I remember crying my eyes out as a little kid when John Elway executed the drive.  From that point on, I’ve been a Browns die hard.  If you’re from Cleveland, you should be too.  Lebron is awesome, and the Indians have a strong future, but this is Brownstown. 

With a depressing ecomony, big businesses leaving the city, lack of jobs, one of the highest poverty rates in the country, lack of outstanding leadership, etc…the Cleveland Browns are what Clevelanders look forward to year in and year out.  We are the most loyal fans in sports, and we deserve better than this.  We always sell out the stadium, buy jerseys, and bleed brown and orange.  Maybe I’m taking it harder this year since its my first year with season tickets, I don’t know, but the bottom line is these are desperate times.

Savage put so much talent on the field, yet they look like inept amateurs…

Fire Romeo. 

Bottom line.  The team will never win with Romeo as the head coach.  Won’t happen.  Everyone knows it, including Phil Savage and the owners.  Cut the losses today.  Why not?

Way too many mental mistakes, penalties (special teams especially), misuse of players (where is Harrison?  why is Steptoe blocking linebackers on run plays and Heiden is on the sidelines?), awful coaching…I could write for hours.

There has to be someone out there who can come in this week, and by Sunday have this team:
blitzing all the time (and I mean all the time!  Good defenses blitz a lot!)
playing tough and rough
getting back to solid special teams play!
running the ball effectively by changing the pace with Harrison!
this list could also go on and on and on (and no, I am no football coach or expert)

Everybody does a power ranking…the Browns don’t deserve one right now.  Instead, here’s my powerless ranking for the team.  ie guys that need to show up!!!
5. Kam Wimbley (seriously, no sacks yet???)
4. Donte’ Stallworth (Cribbs played yesterday with 59 injuries…get on the field)
3. Braylon Edwards (you’re not a fluke…show it!)
2. Derek Anderson (please show us you’re not a fluke)
1. Romeo Crennel (time’s up)

I’m just going to stop here before I throw the keyboard through the screen. 

Frustrated.

The Airshow rocked!

I had the chance to check out the airshow this weekend with my dad.  It was incredible. 

The Blue Angels were definitely the highlight!  I was offered the opportunity to ride on the Blue Angel Fat Albert…I’m a bit timid of heights, so my dad did the hard job of reporting in my place.

He said it was the most incredible ride of his life!  This bad boy flies at 360 miles an hour and features eight rockets for takeoff within 1,500 feet, climbing at a 45 degree angle.  My dad emphasized that this is nothing like a commercial flight you’ve been on! 

These guys are truly heroes.  Be sure to check them out at http://www.blueangels.navy.mil/ , and be sure to check out the air show next year!

5 thoughts for the week:

5. Never go swimming in Allan Fee’s community pool (too many kids, too much…well you know).

4. Why can’t the Dolans resign CC?  Seriously?  If you can’t afford the best pitcher we’ll have for the next 20 years, sell the team to someone who can.
