KJ BENCHED; BUTCH GETTING HIGH WITH GREEN?

WOW!!! Lots of crazy stuff going on today. In order, let's go...

William Green suspended one game. My feeling -- that's it? I think more should happen, or at least Green should take some accountability and explain why he was hammered only a few hours after practice. I guess this is standard operating procedure for Butch Davis though. The club's inevitable position will be that this is punishment is "consistent" with Gerard Warren's 2001 arrest. Not so -- Green was actually DRIVING THE CAR. In fact, if you listen to the scuttlebutt around town he was bouncing off curbs and speeding. And he not only had weed on his person, he was drunk. And this wasn't on a day off or at some fancy night club with his posse -- he was alone, on a weekday afternoon, right after practice. C'mon, this is a problem and a little one-week slap on the wrist is a huge disservice to Green and to the public in general, who do not need to witness another sweeping-under-the-rug of a rather serious screw-up.

Speaking of consistency.... Browns leading receiver for the past 4 years, BENCHED!!! That's right, Kevin Johnson will be riding the pine in favor of Andre Davis. WTF??? KJ is not a world-beater, and I'm not opposed to mixing up the roster but.... what kind of message does it send when you bench KJ and leave in Quincy Morgan, who has flat-out been horrible and dropped half the balls thrown to him? I like the idea of starting the excellent Andre Davis, but bench the right freaking guy!!! This whole thing merely suggests that rumors about "Butch's guys" are true. Apparently you can suck and smoke week and still start for the Browns. And you can give up an NFL record amount of rushing yardage and still earn the coach's praise. What a freaking joke.

Lee Suggs will likely be activated. Fair enough, let's see if he can contribute.

Holcomb will start @KC. This is the right decision, obviously.

Tune into sports radio on thw way home tonight, cause it should be entertaining.... KJ benched, not too dissimilar to William Green getting the week off. Unfrickinbelievable.
