Coach/GM hunt: History repeating itself?

January 5, 2009

Mangini's top choice for GM to be interviewed, source says
That was the secondary headline in today's paper. It made me cringe, and you should too. The literal translation is that Eric Mangini, the former Jets coach and favorite for Browns owner Randy Lerner, is picking his own boss. That boss would be George Kokinis, [...]

Switching fandom 101

November 11, 2008

Browns v. Lions – Third quarter

August 23, 2008

August 23, 2008

First drive:  All of a sudden Jon Kitna looks like a junior Fran Tarkenton (for those of you under 40, look him up).  He completes two third and eights on the drive after scrambling away from pressure.  The good news is the Browns are getting pressure; the bad is that Kitna is evading it.  The [...]

August 23, 2008

Note: No fancy graphic today. I left it on my work computer. The game is at 4 p.m. on NBC.
