Well, it seems as if they are hedging their bets. This from the Associated Press:

The Browns have signed third-string quarterback Austin Davis to a two-year contract extension through 2017.

The Browns signed Davis, who went 3-5 as a starter last season with St. Louis, to a one-year deal on Sept. 7, two days after he was waived by the Rams. He hasn’t played with Cleveland and is currently behind both McCown and Manziel on the depth chart, but the Browns apparently view him someone worth locking up.

I smell a trade - Manziel to Dallas? But in even dumber fashion they would trade him to Pittsburgh.

And on another note of typical & classic Murphy's Law in Cleveland. The Cavs guard Ian Shumpert out 3 months after rupturing a tendon in his wrist requiring surgery. That didn't take long. You just can't make up all the bad JUJU that is bestowed on this town. Must be built on an old Indian burial ground. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/13...-wrist-surgery

How about Farmer to.....Anyone, for a half dozen Footballs (fully inflated of course) and some Icy Hot.

September is on pace to be one of the strongest months in the last decade, according to the TrueCar and Edmunds forecasts.

Edmunds said the month’s seasonally adjusted, annualized selling rate could match the 17.8 million rate recorded in August. That would be the highest September SAAR since 2000.

TrueCar said it expects a SAAR of 17.7 million. The rate was 16.5 million in September 2014.

You might get one waterboy for Farmer and Cleveland would have to throw in a second round draft pick

The only Super Bowl trophy the Clowns will get is if & when the Pats or the Steelers let them borrow one. I think Paul Brown is putting the maloik on them and well he should.

Cleveland Clowns? :) HAHAHA

Tom Brady meets with fan who returned his 400th TD football

http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/p...th_td_football


A lot of fans in sports these days try to make money off of opportunities like this. It is refreshing to see that this guy gave the ball back right on the spot with no questions asked. Sounds like he had a nice moment with TB12. :)

Attachment 1458

Whoah... you're kidding, right? Sounds like they are little lost? Remember when teams had QB's for a long time? Montanga, Staubach, White, :)

How about this for a stat (copied directly from a wikipedia search) 8 Head Coaches in the same period of time (1999 - present)

1 Chris Palmer* 1999–2000
2 Butch Davis* 2001–2004
3 Terry Robiskie 2004
4 Romeo Crennel 2005–2008
5 Eric Mangini 2009–2010
6 Pat Shurmur* 2011–2012
7 Rob Chudzinski* 2013
8 Mike Pettine* 2014–

By the way those asterisks (*) denote the fact that their Head Coaching Career began and ended with the Browns. Put another way, at least 5 of the 8 coaches above had never had a prior gig as Head Coach before being given the keys to the shop in Cleveland.

And the fun doesn't stop there. Just for Sh!t's-n-giggles I searched "number of Cleveland Browns General Managers since 1999 and this is the list that came up:

1 Dwight Clark 1999 - 2001
2 Butch Davis 2002 - 2004
3 Phil Savage 2005 - 2008
4 George Kokinis 2009 - 2009
5 Tom Heckert 2010 - 2012
6 Michael Lombardi 2013 - 2013
7 Ray Farmer 2014 -



Then add in 3 different owners...Modell, Al Lerner, and Randy Lerner....and yes you can count Al and Randy Lerner as two different owners because they had completely different outlooks on their involvement with the team.

Any way you slice it, 23 different starting quarterbacks, 8 different head coaches, 7 different General Managers and 3 different owners in the span of 15 years and that's anyone's recipe for disaster.

Thanks guys for feeling our pain.
This idea I have is pretty radical but I feel they should retire the Browns name and send it to Cincinnati where the real Paul Brown team resides with our apologies for besmirching the Paul Brown legacy. Kind of like a bankruptcy deal and clear the slate.

Yeah SN, not trying to rub it in but rather just saying "Wow". But of course you know these stats because you live with them. If any fans, anywhere deserves a real champion ( and by "real" I'm not talking about soccer or arena football or some other nonsense) with one of their major sports franchises, it's Cleveland fans.
