Kellen Winslow

The other side regarding the Winslow contract

April 13, 2009

Interesting take from Peter King on Kellen Winslow's contract, and it kind of shows how figures can be manipulated:
"I think the real story of the Kellen Winslow contract is it is hardly the biggest contract ever for a tight end, as was advertised. Winslow will earn $11.8 million guaranteed his first two years of the [...]

The Bucs give Kellen Winslow $20 million

April 7, 2009

NFL teams occasionally do things that make you sit up and say, "What?"
So it goes with the Tampa Bay Bucs, who Monday signed ex-Browns tight end Kellen Winslow to a six-year contract extension that makes Winslow the highest paid tight end in NFL history. This of course is their right. As Americans, we all have [...]

Winslow traded, Ben breaks his leg

February 27, 2009

The Browns should be dancing with lampshades on their heads if they really got a second-round draft pick for Kellen Winslow. That's what SI.com's Don Banks reported, and if it's true Butch and Sundance need to stand up and say: Who are these guys?
Kellen Winslow did a lot for the Browns in his tenure with [...]

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 [...]

First and 10: Wisdom (?) from a taxi driver

October 28, 2008

First and 10 …
Written from Boston where I will view the Cavs season opener … (HEY … it's a business trip!)
1)      So I'm walking to the car in Jacksonville after the game on Sunday and I run across Chris Gardocki, the team's former punter who attended the game. He was out in the parking lot [...]

Rogers a wrecking crew in Browns win

October 27, 2008

When the Browns traded for Shaun Rogers, all the negative publicity from Detroit followed him to Cleveland. Lazy. Takes plays off. Overweight. Overpaid. But then people started to tell me that when he wanted to play, Rogers was nearly unblockable.
Well that unblockable Shaun Rogers showed up Sunday in Jacksonville. He was primarily responsible for the [...]

Savage talks Winslow

October 23, 2008

   Phil Savage went on WTAM Thursday and addressed the Kellen Winslow situation.
   In a huge way.
   I'm going to try to stick to Savage's words as he said them, but if you want to hear the interview it's here. Suffice it to say Savage spoke with great passion and emotion.
   First, Savage addressed being [...]

Trying to sort through Kellen Winslow's suspension

October 22, 2008

 A very many quick and not-so-quick thoughts on Kellen Winslow:
 –Nobody has been a bigger supporter of Winslow than me, to the point that people asked me why. Here's why: He has rare heart and desire and competitiveness, qualities that win. He played through pain that would have sidelined 98 percent of NFL players.
–His coach knew that. [...]

First and 10: Topsy has become turvy, or something like that

October 21, 2008

First and 10
1)      I think I've got this season figured out. This Sunday in Jacksonville the Browns come up with a stirring win. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh loses to the Giants and lo and behold the Browns are two back heading back home and the fans are back on the hook until the next painfully loss. The [...]

A real bad day in Washington

October 19, 2008

It takes no great insight or genius on sports to realize what happened to the Browns in Washington: They forgot what it takes to win. It's not like they had that down this season anyway. I mean, a letdown of a season is in full bloom, after six games. So let's rephrase this way: The Browns [...]

First and 10: Oh what a win

October 14, 2008

First, a personal note: The Akron Beacon Journal taketh away and the Akron Beacon Journal giveth. I was informed this week that the layoff notice presented a few weeks ago has been rescinded. Thus I will stay with the Beacon Journal, at least until they get this layoff bug up their hind end again.
This may [...]

The Browns fall to oh-and-three …

September 21, 2008

How do the Browns go from leading in the first half to being blown out of Baltimore in the second? Turnovers and silly penalties. Leading 10-7, Ray Lewis blew up Kellen Winslow on a short reception. Winslow was pretty much set up by Anderson, who led him right into Lewis, whose big hit led to [...]

The Browns announce their roster cuts

August 30, 2008

Browns cuts included a third-round pick – Travis Wilson, Too, a veteran lineman – Lennie Friedman — was placed on injured reserve. LB Kris Griffin and TE Darnell Dinkins made the roster, so their injuries must not be serious. Same with WR Syndric Steptoe. But there are only five receivers – Braylon Edwards, Donte Stallworth, Joshua Cribbs [...]
