Cleveland Browns

Brady Quinn

The Denver Broncos acquire Brady Quinn. The Broncos acquired the former first-round draft pick from the Cleveland Browns for fullback Peyton Hillis, a 2011 sixth-round draft pick and a conditional pick in 2012. Not a good sign if you are Kyle Orton and want a new contract and as for Chris Simms, well it’s been nice [...]

Contextless Sports Thoughts

For some reason, I think bringing in Charlie Weis as offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns makes some sense if the Browns think that Brady Quinn can be salvaged as a decent quarterback.  Mangini’s offensive philosophy doesn’t fit anyone in Cleveland (other than opposing defenses).  I am not so confident that giving Bernie Kosar a [...]

The end of the Charlie Weis era

Well Charlie Weis is out at Notre Dame.  Notre Dame had an incredible aerial attack but couldn’t run the ball out on close games and had a horrific defense for most of Weis’ tenure.  In the end Weis didn’t beat better teams than Notre Dame and often were beat by inferior teams. Despite that, I [...]

Contextless Football Thoughts

I was up at the lake this weekend and the little bit of football news I got was through Twitter.  It’s always nerve wracking to come home and wonder if your team or teams won. Okay, let’s just admit that Notre Dame will probably be 10-2 heading into a BCS bowl game and we still [...]

Stay Classy Coach

Michael Silver has a great column on the lack of social skills shown by many in the Bill Belichick coaching tree. It’s the latest testament to Mangini’s apparent lack of tact and people skills, personality traits he honed under his estranged mentor, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick. Like two other Belichick disciples, new Kansas [...]

Torn

I am a die hard Denver Bronco fan but I am also a Brady Quinn fan and while I am excited that he is starting, I really wish his first start didn’t come against my struggling Denver Broncos. Of course Cleveland isn’t doing much better and while Derek Anderson isn’t playing great, what is really [...]
