• Keep Romeo, starting over just too tough

  Keep Romeo, starting over just too tough Of all things. So inept has been the Browns front office over the past few years that it is now in the position of having to choose the lesser of two evils: (1) impale itself on the sword of chaos by firing Romeo Crennel and starting all over again or (2) keep Crennel and hope that the situation improves and doesn’t turn into another slow water torture that earmarked the 2006 season. - Elyria Chronicle Telegram: Doug Clarke Posted Dec 30 2006, 08:58 AM by barrymcbride with no comments

Psssst, anyone have a number for Brian Sipe or Dan Pastorini?
