Borwns talk

Hey Gang
If Sunday wasn’t bad enough Romeo Crennel and Brian Hoyer jabbed a finger in Cleveland’s eye. They sure looked decent on Monday Night Football. Didn’t they? Gotta love it.

Speaking of Sunday…. I woke up my usually time of about 1. I turned on the tube as I normally do to see if the world ended and what was on? A disaster in France with a stampede of people running. That’s depressing so I switch channels to the Browns game and I witnessed another disaster. Manziel throwing the football behind him on the first play with the Steelers stampeding. OY!

Yes football returned to Cleveland in 1999 and Browns fans ARE STLL WAITING for the team to show up. But it wasn’t all bad. Manziel was sober.

There is a new app available only being offered in the Cleveland viewing area. It switches Browns uniforms to the opposition and the opposition uniforms to the Browns. This way every Sunday Browns fans are guaranteed to watch a winner.

Mike Pettine vows that if the front office sticks with him he will guarantee a six win season in four years. For Cleveland that’s Super Bowl territory so there is hope.

At least the Browns are not the only team with quarterback questions. Ole Stiff Neck in Denver seems to be on a downward spiral. They should have kept on praying with Tebow or is it playing with? I told you when the deal was made it was a bad move. Denver won some games but not the top prize.

Finally back to the Browns. Did you honestly think the Browns would win more than 4 or 5 games this season? I didn't. So quit getting upset and enjoy Sundays, the Browns are right on schedule. They never disappoint unless you're looking for a winning season. GO BROWNS!

Gotta Go-Go!

Sports Talk – Carey's Take

Love is the future

This was my initial reaction watching the Cavs opening game – Kevin Love was the best part of Lebron's return, he is the future. I also made this prediction that night that if the Cavs are mediocre by the end of January look for the Cavs to trade Lebron for a bunch of draft picks and young players and build around Love and Irving

Remember Lebron only has a two year deal and who is to say he will resign or is it possible that he just flat out retires? Other sport stars with plenty of years left retired while at the top of their game. And what I have seen of Lebron it seems that drive, the energy of earlier years is lacking. After all he has been in the league since the age of 18. Lets see how this plays out but thats what I predict can happen in the future, Lebron is gone but Love remains.

Browns have division and no division

Can any Cleveland team get it right? The Browns are in the midst of a play off run and 12 games into the season they switch quarterbacks? Even though their run game is almost non existent, injuries to their starting center and back up, with a cast of no name receivers Hoyer is standing in there finding ways to win. How soon we forget how inept the Browns have been the last 5 years. A 7 and 5 record should not produce panic.

Who is to blame for the bad routes and timing between Hoyer and Gordon? Gordon for getting suspended and the coaching staff for not weening him into games, not Hoyer. Gordon should not be getting as much playing time to disrupt the offense. Who is to blame for the fumbled balls? Letting go of Phil Dawson? Not finding a legit kick and punt returner? Not Hoyer.

Only Cincinnati won this past Sunday so the division is still up for grabs, no one is running away with it. This was not the time to change quarterbacks, shame on the coaching staff. Hoyer should finish the season and what ever the Browns record ends at it is still a drastic improvement over the past years and who knows the Browns could still pull off a division title. So let the quarterback controversy start next year in training.

As of now the Browns have division and will not win the division unless Manziel is put back on the bench and Hoyer propped back up.

Gripe one

Who else is tired of watching the black athlete with the curly dreadlocks spilling out from his helmet and flopping all over the place. One Troy Polamalu is enough, the rest look like a bunch of black Raggedy Ann dolls in football jerseys.

I hate pink

I hate that pink is being applied to all sports in recognition of breast cancer awareness. It sissifies the manliness of the game and really its not the place for it. Besides in Cleveland we have enough boobs running around on the field that we don't need to be reminded.

Question for you...

Hey Gang,
Question for you.

Who's reunion at the Q was it on Thursday night - Led Zepplin or Lebron James?

I thought it was Led Zeppelin as the Song Remains the Same, then again it could have been Lebron's as the song always remains the same for Cleveland.... another let down.


Oh well that's the way the ball bounces, at least in Cleveland.

Gotta GoGo!!

As one season ends......

Hey Gang,
Ahhh yes.... the unmistakeable joy of being a Cleveland sports fan. While one highly successful season ends - another one is under way, in case you haven't guessed I am being facetious.
Wednesday Walt had extra tickets to see the Indians play. Wonder why he had extra's? He won them at the Painesville Speedway raffle. I asked you sure it wasn't a booby prize? To make matters worse, he won two sets of tickets. Well I couldn't let Walt sit alone watching the pathetic tribe so I went along.
Gosh was the place empty. We guesstimated ohhhhh maybe 8,000, MAYBE. It was funny, everyone we asked didn't pay for their tickets. This couple behind us said their place of employment had 100 tickets for the employees but they still were left with 75.
The fans who did not attend missed out because the Indians didn't disappoint, they put on another stellar performance losing the game only by a few runs, 11 to 3. Very close.
If you aren't from Cleveland you don't understand the game plan. Its called the 5 year plan. Every 5 years they trade all their good players and rebuild. And then they tell us BOY just wait in 5 years this teem will be good and then they trade all the good players away and on and on it goes.
I still think its a debt Cleveland owes to organized crime. OK we let you win in '48 and let you get close in the 90's but you still owe us your good players - Capeesh?
I mean it was weird, who were these new guys? I saw only one name I recognized, Hafner, now why didn't they ship him out? Simple, he fits in with the scheme of things, non productive.
If that wasn't bad enough watching this horrible rendition of the movie Major league as we were leaving they gave me a schedule for next year. I asked the guy you mean they are coming back, how insulting?
And so it goes but lets not lose heart, we still have the Browns, and if all goes well, we may win a game.
As that old over used saying goes, Go Tribe and take the Browns with you but please do it soon we could use that stadium for a good flea market.

Gotta GoGo!!
