Stiller Sunday


With the regular season coming to it's final week and the Steelers having locked up the #2 seed, all that's left is the remaining humiliation of the Browns. It was supposed to be the Browns year. Alas it was not. But then who could have foreseen something like Derek Andersen returning to his career standard mediocre form and stinking out the joint? Everyone? Everyone outside of Cleveland? Oh well, at least they didn't commit eight million dollars a year to him. They did? Well, that's why they are the Browns.

What lies on tap for this week? The possibility of Romeo Crennel getting fired after the first quarter, fourth stringer Bruce Gradkowski's triumphant return to Pittsburgh, Dennis Dixon shredding the Browns backups in the 4th quarter, and some meaningful playing time for Orpheus Roye. Actually 'Rome0-7 against the Steelers' won't be fired, because according to ESPN, the Browns just might ask him to take a humiliating demotion to D-Coordinator or towel concierge while the Browns try to pile up money high enough to get Bill Cowher to pay attention to them.

Sorry Browns fans, the Butch Davis/Kelly Holcomb era was your high water mark. It was the golden years. Reminisce. There is nothing important about this week for us, just get out with no injuries and some sort of humiliating touchdown pass from Dixon to Sweed or a Patrick Bailey/Bruce Davis sack. Also, don't fool yourself into thinking the offensive line is competent based on today's almost assured good performance. They aren't, they never will be, and if we go nowhere this postseason I am 99% certain they will be the cause.
