Pairing the roster
Dizzy from the swirl of off-season transactions? The helpful handle I grab is to match incoming and outgoing players by position. Such an at-a-glance view makes it easier to analyze the net effect on the roster, while also signaling where the next moves might come. Unmatched outbound players indicate a [...]

Browns stats you probably haven’t seen, with good reason
Each year I update a little spreadsheet of Browns stats since their 1999 return. Don’t ask me why. Maybe it’s so I can, in excruciatingly exacting detail, understand just how it is that I am still waiting for a return to championship football, and just how soon that glorious, as-yet-mythical campaign might manifest itself on [...]

Gimme five: new life for sudden death
Sudden death overtime was a great idea for its time. The invention of former commissioner Bert Bell (who, incidentally, suffered his own sudden death at the first game he attended following the epic 1958 NFL championship) added excitement to the sport by reducing the all-too-common kiss-your-sister anticlimax of two teams slugging it out for 60 [...]

The legendary founding football coach of the Cleveland Browns, Paul Brown, continues to stock Canton’s Hall of Fame, long past both his retirement and his passing.
