Supersized census a smart strategy

Gotta like the idea of inviting a whopping 54 players to try out this weekend's minicamp. Yep, that's in addition to the five draftees and 15 undrafted free agents signed this week. Some of the tryout invitees played for big-time programs and slipped through the cracks in the draft and the ensuing...

Hey Tony ...

... Dungy, that is: You don't care about the Browns. I know that. You're a former Steeler, after all. You had a job to do last night, and that was to protect your best players from getting hurt and missing their next game two weeks forward. Fine. The players you sent out there did try. They did...

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 a 34-34 all-time series. It's a big one, all...

GO DILFER!

Trent Dilfer threatened to retire rather than return to the Browns in 2006, despite inking a handsome four-year contract the year prior. The thought of subbing for Charlie Frye while enduring another year of Mo Carthon was just too much. Understandable, but watching his failed tenure in Cleveland unfold...

MO JOB SNOW JOB

I have asked the Arizona Cardinals to change their website's bio of Maurice Carthon , their running backs coach. An excerpt of my email to them: In two places, it states that Carthon spent the past two seasons as offensive coordinator of the Browns. In fact, Carthon resigned his position on or about...

SIGNAL CALLER OUTER

North Olmstead native Brian Hoyer, now the starting QB for Michigan State, was quoted in the Lansing State Journal (found via the OBR Newswire and Yahoo Sports) as disavowing his Browns fandom because they drafted Brady Quinn. "I can't root for them anymore, ever since they drafted that guy...

HEIDEN INDEED

Fascinating if unsurprising example of how the Browns' web site reflects a rapid response PR war room mentality: Let's start with some reportage from the Canton Repository's Steve Doerschuk on Tuesday : Tight end Steve Heiden, a co-captain who came to the team in 2001, let out the most provocative...

THE WORKHORSE, THE SON, & THE STUDENT

In the wake of the Mike Vick episode, the NFL is kicking off a new series of image ads showing the human side of its players, "to do everything necessary to protect the strength of our brand." Touching sentiment, no? So which team's players do they feature on literally half of these 30...
