Hmm. So this is what rock bottom feels like. I was expecting something different.Despite the fact that Brady Quinn looked like an actual quarterback this afternoon, the Cleveland Browns found themselves on the wrong end of a 38-37 game to the Detroit Lions, who pushed their record...
Kokinis Out...Kosar In?

The Cleveland Browns announced the dismissal of General Manager George Kokinis late last night, and not only was he fired, but the dude had to be escorted out by security from the practice facility in Berea. Awesome. This reminds me of something from the Sopranos, with Eric Mangini...

Has anyone come to the conclusion that both Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn are not good enough to be starting NFL quarterbacks? Because I have.Derek Anderson is completely hamstringing this team, and his turnovers and inability to be an effective starting quarterback are not only...

After watching the Indians trade away every good player and their mother to contending teams (did you know CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee pitched against each other in game one of the World Series?) and the Browns laying a giant turd on the field week after week, there's one thing Cleveland...

It came down to Bobby Valentine (yes, this guy), Don Mattingly, Torey Lovullo, and Manny Acta for the Cleveland Indians vacant managerial gig, and Tribe General Manager Mark Shapiro and the Indians brass went with Acta. Or rather, they didn't go with the other guys.The former coach...
Week 5: "Like My Boy Johnny Drama Once Said..."

| Comments
It wasn't the most pretty way in the world to get a win, but it's a win nonetheless. Even despite Billy Cundiff's best effort to blow it in the final second by kicking out of bounds on the kickoff following his go-ahead field goal. I wonder how he responded to Eric Mangini...
Browns Dump Edwards to Jets

Braylon Edwards pretty much sealed his fate on Sunday night when he jacked on of LeBron James' dudes in the face at a Cleveland area night club, but that incident just begins to scratch the surface of Edwards' time in Cleveland.Despite catching 16 touchdown passes for the Browns...
Week 4: "Signs of Life"

When they lose last week like they did to the Baltimore Ravens, it doesn't really hurt. But to have victory within sight like the Browns did today against the Cincinnati Bengals, only to fall just short, well, that hurts.After the first quarter of play, this game looked like it...
Eric Wedge Fired

The Cleveland Sports Animal
| Comments
I think most people figured this would happen at one point or another, but I can honestly say I'm surprised it happened when it did, with just a few games left in the season. I guess it's nice to just get it out of the way.I still think Eric Wedge is a decent coach, but clearly...
Week 3: "Even Gus Johnson Thinks the Browns Suck"

Doing a weekly recap of this team is becoming increasingly difficult, because honestly, I’m trying my hardest to come up with something positive to mention, but there’s nothing there. Not a damn thing.For example, Jerome Harrison made a nice run in the first half to get the Browns...

There hasn’t been much to root for as a Cleveland sports fan this summer.The Cavs ended the season on a ****** note against the Orlando Magic, and we’ve been forced to watch the King answer the same question on various media outlets: “So, when are you coming to New York?” The...
Game 2: "Neckbeard's Revenge"

The Cleveland Sports Animal
| Comments
Going into this season, I marked this game at Cleveland's first win of the season. With all of the changes the Denver Broncos made in the off-season, this seemed like it would be a winnable road game, especially considering the Broncos defense gave up like 30 point per-game in...

I was hoping for a more positive post for the Cleveland Sport Animal's 500th post, but as with most posts following Browns football games, there isn't much good to talk about.It was pretty much a given that Adrian "Purple Jesus" Peterson was going to run all over...

Despite growing up in Berea, I didn't have any allegiance to the Ohio State University Buckeyes growing up. My parents weren't OSU fans, and my grandparents were actually Purdue fans. But there was no way I was rooting for the Boilermakers. I've always rooted for the Buckeyes...
Browns (Finally) Name Starting Quarterback

| Comments
It only took four preseason games to make the decision, but Browns first-year head coach has decided on a starting quarterback. And to the surprise of no one in Cleveland, it's going to be Brady Quinn.Quinn has outplayed Derek Anderson for the most part, and it makes perfect sense...
NFL Predictions: NFC South...

It’s pretty tough to get a grip on this division. It seems like Atlanta, New Orleans, and Carolina could all win it, while Tampa Bay is rebuilding after the end of the John Gruden era and will be in for a rough year in 2009.Bucs: Another day and another team fired its offensive coordinator...
NFL Predictions: NFC North...

I had a debate at my office the other day concerning the worst division in the National Football League. On one hand, you have the NFC North, where a .500 record usually means you're in playoff contention, which is just awful. Plus, the Detroit Lions are in this division, a team...

This division easily my most hated division in the entire NFL. Actually, it’s pretty much a given that I hate the Eastern division teams in almost every professional sports league.Bills: Buffalo Bills fans were already pretty big douchebags, and then they brought in T.O. and think...
NFL Predictions: AFC South...

It’s hard to pinpoint when exactly the AFC South became as dominant as any division in the NFL, but there’s no doubt it ranks among the league’s best with a good mixture of offensive and defensive based teams.Colts: The clear cut to win the division over the past decade or so...

Normally I try to stay away from making predictions on this blog, mostly because I’m usually wrong. But as we close in on the beginning of the 2009 NFL season, I just can’t resist predicting what’ll happen, beginning with the AFC North, which includes our beloved Cleveland Browns...

It’s been a long time since we’ve last heard from the Cleveland Browns. Or at least since we've talked about them on this blog.After getting spanked, 31-0, by the Pittsburgh Steelers in their 2008 regular season finale, the Browns canned both head coach Romeo Crennel and general...

I wanted to wait a few days after the Indians traded Victor Martinez to the Red Sox to post anything on here because I didn’t want to post my initial knee-jerk reactions to the trade. After a weekend to think it over, I’m still pretty pissed about all of these trades, but I’m...
