So far no suprises in Lions camp. Losing to the Rams last week means we may only win 3-4 games. They should have beat the Rams!

Randy is going to end up soon paying more to coaches office people who were canned for incompetence than good teams like the Colts, Steelers, Patriots have on their payrolls actually working.

Is that why the Browns administrative office is equipped with a revolving door and ejection seats?

Randy spends more time across the pond with Aston Villa than he does with the Browns. Him and his dad Al never seemed to understand the NFL and its inner workings and they had a habit of hiring people with a reputation and giving them 100% free reign.
I was listening to the Browns-Bears debacle, and (Browns announcer)Jim Donavan, mentioned that Randy Lerner, was in attendance- like that came as a supirse to him. Of course the firings happened afterward(Mangini's assistant was also canned). Hopefully, he's had his eyes opened.
Dad Al Lerner was friends with Pats owner Kraft, and the Eagles owner, who's name escapes me. Unfortunatley, their success did not rub off, on him.

Well, well, well. Look who's sitting on top (for now) of the AFC North - my Cincinnati Bengals! They're 6-2 after beating the Ravens today, and they are starting to turn the heads of a few people. It's such a far cry from years past!! I'm sure loving the way that the defense is playing; already they've got more sacks - in 8 games - than they had all of last season. Man! It feels so good to be proud to be a Bengals fan!
The Cowboys are up 7-0 on the Eagles, but they're not playing on all cylinders right now. They'd better get it in gear!
The Colts snuck by the Texans by the skin of their teeth - again. They are going to get bit by somebody soon if they don't start playing better, and the same thing goes for the Saints. They're both 8-0, but not by much. I love the fact that the Chargers beat the Giants in the "Draft Pick Bowl" game . . . aw, lets face it, I just love it that the Giants got beat!!

Duane, you have every reason to gloat. They are playing very well and are surprising everyone. Good thing my Steelers only play them one more time and it's at home.
Browns fans rejoice! Your team didn't lose! Oh yeah. It was a bye week. 
Do you think the Pats or the Colts will win next week? IOW, will the Colts remain undefeated? The Colts defense has allowed the fewest points per game but the Pats are almost as equally as stingy at the #3 spot.
The Saints had an ugly win but Drew Brees is still very impressive. 39 TD's for the Saints. The next closest team has only 29 (Favre's Vikings). Good thing they are so high scoring though, their defense is tied for 17th in points allowed.
It has definitely been an interesting year in football!

First half of last night's game was not pretty. The Steelers though shut the Steel curtain on Orton in the second half. Denver does look like a different team though and I am sure they are not missing crybaby Cutler.
How about Mendenhall! The man is turning out to be taking the reins from Parker.

What do you mean? The Browns were getting 16 points against the Bye. I took the Bye and won.

We needed that. Wow if Mendenhall is a bust that '08 draft class will go down as one of our worst since the '80s.

I keep teasing the people I work with telling them when Randy goes over to watch Aston Villa he needs to stop at Dublin for a dinner date with Dan Rooney and ask him how to run a football team.
Here are some of my thoughts on the Browns of late:
While Randy has said and succeeded at not being a meddlesome owner and keeping his hands off (unlike Al Davis, Dan Snyder, etc) his distant attitude has been as detrimental to the team as if he had meddled. Him and his dad know/knew nothing of running a NFL team and this was evident in all of the big name hirings- Policy/Clark, Butch Davis, Savage/Crennel and how he arrived at Mangini is a mystery though I'll eat my humble pie and say I was wrong about that one.
Randy isn't a bad guy he does show some patience. He stuck with Davis long enough for us to realize he wasn't the answer and the same thing with Savage and Crennel. There is a time though when an owner needs to put his foot down- Bud Adams telling Fischer to play Young was one of those times. The Titans season is lost so when exactly are you going to find out if Young is your QB? Collins wasn't the answer to anything there. I applauded Bud for taking that step, it was the right one.
Randy should have intervened in the 2004 draft - everyone and I mean everyone knew there were 3 potential franchise QB's in that draft. Winslow was an effort to make Davis' job more secure and had nothing to do with the long term health of that franchise. Randy wasn't going to can him on a whim so take whichever of the 3 (Ben who we all know can run around like a chicken with his head cut off when his line is playing lousy and make big plays) drops to you. The next time he should have intervened was after DA's breakout year. They should have did with him what San Diego did with Brees and just parted ways. Quinn was supposed to be the answer, well they should have built the team around him then and been done with it. Quinn though has himself to blame also had he made it into camp on time in '07 on time he would have easily beat out DA and Charlie Frye. Isn't it funny though that a cast off Browns offensive coach is in Pittsburgh with 2 Super Bowl Rings?
The one thing I dislike about the current state of the NFL is the "what have you done for me lately?" attitude. It takes time to develop players and coaches and neither get it. I remember in the late '90s when Pittsburgh was mediocre and Bill Cowher and Tom Donahoe were clashing. When Dan intervened one of the reasons he gave for keeping Cowher over Tom was Cowher always took the time to play and develop the rookies and it was clear that the talent wasn't being brought into the team like it needed to. It isn't always about the W's and L's and we have the Lombari's to prove it.
Mapachito- I'm not a Browns fan but I grew up and live outside of the Akron area in Ohio about 40 minutes south of Cleveland. I remember when Pittsburgh Cleveland twice a year was bigger than the Super Bowl around here. Now it's sort of like when Ohio State plays Northwest-East-Wisconcin-Green Bay-Technical College except some people want to get down to the horseshoe to see it just because those are hard tickets to get up here. I've been black and gold my entire football watching part of my life.

Notice how they are 4-0 with a certain #43 in the line-up?! Too bad you didn't see the second half. Hines Wards TD was done with ballet finesse with him jumping over one tackle to get into the end zone. They finally looked like the Super Bowl Steelers in the second half.
Yes I have. I've also noticed that unlike 2007 we can play without Aaron Smith and Ryan Clark in the line-up. Good job by the replacements.

No, my COLTS haven't been playing their best but a WIN is a WIN! Some how they manage to get a victory. I'd say that that is favor(Coach Caldwell is a Christian like Dungy). I wish that we could recruit another defensive player to replace Bob Sanders because to me, it looks like he is getting paid top dollar to warm the bench. Get rid of the guy for Colt's sake!!! And we need receivers who can actually catch the ball. Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark can't do everything! They're being double-teamed. They need help and these new guys(Collie and Garcon) can't get open quick enough without Peyton getting hurried or sacked or both! Really miss those days of old with Marvin Harrison 
Anywho--
GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am hoping the Colts will pound Brady into the turf this weekend. My wife's favorite team is the Colts and they are my No. 2 since I've been a Steelers fan since 1973. The Patriots are #2 on my most disliked teams list just behind the Raiders.

Alll riiiiiight, welcome to Colt Country, yeehaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
okay now that that is out of my system  . I live here in Colt country so they are my number 1 team. I was so exuberantly happy when Brady and the bunch lost the superbowl to Eli Manning and the Giants that I almost cried out loud, I was so happy. Especially since that year they were investigated for stealing plays from opposing teams, that still p******me off  . To say that I loathe Brady and the bunch is an understatement. They are whiny, cheating, prima donnas whose schedule is always, imo, much too soft with the Bills, Jets, Texans, Titans? Whatever! We had better prepare well and be ready defensively (Freeney, Mathis), and offensively and our front line has got to do a better job of protecting Peyton. He has to have time to throw and those receivers have got to learn how to get open quicker. It shall be an interesting night game. I am praying a littler prayer for my team to be victorious and continue our winning streak.
Take care and God bless
seems kinda funny that after all the smash talk, I end it with saying God Bless huh? Anywho,
GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brady is as big a crybaby as Kevin McHale was in his heyday. He'd break a guy's arm or bloody his nose, the refs would call a foul, and he'd say, "Whatta ya mean by that?" Then, if the guy guarding him would breath wrong, McHale would holler, "He fouled me, ref! Call it!" It's getting so that Brady is the same way. And Belicheck is his facilitator.
