After watching last night's game between my beloved Cleveland Browns and the Ravens, I've come to this brilliant conclusion: This is what I'd like to see on the sidelines next year (or sooner).Mr. Lerner, I'm pretty sure if you offered Jon Gruden the job, he'd take...

Still the Bungles

Nothing cures a team that's pretty much hopeless more than a game against Cincinnati. Yep, the Bengals are still the Bungles.I said the other day that it's difficult to predict what kind of team the Bengals would be today. This is a team that seems to win games they shouldn...

Whoa, sorry about that folks. I totally went negative there, something I really try not to do so much. What can I say, it's difficult not to feel down when you're subjected to futility week after week.And, speaking of Cincinnati, look who's not so Bengal-like this season...

Shame on You, Mangini

| Comments
Dear Mr. Mangini,I thought you were better than that. I really did.I'll be honest, I wasn't at all thrilled when you were hired as the new coach of our beloved Browns so soon into the coaching search. After all, we just ran a former Belichik underling out of town and here you...

As we head into the half trailing 20-0, here's a few of my of my observations.
•I just heard Steve Tasker say, "Baltimore have given him (Flacco) all the tools he needs to be successful." This statement perfectly illustrates what I've been saying all along about...

This week, I traded questions with Ravens blogger Tony Lombardi from ProFootball24x7.com. My questions, and his answers, are below. Enjoy.1. So, a 2-0 start is pretty good and with the Bears upsetting the Steelers last week, I'm guessing you feel pretty good atop the AFC North...

It's a whole new week. Let's forget about the first two weeks. Time to focus on the next opponent: The Baltimore Ravens.Ugh, the Ravens. They're 2-0 and atop the AFC North division (way to go, Bears!). By all means, this is no easy game for the Browns (of course, what game...
Week 2 Grades

Needless to say, Sunday’s loss to the Broncos was disappointing. OK, maybe it was beyond disappointing. Is it too much to ask that the Browns at least be competitive for four quarters each week? I don’t think so. Especially against a team that’s really not that great, despite...

I'm not too happy about yesterday's game.Don't get me wrong, I'm not jumping the gun and declaring the Mangini Era a failure already. I know it's only the second game. It baffles me that prior to the season, many Browns fans' expectations were not at all high...

Boy, I tell ya, the Browns just can't catch a break. Forget about any Cleveland Curse, this is just plain bad coincidence.First, although he wasn't our coach at the time, Mangini gets fined by the NFL for covering up Favre's injury last season. Now, the cover of Sports...

It may be cliché, but to say you must play all four quarters in order to win a football game truly describes the Browns 34-20 loss to Minnesota. As I mentioned yesterday, it was a tale of two halves — one good, one bad — for the Browns. Unfortunately, the bad half out-weighed...
