From ESPN…
NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and longtime owners Art Modell and Ralph Wilson are on the preliminary list that includes five former head coaches and 11 contributors.
Why does this man still keep getting mentioned for Canton? If he ever gets in, they’d better have riot police down there for the induction.
From Roger Brown…
According to CBS Sports officials, 10 percent of the nation’s viewers will see their Browns-Houston network telecast, not bad considering the game matches two poor teams with pop-gun offenses. The 1 p.m. game airs on WOIO Channel 19.
Good lord, I could barely stand to watch last week’s game. And I’m a Browns fan! Who’s buying ads on that airtime, Trent Dilfer?
Looks like we got another Z in the mix….Zendon Hamilton made the final cut over Jahidi White. But this tidbit on cutting Kelenna Azubuike was HARSH.
“The knock on him coming out of Kentucky is that he doesn’t play on every play and I experienced that with him in training camp,” Brown said. “In terms of talent and ability, he has it. He just has to come to play on every single play. . . . If he can do that, he will be a mainstay in this league.”
Ouch. Here’s the final roster, which is a good reminder that Anderson Verajao is still on the team. Yikes….when he comes back, that bench is gonna be something.
Pre-season over….so what kind of team is this? ABJ lays it out pretty well (free registration required).
In stretches, the Cavs have proven to be very difficult to score on in the half court. This delights coach Mike Brown, who designated the preseason as a time to install a defensive foundation his team can fall back on when all else fails. The offense often continues to look raw and disjointed, resulting in oodles of turnovers. It did again Wednesday, as the Cavs turned it over a preseason-high 30 times, though a majority were by the backups.
Offense will come together over time. I think by December, this team will be scoring at will.
Great story in the Houston Chronicle about Browns fans. Including a kid who used to live down the street from me in Middleburg Hts., Texans 3rd string QB Dave Ragone.
Ragone, the Texans’ third-string quarterback, was born in Middleburg, Ohio, about three hours from Cleveland. He became a standout athlete at St. Ingatius High School in Cleveland. Life revolved around football. “My whole family follows the Browns,” Ragone said. “They’ve always followed them.”
Umm, that would be Middleburg HEIGHTS, Ohio, fellas. Ragone isn’t so much of a Browns fan anymore, apparently, but Reliant Stadium is expecting a lot of Browns fans.
“Cleveland fans are crazy for their team,” said cornerback Lewis Sanders, who spent his first five years in the NFL at Cleveland before joining the Texans this season. “That tradition is what makes the team so special. All you’d ever hear about was the Dawg Pound. They love their team.”
Yeah. We love our team. Even when they stink up the place.
