All it has taken is one statement from Joe Banner about Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden to throw the ms-informed fans in Cleveland into a Weeden frenzy. Joe Banner did not say Brandon Weeden is going to be the Browns starting quarterback in the 2013 season. What Banner said was, ” The Brown are going to give Brandon Weeden every chance to be the Browns starting quarterback.” “The rest will be up to Brandon Weeden.” That isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement of the 29-year-old quarterback, who turns 30 shortly after the season starts. Weeden didn’t win the approval of the Browns new owner, or the front office the team has in place this season. As a matter of fact the Browns general manager, Michael Lombardi has made public statements about his dis-like for Weeden. Lombardi said The Rookie. Quarterback Was a disaster. He was lost on the field. Taking everything into consideration, you cannot view any of these statements about Weeden as a major endorsement. Weeden has a ton of work to ...

I don’t feel like it, but let’s talk Browns
People are always talking about the Browns, it seems. Usually I’m one of the ones talking the most, but I don’t really feel like it right now. So to prove it to you, I’ll talk Browns just enough to tell you why it’s kind of boring to me right now.

Draft Zone Spotlight: Tim Sauer, OT, University of Northern Iowa
Northern Iowa is famous for putting hogs into the NFL. Tim Sauer is the next big hog that could make the NFL. Last year, no one was talking about L.J. Fort and he ended starting week one for the Cleveland Browns. Sauer is by far one of the biggest men I have watched on film, at 6’8, 304 pounds, he led the UNI...
2013 NFL Draft: Weak draft? Fits for Browns at No. 6

Anyway, after letting him laugh at me, Scott and I spent a nice amount of time discussing the news of the day in longer form.
