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.

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.

Given the nature of the AFC, where only the Bengals, Chiefs and Raiders are really the only teams out of it, it will probably take a 10-6 record to make it as a wild card team this year. And that would be luck.
Here's a look at the final nine games of the season for the [...]

Cleveland Browns: In the Locker Room

September 17, 2008

Ummm…sure the Northeast Ohio Browns media were in the locker room this afternoon, but it resembled something out of an episode of The X-Files.  Many players were mysteriously missing.  Yes, we know that the problem lies in the fact that they lost this past Sunday, but as one person in the room observed:  "You're here [...]
