Your 2009 Cleveland Browns


Of course with any Cleveland team there are going to be negatives. We currently sit about 1/3 of the way through this season, so lets take a look at the vast collection of negatives that have accumulated so far.

Eric Mantarded was hired.
We traded down in the draft and picked a center.
The whole "who's gonna start at QB" debacle.
Stallworthless.
Lurch at starting QB for the foreseeable future.
Sir Drops a Lot gets traded for another guy (Chansi Stuckey) who's hands seem to be related.
The Cleveland Browns have dropped 16 passes the past two games.
The trade deadline came with no movement.
Our leading tackler is on the I.R.
Brian Robiskie (our first 2nd rd pick) seems to have vanished off the face of the earth.
Our most promising rookie (out of camp at least), James Davis, was put on the I.R. after some extra curricular activities.
Our current 1-5 record.
Our lone win of 6-3.
Josh Cribbs not getting a new contract.
People at ESPN talkin smack (thanks T.G.)
Eric Wright flipping his car.
The fact that our defensive coordinator looks like "The Dude" and/or Miss Piggy.
Josh Cribbs still looking to restructure his contact. (C'mon Lerner).
12 players currently have the flu or flu-like symptoms.
Three passing TD's so far this year. The recipeints were Robert Royal, Steve Heiden, and FB Lawrence Vickers. Not exactly our top play-makers.

As we head into this weekends game against the Green Bay Packers (our 2nd time this year). Don't expect much from our defense. With 25% of the team battling the flu, our leading tackler gone for the year, and our best conerback in Eric Wright now finished playing Dukes of Hazzard in his Mercedes, I'm not sure if several single game passing and total yard records will be broken by Aaron Rodgers and his team.

Don't expect much from our Brownies this weekend and just pray that if you don't have the NFL package on Direct TV that Fox will be showing a much better game at 1pm Sunday.

Odds and ends

On a slow day (although the day is still young) here is just a reminder and update on whats going on in the world of the Orange and Brown : Whispers from sources are saying that Rex Hadnot has had not a minor but serious knee injury. It's probably safe to say that you can put an I.R. next to his name. Don't miss Family Day at Cleveland Browns Stadium on August 9. Family Day includes the "Brown and White Scrimmage", which will allow Browns fans of all ages see the team take the field at the stadium. The "Brown and White Scrimmage" is a free, non-ticketed event. The fun starts at 10:30 a.m. on Tailgate Terrace and Alfred Lerner Way - where Browns fans of all ages can enjoy music and inflatables. Gates to the stadium open at 11 a.m., with the "Brown and White Scrimmage" set to kick off at 1 p.m. The first 25,000 fans entering the stadium will receive a free commemorative roster card.

Shaun Rodgers and Some Insight on the Draft

A customer of mine told me once one of the greatest words to live by some years ago. “Never let your meat loaf.” Back when I heard this I only thought of it in a sexual context.   But after hearing of the release of DT Shaun Rodgers this past week I was able to apply this great piece of advice from a half senile old man in a different way. The 10 year veteran had played only sparingly over the past two seasons.   He ended the 2009 season on the I.R. (as so many others did as well).   This past season sometime during training camp, Rodgers became gimpy and turned into the Lance Armstrong of stationary bikes.   During the regular season Mr. Rodgers was lucky to play 20 snaps a game. 2009 stats: 11 games played, 11 game starts, 36 tackles (9 assisted) 2 sacks. 2010 stats: 15 games played, 1 game start, 17 tackles (3 assisted) 2 sacks. Shaun's salary in 2010 was $6.9 million, his base for 2011 was 5.5 million.  Really didn't take a rocket scientist to figure ...
