ok pat, it's after the raven's mauling of the browns. since you are on the chopping block it is time to stop defending this team and it's coach. if november is it for you at the abj go out with a bang and hammer this team and the management because they deserve it. go out on top pat. because the browns sure won't.

Hey, am I missing something? I bought the Beacon Journal a few times over the course of the past week, and I didn't see one mention of layoffs. Did I miss the issue announcing the layoffs? Is there some kind of Nixonian cover-up going on? Now that Jay Mariotti has quit the Chicago Sun-Times, is that hack replacing Pat? Oh, the many mysteries.

Fans boo at fake pickoff throws because it deprives them of the thrill of seeing the real thing.

Isn't it also true that the Indians will be the last team to win a playoff game (and series) at the old Yankee Stadium?? Pretty cool, eh?

Two questions for Pat:

1) Why has the previously promised weekly "You Are An Idiot" portion of "First and 10" failed to appear? Much like the Browns, I guess your unfulfilled promise was nothing but hype.

2) This really isn't a question, per se, just a notable mention of another major Northeast Ohio exit to occur soon after the Akron Beacon Journal's imminent demise: Did any local sportswriter out there happen to note that Dan Gilbert is out of the Forbes 400? He is no longer on the list of the wealthiest guys and gals in America. Gone. Now I'm not saying he is ever going to be standing in the next line for free government cheese, but I am saying that if LeBron leaves, the Cavaliers are going to follow soon thereafter. Guaranteed.

First Pat, then LeBron, then the Beacon Journal, then the Cavaliers. In that order. Vamoose. It will be almost as painful as seeing Bruce Drennan in high-definition.

I hope Pat will churn out some kind of a column mentioning this before he's rehired by the Browns, assuming he didn't burn his bridges like General Sherman torched Atlanta. Or maybe he'll make a call and get hired by the Dolphins to create newsy pages like this:
