Last time Cavs started 6-2?

From the PD

2000-2001, Randy Wittman’s second season. That team would improve to 15-9 before Zydrunas Ilgauskas suffered his last foot injury. The Cavs went 15-43 the rest of the season.

I remember how shocked we all were at that team’s hot start. If the Cavs had a major injury (God forbid) this team would probably not collapse so completely as the 2000-2001 team. Injury is probably the only way this team fails to get to the playoffs.

How high does Hawk go?

A former Browns scout

“He’s got the top-notch athletic ability and the leadership – he’s got the whole package. Rarely do linebackers go in the top five, so I would guess ninth, 10th, something like that. Somebody would have to fall in love with him to go higher than that.”

Don’t know about you, but I’m in love. If he’s available when the Browns pick (which I think will be 4 or 5) they need to take him.

Creating the next T.O. – the whiny media blitz

Yeah. This is a positive development.

“They picked me up at 5:30 in the morning,” Edwards said on Wednesday. “I did the first radio interview at 5:50. Did FOX 8 or 5, I can’t remember which. Did some more radio interviews, took me home and then picked me up again. Did ESPN, “Best Damn Sports Show,” more radio. Went out to Mayfield Heights. . . . It was a lot of fun.” Edwards used the appearances to reiterate his frustration with not getting the ball enough in games.

Lovely. Just wonderful.

Creating the next T.O., one idiot at a time

Next in line to give Braylon Edwards a self-flagellating slurp job…Bud Shaw.

What he shared has been so obvious for long enough I think he showed restraint in not going door-to-door with a megaphone.

Yeah. Some restraint. Kid plays in seven whole games…can’t get more obvious than that. Give the kid a blog so he can whine 24/7. Shaw continues to amaze.

His timing suffers more because the past two receivers to talk themselves up were knocked down and dragged around Heinz Field as if they got a shoe caught in the saddle. Just because Northcutt and Antonio Bryant talked better games than they played shouldn’t reflect on the No. 3 overall draft pick.

Actually, yes, it should reflect on the No. 3 overall pick, given that just about every top pick the Browns have taken since 1999 has pretty much TANKED. In fact, every Browns top pick should automatically be given the benefit of NO doubt, the Browns should take every top pick and put them in a god damn wheel chair, pretend they are paraplegics, because that’s how low the expectations should be for every damn one of them. Let alone when they start flapping their mouths in response to a media just dying to create a story out of a crappy season, let alone when every other receiver on this team has a smack vs. delivery quotient that is just outta the park.

Man, the sports media in this town must be bored out of its mind. You guys need to get out more…didn’t you know Lebron James plays here? How much whining does he do?

Braylon’s big mouth

This pretty much tells me Braylon Edwards needs to shut up.

There appear to be several factors contributing to Edwards’ quiet rookie season. He missed the first two weeks of training camp in a contract holdout. He sat out two games with an infection. He seems to have little game-day chemistry with Dilfer.

The Browns have played 9 games. Given all this other stuff, that’s not enough for Braylon Edwards to be getting a mouth on him. I don’t care how talented he is.
