The Texans finally waived David Carr, the first pick in the ’02 draft. There’s been more than enough speculation on the Browns quarterback situation heading into the upcoming draft, and whether or [...]

You’ve Got to be Kidding

Despite calling ourselves “CursedCleveland,” purchasing numerous business cards and magnets with the “CursedCleveland,” insignia, and starting publication of “CursedCleveland.com The Publication”, we really don’t feel the Browns are cursed, per se. But after hearing this report first on this morning’s Rizzo on the Radio, we’re starting to seriously reconsider our whole take on the fortunes [...]

Rumor Mill

One way to guarantee the Browns won’t botch their early first-round draft pick: Trade down.

If Oakland goes with LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell and Detroit follows with Wisconsin tackle Joe Thomas, then Cleveland would be the target. [...]

Northcutt Heads South

The Browns were dealt a major free agent blow over the past few days with the loss of Dennis Northcutt, one of the last remaining vestiges of the forgettable Chris Palmer era. Clamoring for some semblance of an identity since the team’s return in 1999, the Browns fan base will assuredly lament the loss of [...]

His Jersey Number Told Us How Many Games He Would Play

CLEVELAND – How do you go from becoming one of the best centers in the NFL to sitting in a wheelchair contemplating whether you’ll ever play another down of football in your career? I’d suggest you go ask Mr. Bentley, who would probably admit that he overlooked the small print in the contract alluding to [...]

Amongst these players is wide receiver Steve Sanders, and judging by the way he’s performed in the practice squad over the past year, we might [...]

Browns For Sale?

Granted it’s a “sweeps month;” meaning the local television news outlets role out their sensationalistic reports in an effort to beef up their ratings – and granted, it’s “Action News,” but you’ll want to check out their investigative report tonight at 11:00. They are rumored to make the case that Randy Lerner has quietly put [...]

Browns Rumor Mill

This from the Houston Chronicle NFL blog: “Someone well-connected with the Browns has convinced me that they want Adrian Peterson desperately, which depresses me. I was hoping the Oklahoma running back might slip through the cracks and fall to the eighth spot so the Texans could get him, but now I don’t think so. Here’s [...]
