I just don't think any of this is really due to random chance. When the Browns and Indians do something well, they respond by behaving as if they are entitled...
From ESPN's piece on the "miracle finish" Romeo needs to save his job: "Among the names topping a possible candidate list: Bill Cowher, Marty Scottenheimer,...
I seriously think that it took about half a season of baseball for the team to recover and started getting serious about their play. It just pains me to see...
You are not alone buddy. I am too a Browns fan just recently moved to PA and gosh I miss those Browns. The beautiful orange and brown. Now I see black and...
Predictions: In the new Bill James Handbook, here are some 2009 projections for Indians pitchers: • Starters: Carmona, 8-8, 4.17 ERA, 141 innings, 25 starts,...
I don't know who he thinks he is, but these numbers for the starting pitchers are WAYYYYYYYY off. It's not even close! First of all, he only accounted for...
Personally I think BPro's are the best because they show the full range of projected outcomes by percentile. Shows essentially how Lee's season was possible...
... Well, let's be serious for a moment: did anyone but Jaxon Lee predict that Cliff Lee would have a winning percentage within 200 points of where it ended...
//Unlike past browns 5-11ish teams, this year's edition is a lot closer to the 9-7 I and others like Grossi predicted. Their losses have been usually close -...
... Wait, are you telling me you don't think Norv Turner is a good head coach?!?! Next you're going to tell me that penguins are poor fliers, or that smoking...
Words of wisdom: Playing football on the ice, even if it's only touch, is a bad idea. I speak from experience. :-) Actually, I was talking about a Browns...
... I may agree with you about the Indians, but I'm pretty sure that I don't about the Browns. If you're going to argue that five of their losses have been...
Slaton is NOT a franchise player. He's a function of the system (Kubiak runs the Shanahan system meaning any RB looks great). Here's a longer list of players...

... OK, here's the quiz: You could trade any back on the Browns' current roster for Steve Slaton, straight up. So you do it? You know my answer. ... And the...
Slaton is dime a dozen. As are the Browns backs. RB's are the easiest position to fill by far in the NFL since it's never about the RB's it's about the OL....

... Actually, the "original claim being refuted" is that the Browns are "[c]oser to contending then not." Which, besides being empirically, if trivially, wrong...
Dawson has the highest accuracy rate of any active kicker with at least 1 full season of FG attempts or something like that. Slaton has 2 good games in a...
One of the cool things about sports is that, unlike in so many other circumstances wherein people "agree to disagree," we'll be able to see which of us was...
David, Todd, I think you are arguing different things about "contending." David, you are comparing the talent on the Browns to Superbowl contenders. I think...

Point taken, though the craptitude of the West could help SD too. Regardless of how tough the rest of their schedule may be, they still get to play Oakland and...
That has to be purely emotion talking. This isn't even CLOSE to the worst ever. I know you're not too young to remember that 1999 team, so the only other...
Senility is definitely a possibility, but, I'm not going to fall back on that excuse. 1999 was the *expansion year*, for crying out loud. Perhaps on an...
