Bitter Towards Butch?

Found November 13, 2008 on Waiting For Next Year: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Kelly Holcomb,  Jeff Garcia
TEAMS: Cleveland Browns

The Butch Davis era was one that most Browns fans would love to forget. Sure, he lead the team to a 7-9 record during his first year as the head coach, and then improved that to a 9-7 mark with a spot in the playoffs. PLAYOFFS!? We then had our first taste of a quarterback controversy with Timmy Tears and Kelly Holcomb; Holcomb ultimately won the starting gig. In 2003, that 9-7 record turned into a 5-11 with trouble brewing. The year 2004 rolled around and Davis signed the "savior" Jeff Garcia, cut our former first overall selection, and threw in the towel after a 3-8 start. He wound up with a Cleveland career record of 24-35, and left Cleveland with some other formidable memories.

Brady, Romeo and Quittersa??

The Pigskin Podcast decided to devote their Friday show to the Browns, and asked me to step in and answer some questions.

Quitters?

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  November 12, 2008
This is the NFL, you can't call it quits until the game is over. But it looks to me like some people called it quits before that. Denver was down, but they didn't call it quits. They kept their heads up and they finished. We didn't do that two weeks in a row — at home. Some people need to check their egos at the door and find some heart to come out here and play hard...

Browns are "worst-coached half-decent team"

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  November 12, 2008
Now, I don't know what exactly this says for Herm Edwards and the Kansas City Chiefs, but Bill Simmons has named the Cleveland Browns #25 in his latest rankings calling them the "worst-coached half-decent" team in the league. I guess that makes the Chiefs the "worst-coached borderline-awful" team.*** I am sure there are a fair number of Simmons haters out...
