Well Said
This commentary on Bernies Insiders does a good job of summing things up right now. Lots of questionable things going down this season. It's not often where I agree with every damn thing someone else wrote, but this may just be one of those times.
Oh yeah, I think the Browns wil give the Chiefs a good game Sunday. And I'd LOVE to see a big win, just to shake things up and hear Dr. Z talk about how all those Browns fans can stop writing him telling him how much he sucks... like that will happen. I think Priest will have a big day, but if our defensive line can engage in a fierce battle for control of the line of scrimmage, well then we got a shot. Of course, it will be very interesting to see how our offense plays -- I love Andre Davis, and Jackson has been good, so there won't be a drop-off. We might even be pleasantly surprised. But if Morgan drops a couple balls, I the first question in Butch's postgame press conference to be about it....
I've been sparring with some dudes on a KC mesage board this week and let me tell you what you already know -- they don't think we stand a chance. Football minutae aside, the recurring theme seems to be "ARROWHEAD." It's as if the Browns are going to play on the cursed land of fallen indigenous tribe leaders, where quarterbacks making their first start are doomed to interceptions, sacks and disembowelment. As if the roar of the crowd from Overland Park suburbanites is so shrill, so foul, and so deafening that the trip to Missouri is not even worth the trouble. As if network TV may not even carry the game since they stopped broadcasting the slaughters in the Collesseum centuries ago. And as if the losing of our starting HB, benching of our leading WR, and hobbling of our starting QB will have any adverse effect on the play of our Browns. These people are idiots!!! Don't they know that our team makes no sense? That we win only when we should not, and almost always on the road? That we don't care that 65K two-state barbecue-loving Show Me Staters will be hooting and hollering in their mock suede red-and-yellow bird feather indian caps? That Holcomb only plays good after he has at least one broken bones? That, damn it, we are at least a 5-11 team, the kind of 5-11 team who might lose to the lowly, the victory-deprived, and the talent-starved franchises but my god we will win the unwinnable and confound the pundits and turn the talking heads into shaking heads after we show up on Sunday and return as the best losing team in pro football. Amen.
