Vick is going away for 23 months!  I hope someone finds him very attractive in prison.  Should have been longer but I will take it.

I think the only thing any TRUE Browns fan can say at this point is "WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?!?!"  How exciting is it to hear announcers talking about playoffs with the Browns.  Or how Cribbs is the best kick return in the NFL right now, or how Phil Dawson is making these games wins because of how great he is.  Or having Edwards, Winslow, and Jurervicious compared to the recievers of New England.  Now granted I had my doubts about Derek Anderson but he was compared to Tom Brady and Tony Romo?  Last year I could have fired the whole team but what a turn around.  They are the team being talked about in the NFL, sure New England is undefeated but did you see the Browns.  When I hear the announcers talk like that you know this team is on its way to the playoffs and I think the Super Bowl.  This whole team is making Cleveland proud, keep up the good work!  This is crazy how awesome the Browns are this year.  Winning 5 straight at home, I don't think this is a fluke, I think these guys are winners EVERYONE ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!! 

WHAT AN EXCITING GAME!  Phil Dawson got it done!  GREAT JOB!  Josh Cribbs better make it to the Pro Bowl!  I thought at the beginning of the season they were going to the playoffs this year and they threw me a little bit with the whole Frye trade but I admit that Derek Anderson has proven to me that he can do it with the help of his team.  Finally it is our time!  GO BROWNS KEEP IT UP!!!  It is like watching a whole new team! 

So we went to the home opener of the Lake Erie Monsters and let me tell you how fantastic it is to have hockey back in Cleveland.  Since we are season ticket holders we had a meet and greet with the whole team to do autographs and pictures and things.  I couldn't believe how great these guys were.  They were the nicest people.  They couldn't talk enough about how great it is to play in Cleveland and how the arena was so loud they thought it was a NHL game.  They just kept smiling, signing autographs.  I was very impressed. 

The game was great, very entertaining.  Our seats were right behind the bench on the glass.  So much fun.  I was also happy to see that about 15,000 people were there.  I am glad to see Cleveland is taking an interest in hockey.

I have always loved hockey and it is a great sport.  Another thing the players are the best, any team they are the most compassionate, respectful people.  They definitly have class and that is missing in a lot of sports across the board.  They sat and talked with you, never charged any money for autographs, took pictures with you.  Definitly a great time!  Everyone should check out a game!

 GO MONSTERS!!!!!!

First I just have to start off by saying GO TRIBE! 

I can't believe that LeBron James said what he did.  This does not show courage or anything else from him.  This shows the same thing I have been saying since he started playing basketball.  I hope you like having LeBron now Cavs because once he gets a better deal he is out of here.  How could he root for the Yankees?  Doesn't he realize Cleveland has made him what he is today?  Doesn't he realize that Cleveland is the one giving him so much money?  What an ass.  He is such a terrible Clevelander.  I have never liked him before and believe me there is no chance of me liking him EVER!  I think he is an overpaid errogant player who is in it for money and fame.  Sorry LeBron but you aren't that good.  He knows from experience how important it is to have your home team on your side cheering for you.  LeBron you are terrible. 

GO TRIBE!!!!!!

So how excited is everyone for OCTOBER 6, 2007????  HOME OPENER FOR HOCKEY!!!!  I just got half of season, season tickets for my birthday from my MOST WONDERFUL BOYFRIEND.  6 rows back from the glass, behind the benches, ON CENTER ICE!!!!  I am so happy hockey is back in Cleveland.  I can't wait for hockey to start!!!

I know Cleveland isn't a big hockey town but this is Colorado's farm team and they are a great team so this team might be a winner!!!! 

I am so happy, I can't wait!!!!!!  GO MONSTERS!!!!

So is Anderson going to be traded now?  Wow the Browns played a fantastic game on Sunday.  They actually let a team who hasn't won their past 11 games win.  Good job Browns.  Good Job Anderson for having such an accurate throw.  I have never seen so many balls thrown to the ground.  Could you make the receivers reach for it anymore?  Wow we have such a wonderful QB now.  I am so happy we wasted so much for him.  The bad thing is since we used out draft picks for this year on stupid trades and picks we are going to be the same way next year because we can't get anyone new.

Fire Romeo and Phil Savage.  The time has come.  There was no reason for that lost yesterday.  There was no reason why it should have been that close of a game.  I don't blame Phil Dawson for their loss, I blame Anderson and the whole offensive side.  The defense played ok but the offensive is back to what we saw with Charlie.   Last weeks win against Cinncinnati was a fluke, they had a bad game.  But still no 2 wins in a row.  How long are we going to have to wait for the front office and coaches to make some INTELLIGENT decisions?  So sad, very sad. 

OHHH BROWNS!!!!  WE SAW YOU CAN PLAY AGAINST CINNCI?  WHY NOT IN EVERY GAME??????

Now I have supported Charlie Frye and the Browns for many years now.   I have stuck by them through thick and thin.

After Sundays game all I have to say is get rid of them.  Starting at the top,  bye bye Phil Savage and Romeo.  They both need to be fired.  I am not one to jump to conclusions, but there was no improvement, they got worse.  So like in any other job, no improvement they are fired.  They have been given enough time and nothing has changed.

Charlie has already been traded which was a good move but a bad trade, since we don't have a QB now.  We traded a starting 3rd pick QB for 6th round pick next year?  Are you serious Phil Savage?  Who are you going to put into the mix now?  Anderson?  because he is better then Frye?  ANDERSON AND FRYE PROVED THEY BOTH SHOULD BE GONE.  Then everyone wants Quinn?  Why because he was able to beat 2 and 3rd string lines?  Sure put him out there against Pittsburgh and then what?  He gets his A$$ knocked on the ground. 

I am so sick and tired of this team.  The stupid decisions that are being made, the players and coaches attitudes.  I am sick of it.

I say KEEP Whimbley, Cribbs, Dave Zastidul(SP), Andre Davis, Lewis and the defensive coordinator and make him the head coach.  He will whip these people into shape.  Everyone else BYE BYE! 

I like all you other die hard Browns fans of course will continue to watch the games but I am not happy with the way they started this year off at all.

HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!  EVERYONE GET READY TO WATCH THE BROWNS BEAT PITTSBURGH!!!!!!!  I am so excited because football is starting.  So to all you Pittsburgh fans, I hope you bought tissues because you are going to be very sad with the outcome of the game on Sunday!

I think Charlie is going to have one of his best games, I think we are going to see really how good this team is this year.  I am standing by my Brownies!  I do think they will win, it will be a close game but they will win it.

WE ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!  HERE WE GO BROWNIES HERE WE GO!!!

All I have to say is talk about DE-FENSE!!!  I know it is only the first game of pre-season and they still have some work to do but WOW what a difference a year makes. 

I am so happy we have Jamal Lewis now, what an addition.  Cribbs is still great, Whimbley is going to be even better this year.  Barclay, I can't wait to see more of him.  How happy is everyone to see Bodden back this year. 

Charlie Frye, you still have my vote!  No matter what your feelings are, Frye has made some HUGE improvements, the last play of the 1 half was a little upsetting(Harrison should have made that catch) but no interceptions.  He was able to throw some pretty good passes which were caught!!  Anderson, not the man for the job.  There shouldn't even be a discussion about it now.  Dorsey did ok. 

I know we have to wait to see what Quinn is like but like I said before my vote goes to Charlie.  Anyone who is going to be such a baby about money should take a seat on the bench, come and play when your heart is in it.  Prove yourself before making a stink about money. 

I was so happy NOT to hear Edwards and Winslow running their mouths.  Maybe they are going to use some of that energy to hold on to the ball this year.

Our offensive line was blocking!  Our special teams were outstanding!  Our defense was fantastic!

Now I know it is still early but I am so excited for this season!  SUPER BOWL HERE WE COME!!!!!  Don't let us down Browns!!!!  This year is the year!!!  HERE WE GO BROWNIES... HERE WE GO.... ROOF ROOF!

OK so the Browns have started their early season practices.  I am glad to see that ALL of the QB stayed 40 minutes after practice to continue working on their game plan.  I am also glad to see Charlie Frye's wrist is 100% better.  I am also happy to see that they are all working as a TEAM to help eachother out. 

Now I know this is not a mandatory practice but I am very disappointed that Braylon Edwards was not there.  Edwards needs to become a team player and practice as much as he can because he made some HUGE drops last year.  I guess he did not give a reason why he wasn't there either.  I guess his big donation wasn't a sign for a change for him which is too bad. 

Winslow wasn't able to practice because of his knee but at least he was there watching and focusing on getting better.  So at least he came. 

Anyway I am getting excited to see what is going to happen with the Browns this year. 

I was thinking yesterday about what we are going to see out of Whimbley and Cribbs this year because if we are able to get the rest of the team going these guys are going to be even more awesome then they were last year!

Another one I am hoping they will use more this year is Joe Jurovicious.  When they did pass to him last year he made some good plays so hopefully they will continue to use him.

All I know is I can't wait!  August can't get here soon enough!  I hope all those Cleveland Browns fans out there  are excited as I am to see what is going to happen.  These boys have to prove themselves this year because they haven't been able to do it the past couple years! 

We have a tough schedule this year but when they beat Pittsburgh I think they will have enough confidence to keep the wins coming!!!  GO BROWNIES!!!

Ok the Browns schedule is out and the home opener is PITTSBURGH!!!  How awesome is that!  We are going to start off the season by kicking Steeler A$$!!!!!  I can't wait for football! 

OK I have been reading some blogs about the Browns and I would just like to know what people want.  No one is happy.  I am sorry but I think getting rid of Droughns was the right thing to do.  He showed the past 2 years he didn't want to be here.  He got his 1000 yards and then I think his feet broke or something because he sure didn't do anything last year.  Northcutt being gone is fine too.  He showed last year that he can't hang on to the ball.   I think they should have went one step futher and got rid of Edwards too.  His attitude stinks and again put some glue on his hands because that is the only way he will be able to hang on.

I think the Browns are doing the right things this offseason.  I think we are going to see a whole new team this year.  Physically and mentally.  I think all these new players are really going to help this team out alot.  There is no need for a new quarterback we have Frye and Anderson who have not been able to show what they can do because of the absence of the OLine so give them a chance.  As for Romeo give him a chance.  I was one to jump down his throat last year but he can only go so far with what he has to work for. 

I hope this year is the year.  Come on Cleveland it isn't like we are used to winning and everyone is so upset over the changes they are making.  Obviously if the team we have now isn't working they are going to get rid of some players.  I have not had one complaint about any of the decisions they are making.  Good Job Browns front office I actually have some faith this year.  Lets just hope we can keep everyone healthy.

So I can just say that I am very happy with the moves the Browns are making and Cleveland before we all get upset why not see what we have this year?  I can't wait to see.  GO BROWNIES!!!!
