...I would be very surprised if it didn't come out sometime in the not-too-distant future that the Derek Anderson camp is "slightly" "offended" by the Browns' initial contract offer. You might see that on The OBR at some point; or even in the Only Cleveland Print Publication after reading The OBR.
...Great read by The OBR's Lane Adkins on the Todd Grantham situation, posted right HERE for your perusing pleasure. If you don't already have a subscription, do it now. It's well worth it just for the three-parter Lane's putting out there. Plus, it'll help pay for that yacht I'm buying and planning on docking in the south of France.
...C'mon, TMZ. Leave Brittany and however many personas she has alone. Yer better than that. What's that? Shit. Never mind.
...The Browns are none too pleased that Kellen Winslow is delaying his decision on whether or not to have further work done on his knee and/or shoulder based on possible participation in a practice game.
...Related to the above, I took Romeo Crennel's answer to one question asked of him at his PC earlier this week--if he is fine with Winslow's medical delay--and put it through the prism of an OBR Bullshit filter, and here's what the machine spit back at me:
I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about the Pro Bowl, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about the Pro Bowl. Not the game that he goes out there and dies for and plays every game like it's his last but we're talking about the Pro Bowl, man. How silly is that?... I know it's important, I honestly do but we're talking about the Pro Bowl. We're talking about the Pro Bowl, man. We're talking about the Pro Bowl. We're talking about the Pro Bowl. We're not talking about the game. We're talking about the Pro Bowl... but we're talking about the Pro Bowl right now.
...On the personal tip, I'm happy for Crennel. For his contract extension. I still don't get it, though, the need for two more years as a show of continuity. What's that? Chud was recently re-upped 'til 2011? To quote the great lyricists Tag Team, whoomp, there it is.
...With the exception of Marv Levy—who is a statistical, physiological and Methuselogical anomaly—there has only been one head coach in NFL history older than the age of 58 to have won a Super Bowl in his first appearance.
Weeb Ewbank was 61 years, 242 days old when he won SB III as head coach of the Jets team that shocked the NFL world.
When Super Bowl XLIII is played on February 1, 2009, Crennel will be 61 years, 228 days old.
...Orpheus Roye's cap number for the 2008 season will be $5.5 million. He just turned 35 ten days ago. The Browns would save roughly $3 million against the cap by releasing the defensive end. You make the call.
...Just throwing this out there: if Hillary bests Barack for the Democratic nomination and goes on to become the POTUS, will the C-word trump the N-bomb for divisiveness? How does all of that buzzword, must-fire-Imus shit work, anyway?
...Redneck Post of the Weak: "Arguing on internet blogs is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, your still retarded."
Your right, good sir. Here's you're sign...
