be thankful you're not a Detroit Lions fan. The Browns may stink in primetime, but stinking during the Thanksgiving day game before everyone falls asleep? That's a whole new level of awful we [...]

Savage (supposedly) gives fan written middle finger

November 20, 2008

I usually try and stay from it, but I saw this yesterday on Deadspin and couldn't resist mentioning it.
Basically, a fan e-mails Savage complaining how the team doesn't play the right players, the coaches are no good, etc. You know, the usual fan complaints that tell Savage he's doing a terrible job.
Savage's (alleged) response?
Go root [...]

Switching fandom 101

November 11, 2008

So, you're sick of being a Browns fan. You watch the team not live up to expectations. Sitting in the snow sucks. Reading about how players quit on the team is a drag.
Because you're a paying fan, you let your voice be heard (albeit mostly anonymously). Phil Savage should be fired. Romeo Crennel should be [...]

Savage's biggest mistake

November 10, 2008

Nor, it wasn't signing Donte Stallworth or shipping Jeff Faine to New Orleans. Nor was it hiring Romeo Crennel (that was mostly done by Randy Lerner and John Collins). Or trading three draft picks from the latest draft.
Watching the Ravens game yesterday, it was clear. Phil Savage's biggest mistake was one of his first. [...]

Neat photo from Thursday

November 7, 2008

Looking over photos from last night's game, this one stuck out to me.

The photo was taken by Phil Masturzo, quite possibly the greatest photographer under the sun (or moon). See more his Browns shots here.

Is this the play that cost the Browns a season?

November 3, 2008

There it is, masterfully shot by the Beacon Journal's Ed Suba Jr. There is Browns Pro Bowl receiver Braylon Edwards dropping that deep fourth-quarter pass Sunday.
With that drop, did the Browns season effectively (or ineffectively) come to an end? Did the end come earlier this year? Has the end not come yet?
We've had some spirited [...]
