A Decade of Ben

"This is about being a Pittsburgh Steeler for as long as I can be. I love Pittsburgh," Roethlisberger said. He added that he "wanted to be like the Dan Marinos, like the John Elways, guys who played with one team their whole career." To all the Steelers fans... I actually have some...

Football seasons come and go, but good books endure. Below is the most comprehensive list anywhere of books related to the Cleveland Browns -- journalism, memoir, history, biography, photography, reference and more -- even true crime and fiction. (Media guides, yearbooks, and books for juvenile readers...

Status Chek

What do you do? You listen to dead men sing and run endlessly and dream of lost brothers. You might still say "Araby" is your favorite short story but the truth is that "Araby" was the last short story you read, and it'd probably the next thing you read if you had to consider...

THIRD STRING PLUCKING

The PeeDee's Tony Grossi thinks the rule about third quarterbacks is " dumb ." However, his summary of the rule lacks context. He wrote: If a third quarterback is inserted before the fourth quarter, a team’s first two quarterbacks cannot be used in the game at any position. It is a coach...

OPENING ODDS

If not for a systematic bias by the NFL schedule-maker, the odds that the Browns would start the regular season at home for each of the nine years of the expansion era are one in 512, or 0.2%. The weather is one obvious explanation. Looking at the final four regular season games of the year, Cleveland...

QB 2B

Ah, the all-important quarterback question. The biggest toss-up as training camp approaches. Will last year's local favorite, Charlie Frye, ever be a quality starter? Will Derek Anderson strong-arm the job away from him? When will hot-shot rookie Brady Quinn sign something more meaningful than $75...

In Praise of Milwaukee

Major League I love the fact that Indians are in Milwaukee this week. OK, maybe _love_ is a little strong since it sucks to have the weather we've had. But of all the possible solutions to the problem I think going to Milwaukee was the best. Milwaukee is a great city and is comparable to Cleveland...

TONY'S TRANSPLANT

Strange year for former Browns who wore #66. First the belated glory of Gene Hickerson's election to the Hall of Fame, tempered by the news of his dementia. Then yesterday, we learned that former left tackle Tony Jones recently had a kidney transplant at age 40. His problems began while he was still...

Why Drennan?

It is amazing that Bruce Drennan, out of prison for only a couple weeks, has already lined up broadcast work on Sportstime Ohio and elsewhere. I don't say that because he is a convicted gambler covering professional sports -- nothing shocks me anymore. I'm amazed because Drennan is not an entertaining...
