Training Camp Is On

The most promising thing I've read about training camp so far is that Frye is 20 pounds heavier than last year. That's crazy -- it's not easy to gain 20 pounds of good weight in an offseason, is it?

Sounds like DeMario Minter is out for the year after having some work on his knee. That sucks. While I didn't expect Minter to be an immediate impact player, he sounds like a true special-teams/depth guy who could become the replacement for a guy like McCutcheon. That can't be happening for at least a year or two.

Looking through the training camp photos from Day 1 over at Cleveland.com, I can't help it... I'm excited. It's cool seeing Winslow in Browns uniform again. And it's awesome seeing Joe Jurevicius and LeCharles Bentley suiting up for us.

I think it is damn cool that Randy Lerner may purchase Aston Villa, though recent reports sound like maybe he's souring on the deal. But I'm daydreaming anyway of the Browns having a sister-team in the Premiership. And if Lerner is this serious now, it seems likely he'll jump in at some point over the next few years.

Jerry Porter is being shopped by the Raiders, and he's demanding a trade too. That's makes Porter and Ashley Lelie as potentially starter-quality wide outs who are available. At first I thought, "Cool, maybe this depresses the Broncos asking price for Lelie and the Browns snag him for Lee Suggs." But then I read the Raiders are asking for two #1 picks for Porter. That is just laughable.

Travis Hafner on Casey Blake's inside-the-park homer: "Any self-respecting power hitter would have stopped at third." Hehe. Say waht you want about the crappy season the Indians have had, but I still like the team and most of the players on it. I don't feel like I'm rooting for a bunch of jerkoffs. But man, they better get it together next season or else we won't see these "core" players together any more.

No, I'm not going to make any attempt to do daily blog entries regarding training camp. Even I can't think of that much blather.

Please tell me Bentley being carted of the field is some early camp joke.
