Lately I have been wondering if I am hearing about the Cleveland Browns organization or watching an episode of my favorite soap opera.

First Kellen Winslow gets upset because the general manager doesn’t call him while he is out with a staph infection in which the organization would not release that he had to begin with.  He goes to the media and then is suspended for a week.

Secondly, Derrick Anderson has a great year in 2007 and in 2008 he chokes.  So, he is finally pulled for Brady Quinn who gets his chance as an NFL quarterback only to be injured after two games. 

The Browns are ahead of the Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos both by double digits in the 3rd quarter both weeks and blow leads and end up losing both games.  It was however Brady Quinn’s first start and he did look good against Denver. If only the defense could have held Denver for the Browns to win the game.

Braylon Edwards has a record number of dropped passes during the football games.

After the Buffalo game, the general manager of the Browns Phil Savage sends an e-mail to a fan who had sent him an e-mail previously complaining about the coaching staff and other frustrations of the season.  Savage sends an e-mail back to the fan saying  Go root for Buffalo-f#@* you.  The Browns were losing to the Buffalo Bills at the time on Monday Night but ended up winning the game.

Brady suffered a season ending injury when he hit his index finger against one of the Bills’ helmets.  He ended up playing against Houston but was taken out after throwing two interceptions probably due to the hurt index finger.  He is going to have surgery this Wednesday on the finger.

Browns Owner Randy Lerner spoke to the media to extinguish any rumors and said he was not selling the team, he will do anything it take to bring a winning team in this city and that money is no object.  He also said that the fate of Crennel and Savage will be decided after the season’s end.

So, that meant Derrick Anderson was back in as quarterback.  He had another shot.  Not so fast my friend as Corso would say… He suffered a season ending injury as well against the Indianapolis Colts in which the Browns also blew a lead and Anderson’s pass was taken back for a touchdown as he was trying to throw and the ball went backward.  So, that means now the quarterback is Ken Dorsey, a former Miami Hurricane.  The Browns also picked up Bruce Gradowski who was quarterback at the University of Toledo and then went on to play for Tampa Bay and St. Louis.

To add to the drama of the Browns after Anderson got injured not all but some of the Browns fans were cheering as Anderson was carted off the field.  I don’t know if it was the fact that Anderson was playing in place of Brady Quinn who was a fan favorite, or if they were just too drunk (due to the horrible season).  Also…fans have started chanting Bill Cowher’s name in order to try and get the Browns to hire him after this season to replace Romeo Crennel.  Crennel will most likely be gone after this year and so will Phil Savage. 

All I have to say is that I can’t wait for this misery of a season to be over.  I just hope that Santa brings Cleveland a real football team.  I have been a Browns fan my entire life and this is been the worst I have ever seen it.  We might not have gone to the Super Bowl in the 80’s but at least the Browns were competitive.
