You're a Better Man Than I Am, Brady Quinn

Vinny and the Hornless Rhino — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:37:00 GMT

For those of you who are long-time readers of my drivel, you know I've never been a big fan of Brady Quinn. Heck, I started bashing the guy even before the Browns drafted him. But I've got to admit, after watching Quinn deal with his situation...(read more)

Huh??? OH SH*T !!!

What the hell happened while I was enjoying a little baseball?

Vinny and the Hornless Rhino — Sun, 18 May 2008 15:43:00 GMT

Well, it's the off season for football. So, that means some calamity has to strike the Browns. It has . Ryan Tucker broke his hip and will miss two months, or so SI reports. Two months is probably the estimate some deluded physician gave, but that's...(read more)

It's a pretty cool movie. My kids, who are 8 and 5, loved it and wanted to stick around and see it again. We didn't. Here are a few of my thoughts: Christina Ricci looks great. John Goodman looks a lot like Pops. Lots of people were singing the...(read more)

How about that...

I saw a little baseball history last night at the Prog last night. With runners on first and second and the Blue Jays trying a hit and run, Asdrubal Cabrera snagged a line drive, stepped on second, and then tagged a runner, who'd rounded second and...(read more)

CAVS get bounced out of the playoffs.

Vinny and the Hornless Rhino — Fri, 09 May 2008 11:55:00 GMT

A few loyal readers have written and pointed out that the Rhino and I haven't been posting as frequently as we had. Guilty. We've both been busy. That's why I want to publish the inevitable news of the Cavs' playoff demise while I have...(read more)

Round 7--- someone the writers don't know

Vinny and the Hornless Rhino — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 22:12:00 GMT

With pick #231, the Browns finally drafted a pass rusher--- Alex Hall of St. Augustine, a Division II All American. Hall's 6'6" and 260 pounds defensive end. He had 7 sacks and 15 tackles for loss in 9 games this past season. His unofficial...(read more)

Picks 190 and 191

Vinny and the Hornless Rhino — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 20:27:00 GMT

The Browns had back-to-back picks in the 6th round. They used the first, which they got from Seattle in the Charlie Frye trade, to take a nose tackle, Ahtyba Rubin , of Iowa State. He's 6'3" and weighs 315 pounds. At Iowa State, he clogged...(read more)

Here come the Browns---ahead of schedule

Vinny and the Hornless Rhino — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 16:35:00 GMT

Savage did what I thought he would---he jumped up to draft early in the 4th round. He traded his 4th (#122) and 5th (#155) to Dallas for pick #104. With it, he took Beau Bell , a linebacker from UNLV. Bell's a tough guy and a good tackler. There's...(read more)

Well, here we go without the fanfare.

Vinny and the Hornless Rhino — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 10:56:00 GMT

All loyal readers know that NFL Draft Day is one of the favorites around V&THR corporate headquarters. Not so much this year. The Browns first scheduled pick is in round 4 (#122). All the rags have written that Savage has already had his draft by...(read more)

Okay, I'm Back

Vinny and the Hornless Rhino — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:29:00 GMT

I know it's been a while. Did anybody miss me? Yeah, I didn't think so. Anyway, why didn't I write anything for almost two months? The answer is that I've been dealing with a severe case of Cleveland sports malaise. For better or worse...(read more)

SI seems to like one and questions the other.

Vinny and the Hornless Rhino — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 01:18:00 GMT

Don Banks of SI.com loves the Browns' acquisition of Corey Williams. Here's what he said: " One deal that seems like a grand slam to me at first glance is the Browns acquiring Packers defensive tackle Corey Williams for a '08 second-round...(read more)

Rust never sleeps. He's at it again.

Vinny and the Hornless Rhino — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 13:11:00 GMT

Apparently, Savage wasn't satisfied giving up his highest pick for a defensive lineman in the early morning on Friday, because he did it again late last night. The Browns traded Leigh Bodden and their 3rd (57th overall) to get talented but sometimes...(read more)

I know absolutely nothing.

Vinny and the Hornless Rhino — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:36:00 GMT

The Browns just signed free agent QB, Derek Anderson. Huh ? I guess my post a couple of hours ago was pretty stupid. So, does this mean that the Browns will really sit out the first day of the draft, or will Savage trade Anderson to a team for something...(read more)
