Delayed does that mean a few hours or a few days? ,

I have a stalker again. Gee, this is terrific. Who knows, maybe it's that "Rick" asshat. Or "Rich G." Who cares, but come on, 7:57 am through 11:33 am? And you say that *I* have too much free time?

I'm not a Browns fan at all, and have been a Steelers fan since I watched my first football game with the Steelers in the Super Bowl in 74. (I do however like the Cavs and Indians) Anyways the reason I am writing is have you seen the Broncos throw back uniforms? To me the brown helmet is not bad – maybe Cleveland should consider a brown color helmet? I am just sick of seeing the ugly orange.

Unfortunately, "gutting" the organization was exactly what was needed. To expect the gap between the Steelers and Browns to shorten five games in is a little silly. I suspect there will be concrete improvement in the second half.

3) This team would be light years better if they had simply built around D.A. after his 2007 season. Yes, he had a rough end to 2008 but, as I believe Sam Rutigliano once said "If you can do it once (re: making plays in the NFL) you can do it again." The Browns have become the place where QB's careers go to die.

The last thing they should do in the draft is pick the next "40 million before they've done anything" can't miss prospect.

4) Lerner needs to put a football person in charge of his operation.

Period. The end.

If Mangini doesn't like it, he should be shown the door.

That's the only way to develop any continuity and sense of direction on this team. When Cowher was hired by Pittsburgh, they didn't change a thing in regards to their fundamental approach to the game. Same thing when they hired Tomlin. Mangini may or may not be a good football coach, but so far he leaves a lot to be desired as a GM and evaluator of talent.

The scope of those jobs are simply too big for one guy, especially for one guy that hasn't proven he can successfully perform one of the three.

5) You clearly aren't in sync with one of your favorite commentators on this one.

6) We kinda part ways on this one. I don't share your misty-eyed sentiments on BQ. I'm way more concerned about the path of the Browns than his career. Besides, at the rate QB's get injured in the league (anyone remember the end of last year?) it's only a matter of time before he gets another chance to show he's capable of playing QB in the NFL. Lastly, he does get paid (and well) for all this suffering, doesn't he? I should be so tormented.

And lastly, a brief comment on the uniforms, since it was brought up in the comments.
This is another example of Mangini thumbing his nose at the fans.
Les Levine mentioned this week that the Browns asked season ticket holders what uniforms they preferred at home games, and 88% said all white (of which I'm a fan as well)

Can't you just see Mangini being told this and saying "That's nice; we're wearing the brown ones."

The cool part of wearing all white at home was that you probably wore it on the road as well since most home teams wear their dark colors at home.

No, this means zip, zilch, nada as it relates to winning games, but it shows Mangini's disdain for what Browns fans want. And, last I checked, fans are the ones who help pay his salary.

Sorry Alan, but I don't think it is necessary to make posts using your name to make you look like an idiot…I feel you do a pretty good job on your own.

The moron who is posting using my name is right about one thing, I *am* obsessed with that first-down call. So are a lot of other folks I've seen while surfing on some Browns fan sites. I found this after I found the other link. Brownie fans are wrong. So was Rob Ryan. And somebody in the media needs to tell that guy to get a haircut. http://xr.com/fw3
