TEAMS:
Cleveland Browns
Recently, I have come to the conclusion that as Cleveland Browns fans’, we all need lots of professional help. In working towards a degree in the field of Psychology (counseling) I have been introduced to numerous psychological conditions and processes that we as Browns fans, apparently suffer from. Everything from schizophrenia, and narcissism, to bipolar disorder we appear to suffer many symptoms, but one thing we all have in common is a process known as the five stages of grief.
Coined by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross the “Five Stages of Grief” is a theory meant to explain how we as individuals...

A Twitter follower without a date to prom asked Joe Haden if he'd like to take her, and much to her surprise, he replied back that he'd love to.

Rookie chooses law school over NFL
Citing concussions as the reason, undrafted rookie Andrew Sweat passed up a chance to make the Cleveland Browns in order to go back to law school.
Keeping Perspective on Browns Rookie Camp Storylines
I was unable to make it to rookie camp this weekend to see and behold the skills of Brandon Weeden and Trent Richardson. In some ways that’s probably a good thing. I learned last year in regular training camp that it is quite a vacuum to look at football. Without some serious perspective it is easy to think the team is far better or far worse than reality.
That doesn’t mean it...
Las Vegas Not Buying Holmgren’s “Pretty Good Jump” Promise
If you thought it was hard enough to believe Mike Homgren last week when he said he expected the 2012 Browns to make “a pretty good jump,” here comes the people who risk real money on these promises to say that if Pat Shurmur’s charges are going to make any kind of significant jump next season, it’ll be backward.
As reported last week, Cantor Gaming, which operates the sports...
It’s safe to say that the Cleveland Browns coaching staff is in love with Trent Richardson
We knew that the Cleveland Browns liked Trent Richardson a lot. Heck, they basically traded their draft away to get the man. And though the greatest player to ever put on a Cleveland Browns jersey thinks Richardson is just “ordinary”, the Browns coaching staff couldn’t disagree more. And after what Richardson showed them at last weekend’s rookie mini-camp, the Browns coaching...
Browns DB Joe Haden takes Ohio girl to Prom
Cleveland Browns DB Joe Haden saved the prom dreams of an Ohio girl after her date bailed on her at the last minute. Joyce Grendel asked Haden if he would attend her high school prom with her, a bold step taken via Twitter after her original date backed out in the days before the event. To [...]

Cleveland Browns quarterback Colts McCoy is not ready to lay down and hand over the starting job to rookie Brandon Weeden. He recently told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer that he’s working the hardest he’s ever worked in order to compete.
I’m a competitor and I’m working harder than ever,” McCoy wrote in an email to the Plain-Dealer.
McCoy has...
A Closer Look At The Browns
The AFC North is always tough, and 2011 was no exception. All four teams were in the top 10 in overall defense. They made up half of the AFC playoff teams, going a combined 25-15 outside the division. Even the Browns were an almost respectable 4-6 outside the AFC North.
2012 should be similar. So getting a better look at the rest of the division to see what should be coming our...
Browns make roster moves
The Browns have cut running back Armond Smith and signed linebacker Emmanuel Acho, one of their 11 draft picks.
Smith made Cleveland's roster last season as an undrafted free agent. He played in three games and spent 11 weeks on the team's practice squad.
Acho, who started 48 career games at Texas, was selected in the sixth round. His signing leaves running back Trent Richardson...
Browns optimistic Phil Taylor will play in 2012
According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, the Cleveland Browns are optimistic that defensive tackle Phil Taylor will be able to make a significant impact during the 2012 season, despite the fact that he just tore his pectoral muscle.
I think Taylor will start out the regular season on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list, which will force him to miss the...
Browns Quarterbacks: a Competition or a Side Show
The Cleveland Browns after completing their rookie mini-camp over the weekend will now be throwing the veterans into the mix. Media outlets have quickly began their assault for ratings regarding the Browns with headlines such as "QB competition heats up this week", "Colt McCoy Vs. Brandon Weeden" and several others that would have a WWE promoter green with envy...
Tonight at 6 Browns Running Back Montario Hardesty CS360 Show
Tonight at 6 we have the Cleveland Browns Running Back Montario Hardesty on the Cleveland Sports 360 Show. Drafted in the second round of the 2010 draft Hardesty has the promises of being one of the best running backs in the NFL. Montario has been hampered by injuries since joining the Cleveland Browns and hasn’t been able to perform to the potential he has.
The same type of thing...
Browns’ Phil Taylor to have surgery on his torn pectoral
Phil Taylor tore his pectoral muscle last week lifting weights and he’ll have surgery to repair it this week on May 16th. The recovery time is expected to be 4-6 months for the 2011 1st round pick out of Baylor. He’ll almost definitely start the season on the PUP and might not play until November or December or not at all if the Browns are predictably out of the mix by that point...
Browns Say Rookie WR Travis Benjamin Is In The Mix To Start
Rookie Travis Benjamin, the Cleveland Browns' fourth-round draft pick, will be in the mix for a starting wide receiver spot, coach Pat Shurmur told The Plain Dealer on Sunday. "I would say so," Shurmur said. "I saw a lot of good stuff from Travis this weekend and I feel like he'll only continue to get better." Shurmur expects the speedy receiver out of...
