Chew on this
If DB Jereme Perry makes the team and appears in a game for the Browns this season -- and his odds are pretty decent -- he will become the first "sandwicher" of the new Browns era. I use the term to mean a player who appears in a regular season...

Back forty
As someone born in 1968, I love this NFL Films video. Enjoy Warfield's grace, a ball-hawking secondary, a great period soundtrack, and gems like this from mouth of Gib Shanley : Twenty-six-year-old Milt Morin is the biggest, most effective tight end...

50 turns 51
The Browns think they may have landed something of a ringer by drafting Beau Bell in the fourth round. Time will tell, but today is as good a time as any to reflect briefly on another linebacker that the Browns acquired to play inside on their 3-4 defense...

Zahursky's dirty nose
Beat writer Steve Doerschuk has a nice blog post today, reflecting on some of the undrafted free agents of the Browns' recent past. Relive the brief but unforgotten Browns careers of Bill Duff, C.J. Jones, "Sweaty" Rob Smith, and Clint Stickdorn...

Egregious Snub Publishing Nitwits
So according to ESPN , the Browns never had a first-round pick before Tim Couch came along. And Baltimore? Well, their draft lineage is the one that includes Ozzie Newsome, Clay Matthews, Eric Metcalf, yes, even Steve Everitt! Granted, more than half...

The phantom '40s
The official site's Steve King, whose pieces on Browns history are generally pretty decent, strikes a Browns-versus-the-NFL note in reporting on the league's rebuff of Senator Sherrod Brown's request to have AAFC statistics recognized by the...

Todd man out
Some week, huh? We get the Chud drama settling with a reassuring contract extension. There's Phil Savage's season-wrapping presser and all its news hooks, including a possible extension for honcho Romeo himself. Then, an intriguing team and media...

Double digit demise
Ouch. It's the off-season already. The Browns had the inside track to the playoffs, but after spinning out in Cincy and then failing to get a competitive effort from Tony Dungy last night, they're out. They're just the third 10-6 team in 15...

Harkening heart
Do you need any reason to get pumped about Sunday's game in Cincitucky? Playoffs on the line. Cross-state banter between the players, without the Pepto this time. Intrastate division rivalry. Sequel to September's 51-45 shootout. Tiebreaker of...

Deck the Hall
Quick: which Browns receiver was named to the NFL's All Decade Team for the 1960s? No-brainer. Gotta be Hall of Famer Paul Warfield, right? No? Hmmm. Gotta be a trick question. Then how about Hall of Famer Bobby Mitchell, the halfback who put up more...

A game changer for the ages
Had the life and times of the late great Bill Willis received more than one twentieth of the attention given to the sudden death of Sean Taylor , there would be more justice and virtue in this world. In the few minutes I have today, there's no way...

Oddity in threes
The Browns have now played 878 games in their history. Only three of them (0.3%) have ended with the score 33-30. All went to overtime. Two of them are the Browns' most recent wins. They are sandwiched around a loss at Pittsburgh. The third one was...

The passing prankster
Sorry to be a few days late with the news , but I didn't want the death of George Ratterman to pass without a brief appreciation. I'm too young to have seen him play, but Ratterman deserves recognition for his unique place in the history of the...
