(AP Photo/Ed Reinke, File) Browse more photos » Well, the Browns have shown a little competence throwing the football for the first time in about 20 games. Granted, it was against one of the worst defenses I can remember in the NFL, but at this point, we'll take it. Now the Bro...

Expectations Downgraded to "Nothing" for Browns' Offense Against Lions

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:51:21 -0500

More photos » by Carlos Osorio - AP At least the Lions can score a touchdown every could of games. Browse more photos » Every week, I try to reach as far as I can into the bag of optimism for the Cleveland Browns. The result usually predicts the Browns to still lose by two possessions every week. Where does the level of optimism come in? It comes in the fact that for some reason, I keep on picking the Brow...

Ex-Lions WR Furrey back home in Ohio, still headed for a fall

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:34:11 -0500

Receiver Mike Furrey left Detroit with some choice words for Lions management, put on IR either at his wish or their command, depending on whom you believe. And suffice to say, the hard feelings were somewhat mutual, though Furrey had a career-best year in a Lions uniform in 2006 and was actively

Furrey playing both ways for Browns

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:47:00 -0500

Browns coach Eric Mangini raves about wide receiver/defensive back Mike Furrey, a former Lion who will return Sunday to Ford Field. "What a great guy," Mangini said. "He's unbelievable. He's such a good example, especially for us where we have young receivers, of what it means to be a pro and what it means to take advantage of opportunities that you have. "He's played offense for us. He's played defense for us. He's selfless. He's a great person i...

According to Advanced NFL Stats, the Browns are 32nd in total team efficiency and the Lions are 31st (Football Outsiders actually has the Lions 32nd, Raiders 31st, and the Browns 30th). This will be a game played by two of the most terrible teams in the NFL. Is this year's v...

Take the Frownie Challenge! (Win $100 and Help Our Cleveland Browns!)

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:42:00 -0500

With so many Tuesday Morning Bill Walshes around who are so sure they'd be able to do so much more with the Browns offensive talent than Eric Mangini and Brian Daboll have, this Challenge should be especially fun and especially productive.(Ummm . . . Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . . .Ball! Ball! )With all of these TMBW's and the rest of the Mangini witch-hunters so insistent upon ignoring all signs of progress evident in last night's excellent and unquestionably season-best defensi...

The One Where a WR is a DB and a OL is a TE

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:00:10 -0500

We have all heard of the phrase “Only in Cleveland.” We have all discussed the whole mantra where the square pegs are being forced into the round hole. And we have all discussed how Eric Mangini has tried to emulate his one-time chieftain Bill Belechick. Alas, our nickel defensive back is wide receiver Mike Furrey and our short-distance [...]

VIDEO: Going Over The Middle In Football Might Hurt A Little

Tue, 26 Jun 2007 14:37:51 -0500

I love those scrappy little receivers who have the balls to go over the middle and take the big hit. Hell, Mike Furrey had quite a campaign in 2006 using that exact strategy. But if there's a more dangerous situation in sports, I'd love to see it. I'm pretty sure the guy in this video would too.
