Your Stats are Ruthless and You Don't Deserve a Team

"The fans are ruthless and don't deserve a winner. I will never forget getting cheered when I was injured. I know at times I wasn't great. I hope and pray I'm playing when my team comes to town and (we) roll them."

Well good luck with that Lurch.

For a man/professional athlete who never showed any amount of emotion on or off the field, he sure pulled out a drug induced Corey Haim today. (Also, is it just me or did it seem that Lurch was always on horse tranquilizers?)

Lurch, if you happen to read this, please ask your wife to assist you in reading this and explain to you what I am about to lay out for you both......

You would never have come to Cleveland if not for former Browns GM Phil Savage.

You wanna lay blame, blame Savage for bringing your sorry inaccurate throwing ass to Cleveland.

You wanna live in the past and bask in the glory in what was your 2007 campaign, go find a time machine or a hot tube and relive it. And remember you still had 19 INT's that year. Its one thing to be a Brett Favre, but Favre wins games.

You are so bad that Charlie "Future Arena League Star" Frye beat you out for a starting gig.

Your worst decision ever was playing in the Pro Bowl. Why? Because even when defense isn't played you still couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

Your speeches are nearly as stupefying as Tim Couch's:
"I've been here going on four years now and laid it on the line for this team and city," Couch said. "For them to turn on me and boo me in my home stadium is a joke. I've worked my butt off here and it's hard to take, man."

Here's an idea for you both.....The majority of players at the QB position want to be there, they want the ball, the want the cheerleaders (and in some cases Playmate models), they want the big money, they want the fame, they want the endorsements, they want the spotlight. But with the good also comes the bad.

What always seems lost in the mind of a young sports professional is that when your play sucks, we (the fans) are expected to look the other way.

I DON'T SPEND MONEY TO GO TO THE GAMES TO STARE OUT OF THE STADIUM TO LOOK AT THE LAKE FOR 3 HOURS.

You must accept the fact that on your best days you are a marginal quarterback. Yes, the talent that surrounded you was sub-par, but your talent was more stagnate than a swamp in Georgia in the middle of summer.

Finally your apology earlier today from your little hissy fit was about as lame and see through as I may have ever seen. Your agents attempt to put out the fire, ended being a misfire. Enjoy your permanent position as placeholder for PAT's in either Seattle or Arizona.

When you pull this "why don't you love me" bullsh*t, at least man up and do it in front of a camera and start the waterworks instead of Tweeting about it. Now go back home to Scappoose and live with your family of Sasquatches.

UFA TE Ben Watson visits Browns on Thurs

Brady Quinn now on trading block (again?)

The Browns, and other teams have no success in on again off again discussions for QB's McNabb and Kolb from Philly

Browns offer no guarantee to veteran QB Jake Delhomme, as Browns want to see what he has left. He will visit on Thurs.

Immediate interest in recently released RB Justin Fargas (Oakland) could be a solid move. No deal in place, but talks underway.

Brady Quinn would welcome a trade if the team isn't committed to him as the starter, a league source told The PD

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 ...

The Season That was 2009

I know some have you have given me the WTF. Well get over it. With the playoffs now starting today, us Brownie faithful now turn our attention to off season departures (or lack thereof, how the hell our Off Cord kept his job I will never know), Josh Cribbs contract dispute, free agency, and of course the draft in April (where we pick 7th). Questions on offense...... Although I wanted Brady Quinn to be the starter all season, the only flash of anything positive came against the Detroit Lions where the play calling was really aggressive and lets be honest, even Lurch (DA) could have scored at will against there porous defense. Alas Brady is not the answer. And DA could only make one other QB in the league look good..... JaMarcus Russell . But do we draft another Notre Dame player in the first round again? Jeff Faine and BQ obviously have not worked out. Jamal Lewis will retire, but Jerome Harrisons stock is on the rise. (man, saying that made me feel like Mel Kiper). And lets not for...

NFL Trade Deadline at 4pm Today.

With any of the 4 major sports, there are always rumors galour during the trade deadline. Along with an Indians team that fell well short of expectations. The Browns may also be in a selling mood. Names being mentioned have been Joshua Cribbs, Brady Quinn, Kameron Wimbley and Shaun Rodgers. Another name being mentioned as been former Buckeye Ted Ginn Jr of the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins may now have realized that they took him way to high in the draft just a few years ago. However if the Browns want a vertical threat at the right price, Ginn could be there man. If you recall rumors circulated earlier this year that the Dolphins and Browns were talking Braylon Edwards and Ronnie Brown. Maybe we can trade Wimbley for Bill Parcells instead? At this point I am still reluctant to give up Wimbley. Yes, he has fallen short of expectations from his standout rookie season, but on the other hand, he already has matched his sack totals from a year ago (4), and is on pace to beat his tota...
