Best to be honest about this Edwards trade

It's interesting how the Indians are ripped for trading an established star who is going to be a free agent or who can't be retained and get young prospects in return. The Indians do it, they're folding the tent, giving … Continue reading

Be nice to know exactly what the Browns received for Braylon

I think the next Brown to be traded will be …

Brady Quinn. Lots of smoke again that he’s back on the block. And Quinn wore Braylon Edwards’ cleats to practice Wednesday. Not the kind of thing, it would seem, to endear himself to this coach. Remember how excited everyone was … Continue reading

In support of the notion that Braylon got what he wanted

What Rex Ryan has to say

Some Rex Ryan comments on acquiring Braylon Edwards: "I want to win now. Every team in the league should want to win now. In my opinion it’s a copout for any team to say, 'We’ve got a four-year program.' Well, … Continue reading

Why didn't this happen last season?

The case could be made that Braylon Edwards should have been jettisoned last season. Problem was the same coaching staff that tried to work with him last year saw him in 2007, when he put up amazing numbers. In fact, … Continue reading

Interesting take by Josh Cribbs

Josh Cribbs, when asked what he'd say to those who say Braylon Edwards was bad for the team: “I disagree. He’s a threat and that’s why teams double covered him every game. That is why teams account for him on … Continue reading

Pondering LeBron and Braylon

Early this morning someone offered to me that Braylon Edwards' trade to New York ensures LeBron James won't sign there. Theory being that the two don't like each other at all. But the more I think the more I think … Continue reading

This was rather funny

Heard the DJ on 104.1 say something to this effect this afternoon: "They finally got somebody to drop the ball in New York on New Year's Eve."

Trade obscures team's reality

Lost in the news of this trade is how this Browns season has disintegrated. Already. Think about this: Fans are actually celebrating the fact that the Browns played close against Cincinnati at home. Edwards, theoretically, was the best player on … Continue reading

The Browns trade Braylon Edwards

My quick thoughts on the Braylon Edwards deal, with obviously more to come: The Browns did the next best thing to suspending him. They traded him. Now he's New York's headache. I'd have suspended him. Hurt him in the wallet … Continue reading

First and 10 with the Browns: Suspend Braylon Edwards

First and 10 1)      The Browns should suspend Braylon Edwards for Sunday'a game in Buffalo. He earned it. Suspend him. Enact some true discipline, not the ceremonial kind that fines guys for minor offenses or forces them to run a … Continue reading

Braylon Edwards (allegedly) punched a friend of LeBron James in a bar in the wee hours of Monday morning. According to James, the guy weighs about 130 pounds. Nice. Real, real nice. What a joke.

The Browns look awful in Denver

I believe this is the moment where I get to say: "Gee, I hate to be negative … but …" The Browns stunk up the joint in Denver on Sunday. They played a team that many thought they could beat, … Continue reading

Braylon Edwards and Kyle Orton

I posted earlier that Brady Quinn described the Browns offense as “methodical.” I opined mainly on Quinn. But I must say that this approach does not bode well for Braylon Edwards in his contract year. By the way, Denver’s Kyle … Continue reading

First and 10: Time for Quinn?

First of the season … regular production begins the week of the opener. 1)      I think if Saturday was a regular season game the Browns get whacked pretty good. Kerry Collins and the Titans offense moved the ball pretty easily, and … Continue reading
