1 — Apparently the Patriots really are mad. Note what Tom Brady had to say about the accusation that videotaping the defensive signals of opposing teams meant the Patriots were cheating. It just does not seem like a good idea to make the Patriots mad.
2 — Can someone please explain to me why Britney Spears' former bodyguard has held a press conference, and why we should care in the least? His attorney said the bodyguard will tell of nudity, among other things. After that VMA appearance I'm not sure that's what the world needs.
3 — Good crowd for game two of the Indians-Tigers series. Good atmosphere. Travis Hafner's third-inning bomb really got them going. The more Hafner hits, the better the Indians chances.
4 — I guess O.J. was in that Vegas hotel room in his never-ending search for the real killer, eh?

Is there anything left to say about the Browns?
Unfortunately the bosses make me find at least 10 things every week.
So (warning: shameless plug coming) they make me do this weekly newsletter on the Browns called "First and 10" that is delivered free of charge, without coupon books, to your e-mail address every week.
If you want to sign up, and again it is free and chock full of insights and information and letters and funny stuff (could it get more shameless), go here and register and sign up.
Meanwhile, I have a couple comments on the NFL:
1) I think the Ravens got hosed last night when Todd Heap was flagged for offensive interference on a late touchdown catch. Should have been a score.
2) Interesting to hear Ladainian Tomlinson talk of the Patriots' alleged "spying" practices. LT said he think the Patriots follow the axiom that "If you're not cheating you're not trying."
3) One of the more interesting and offbeat NFL web sites can be found here.
4) Chad Johnson promised more big-time celebrations this weekend in Cleveland. Hope it's better than the Lawrence Vickers dance.
5) Spying or no, the Patriots give no reason to believe they will not run away with the AFC and Super Bowl titles.
Have a great day or evening or whatever time of the day it is in your world …
