Gordon won’t attend rookie symposium

June 13, 2013 – 10:15 am

Because he missed it last year due to being a supplemental draft selection, I thought Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon would have to attend this year’s NFL Rookie Symposium. Turns out I was incorrect. That’s happened once before, maybe twice. It wouldn’t be a terrible idea though, right? Gordon, who will miss the first two [...]

On Columbus and the Browns

May 22, 2013 – 4:48 pm

At first, anyway, I didn’t think much of the press release in my email this morning about the Browns reaching a deal with a new Columbus sports radio station. I work on Sundays in the fall, usually, and when I don’t and I’m in Columbus I usually go to a bar and watch 18 football [...]

May 16, 2013 – 8:16 pm

BEREA, Ohio – Thursday was the third day of Browns OTA practices and the first open to the media. It was a beautiful, sunny day that featured a practice with a noticeably faster tempo than has been seen in Berea recently, Brandon Weeden operating the first-team offense and head coach Rob Chudzinski answering a question [...]

A stroll down (rookie minicamp) Memory Lane

May 10, 2013 – 9:01 pm

BEREA, Ohio – Maybe I’ve just reached the age where I appreciate having a cold one and talking about the good old days, but that’s for a different discussion and a different day. Walking into Browns rookie minicamp on Friday afternoon got me in that mood. Not for the cold one, per se, but for [...]

Cost probably too high for Browns to chase QB

April 26, 2013 – 1:44 am

Traders up. The real fun in the NFL Draft starts Friday evening. The Browns picked early and shut it down early on Thursday; with no second-round pick as ammo, they knew there was no way they’d buy back into the first round, even if they wanted to. But what about the second round — and [...]

Trent Richardson on NFL’s new crown-of-helmet rule

April 17, 2013 – 5:46 pm

His name isn’t on it officially, but Browns running back Trent Richardson joked last month that the NFL’s new rule barring ballcarriers from hitting opponents with the crown of their helmets might be his fault. Remember in last year’s opener when he knocked Eagles safety and Ohio State alum Kurt Coleman into next week? In [...]

For the Browns, another reconstruction begins

April 16, 2013 – 11:57 pm

BEREA, Ohio – The Cleveland Browns are having three days of minicamp this week. The most important three days of the Browns newest new regime’s several months on the job are next week, in the NFL Draft. See how this makes things interesting?

Joe Haden talks upgrades and what’s new

April 5, 2013 – 10:20 pm

MENTOR, Ohio – I ran into Browns cornerback Joe Haden on Friday evening at Mentor High School. Haden was watching his younger brother, Jordan, during Toledo’s spring practice fundraiser. Joe knows football. He loves football. “It’s a little cold, but I had to come watch,” he said. “I wasn’t going to miss this.” Here’s what [...]
