Green

Man, the vibe surrounding William Green is sounding extremely negative. First, Green is not around for the first day of practice after his 4-game suspension is over. In fact, no one in the entire Browns organization has even heard from him. Then, Policy drops this to the press: If he continually presents himself in a fashion that we can't rely on him when we need him most - such as for the Pittsburgh game - then we will have to move on." Ouch! And Butch Davis added, "When those things are taken care of and resolved, we'll decide exactly what William's future is." Clearly, One Sock William is at the end of the line and he's either going to stumble over or back away and get himself sorted out.

The fact that his own teammates have been calling him for the past 8-9 days and gotten no response is particularly troubling. Obviously Green does not feel close enough to any other players to even discuss his situation with them. And that is precisely what he needs most right now. I'm having visions of Green spending the last week at a dumpy hotel outside Atlantic City with a budy from high-school. I mean, I really, really hope the guy is somewhere better -- say, an in-patient facility for substance abuse -- but nothing seems to suggest that is happening. Hanging around Gerard Warren even seems like an okay idea at this point.
