The Donte Stallworth situation

March 15, 2009

I'm well aware of what happened with Donte Stallworth, that he hit and killed a pedestrian while driving his Bentley in Miami early Saturday morning. But I'm not going to comment. A man lost his life, and until all the facts are known, I think it's best to respect the man and his family and [...]

First and 10: Where do we start with the Browns?

November 25, 2008

First and 10
1)      I've been thinking and thinking all day about the Browns and I just don't know where to start. Where does one start with this team?
2)      It seems to be a team disintegrating in front of our eyes. The GM sends a completely inappropriate e-mail to a fan. He's taking fans' e-mails while [...]

Browns win, but boy was that ugly …

September 28, 2008

At one point during the Browns oh-so-exciting win over the Bengals, an e-mailer sent a colleague a note in the press box that watching that game was like "watching a cactus grow."
Boy was it.
The Browns did not play well in their win, but they won, and that's what they needed. Boy did they. Because a [...]

Random thoughts from a wandering mind

September 17, 2008

Evidently the idea is to teach the receivers to focus on the ball. As it approaches they shout out the number. Next week: A lesson on the location of the line of scrimmage.
Item: Gus Frerotte replaces Tarvaris Jackson as Minnesota Vikings quarterback.
I'm thinking that when [...]

The Browns: Knees, muscles and Horns

September 11, 2008

Way back on Aug. 26, I wrote that when a guy has swelling in his knee it usually means a tear of some sort – and typically it’s cartilage. Yes, this is shameless self-promotion, but it took no great genius to say that was Sean Jones’ problem back in preseason. He had swelling on [...]

Browns lose the opener, and look bad doing it

September 7, 2008

It's really impossible to fathom losing nine of 10 season openers at home. That's an indication that a team is either a) really not very good or b) really not prepared or c) a really not very good and not very prepared or d) really, really unlucky. This Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys were far and [...]

Favre, the Indians, our bountiful water … and I need some help on this Yellowstone topic

July 13, 2008

It’s kind of confusing what’s happening in Green Bay with Brett Favre. Not his teenage I won’t-I will stances toward football, mind you. But the Packers attitude toward Favre. A few months ago Favre had led the Packers to the NFC Championship Game and he was the greatest thing to happen to upper Wisconsin since [...]
