How Mud...I disagree with a ton of your opinions.   


First of all I am a Cleveland fan....if Cincinnati wins a Super Bowl it would SUCK.  I would not be happy because an OH team won.  Cincinnati is the #3 team on the HATE list.

Also...no titles in Cleveland....please leave Cincinnati out.  They only have 2 sport teams and the Reds won a title in 1990...plus Reds were dominate in the 90's.

As far as free agency...the Browns have actually been very busy the past few years:

2 yrs ago they signed the biggest free agent in STUD LeCharles Bentley (but the Cleveland curse ruined him his 1st play of the 1st practice).  Then also have signed OT Steinbach who has an ALL PRO alternate.  They signed Jamal Lewis.

Since Savage has taken over as GM, he has done a amazing job.  He has rebuilt the O-line.  I believe his focus now turns to the D-Line and if a FA is available and can be an impact...he will go after.

Cleveland has had 121 consecutive  MAJOR sports seasons without a Championship.  That is taking out strike years and when Art Model decided to take the Browns and move to Baltimore to win a Super Bowl there....just to continue this long-time agony.

Cav's 37 straight
Indian's 42 straight
Brown's 40 straight
Baron's 2 straight

TOTAL 121

121 straight....wait till next years.  I have NEVER celebrated a Cleveland Championship....


Thank GOD for FANTASY FOOTBALL!!!!

hey Tony I am from Buffalo I thought our record was bad....maybe it is something in the Lake Erie water?

All good memories run hard... 

I believe we lost a game 7 to the Flyers for the cup in the 70's.The ice started to sublimate and created a fog during the game...

I also remember losing a game 7 to the Bruins to go to the cup when the puck rebounded off one of our defenseman's head and into the net...

maybe its an ancient Indian curse or something.

I am glad I moved to Orlando 20 years ago and adopted the Bucs, 2002 was a great year!

Shawn Alexander ---- How far has this Guy really fallen?


I own Alexander in Badlands #1 and am really starting to wonder
if this Guy has just become a Bum?

Obviously Seattle may think so, Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett have been
signed within 3 weeks of each other, what's going on?

Has Alexander gotten Fat or what?

Yeah, the 'Hawks now have four RBs under contract:  Alexander, Jones, Duckett, and Maurice Morris.  By my math, that's too many, and too much cap room invested in one position:

-- Jones (26) was signed with a four-year deal repotedly worth nearly $12 million, with a good chunk of it in the first year.  That's significant money for a RB, and a sign they expect him to at least compete closely for the starting role.

-- Duckett (just turned 27) signed for a 5-year $17 million deal, but heavily back-loaded.  More likely, ignoring incentives, it's a 3-year $7.5 million deal, and it only counts for $1 million against the cap in it's first year.  Duckett has to show his worth in the first year and is doing his audition at a cap-friendly price.

-- Morris (28) is still under contract, for somewhere around $1 - $2 million -- definitely worth keeping around at that price, even if only as a backup.

-- But Alexander (who turns 31 in August) is due a $4.475 million salary and, with pro-rated bonuses, will count $6.775 against the cap this year if he's on the roster.  He's coming off two injury-filled seasons and has seen his stats steadily decrease, so that $6.8 mil is a huge cap hit for a guy on the decline who's been having problems staying on the field.

The team will save $4.0 million against the cap over the next two years if they release Alexander after June 1st -- My guess is they will...

I also wouldn't be surprised to even see them draft a RB in the early rounds to get a young guy for the future, too.

no offense mud but im pretty sure this was obvious within 4-6weeks into the season after his FANTASTIC season or it was to me
