Change of the guard

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports — Jaws @ 5:56 pm

The Browns traded away Brady Quinn today, for a no name RB and low round draft picks

Now with both Derrick Anderson and Quinn gone–it looks like the Browns front office is really re-tooling the offense (which was pathetic last year)

Not much commentary up yet on the trade–though with the Browns recently having signed Delhomme and Wallace–Quinn’s departure seemed inevitable.

Only in Cleveland

Cleveland Cavaliers fans snuggle up to world record for most fleece blankets in one place

More importantly–the Cavs won the game

Browns do something right!

Browns to restructure Cribbs’ deal

Very good move in keeping Cribbs on the team.

Now what else the Browns do…well….

It’s Frozen!

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO — Jaws @ 10:04 pm

There’s going to be a lot of celebrating on the Eastern coast of Lake Erie–as the lake has frozen over!

A frozen lake means less moisture, which means less possibility of lake effect snow!

Still the fact that the lake froze over is cool. Now what if the Cuyahoga River froze over? That would be so neat!

Astroturfing?

The Plain Dealer blows the whistle on the prolific letter writer “Ellie Light”

While astroturfing isn’t anything new or novel–credit should go to the Plain Dealer.

First time since ‘94!

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports — Jaws @ 6:21 pm

The Browns win 4 in a row for the first time since 1994!

Okay, not like they played the best teams the last couple of weeks, but still…the Browns actually putting toget a winning streak–a sign of end times?

Browns Win (again?!?!?)

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO — Jaws @ 5:35 pm

Not sure how many teams manage to concede 389 yards of offense to their opponents but still win 23-9!

The 3 INTs the Brown’s defense came up with were obviously clutch.

The Browns stil need to work on their Red Zone efficiency (they went 2 for 5) today. But a win is a win….

A sign of the apocolypse?

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports — Jaws @ 12:02 pm

The Browns are actually listed as favorites for their game against the Raiders today!

The Browns as favorites? Even though it’s only by 3.5, this year?!?!

12/20/2009

A winning streak?!?!?!/!

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports, Wierd Side — Jaws @ 5:19 pm

The Browns have managed to win two games in a row!

More important—the Browns knew how to engineer a winning streak?

Harrison and Cribbs both had huge games today.

Looks like life in the bizzaro world continues…

Browns Win?!?!?!?

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports — Jaws @ 12:18 am

Whaaa!

13-6!

I’m going to bed…this is too strange to believe.

/It’s been too long since the Steelers have gone down to the Dawgs!

Browns lead at half?!?!

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports — Jaws @ 11:04 pm

The Browns actually have a lead at half-time?

Have they even had a lead this year at the half?

5 sacks of the Pitt QB in one half? Huh!?!?

Something must be amiss on Lake Erie tonight.

Granted, these are the Browns, and t here’s still a whole half to play.

12/6/2009

Browns lose…again

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports — Jaws @ 9:57 pm

On the bright side–it was a lot closer than I imagined! 30-23!

They actually got in the end zone offensively! 3 times no less!

Granted, there’s no defense to speak of.

Got to find me a brown paper bag to wear the next time (if ever) the Browns game is televised here.

Doesn’t matter

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports — Jaws @ 10:41 pm

Whomever starts at QB for the Browns won’t make a difference

Eric Mangini won’t reveal Cleveland Browns QB for Ravens until Wednesday

The Browns offense is still pathetic and they’re going to lose to the Ravens.

Though with a week until the game, it looks like Cleveland area fans could be spared viewing the game.

So I voted

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, New York City, Politics — Jaws @ 10:49 pm

Conceeding to pressure from my parents and nagging from The Brother, after work, I stopped by my local polling place (granted, it’s on the opposite end of the block which I live on).

The place was pretty much empty, at 7pm when I went, save for the poll volunteers.

There really wasn’t much to vote for. It’s conventional wisdom that Bloomberg is going to get a third term, the Dem nominees for Public Advocate (De Blasso) and Controller (Liu) are given winners. Even my local city council race was a given for the incumbent.

Nor were there any real issues or exciting matters oin the ballot. Contrast this to my home state of Ohio–where eyes are on Issue 3 (allowing casino gambling) and in Cuyahoga County–governement reform.

Corrective action

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports — Jaws @ 10:06 pm

It’s a good first step:

Reports: Browns fire GM Kokinis

Next idea: re-do the Brown schedule, so the teams they face the rest of this disasterous season include the: Raiders, Redskins, Chiefs, Bucs (catching the trend?) Maybe the team could then eke out another win or two?

Today’s Trainwreck

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports — Jaws @ 11:57 am

The headline in the Plain Dealer says it all about the Browns:

After a week of injury and illness, can Cleveland Browns find enough to challenge the Packers?

Er….no.

10/21/2009

Yes it can get worse

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports — Jaws @ 10:40 pm

As if the Browns weren’t pathetic enough this year already:

Browns hammered by flu

The team has been sacked by the flu.

On Wednesday, 12 players, including Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers and five other starters, missed practice with flulike symptoms as the team began installing the game plan for Sunday’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Only Cleveland sports…

10/11/2009

Browns win!?!?!

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports — Jaws @ 7:24 pm

In what can only be a fluke…the Browns finally won a game!

Although they did it without a touchdown (6-3)

A sign of devine intervention perhaps?
(Maybe that last thought came from my spending most of the weekend in/at shul)

10/7/2009

Good bye Edwards!

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports — Jaws @ 8:55 pm

Browns deal embattled WR Edwards to Jets

Will he actually be able to hold onto the ball with the Jets?

10/6/2009

Only in Cleveland

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, Sports — Jaws @ 9:49 pm

Only in Cleveland would a Browns player (allegedly) punch a friend of the City’s biggest star (LeBron)

Cleveland Sports: A never ending facepalm?
