The focus of this Blog is my opinion and observations about the Cleveland Browns and University of Florida Gators performance, the NFL, SEC and sports in general. Sports history and current sports operations including political and social impact on society. Reader's of my book "They Call It A Game" tell me, without exception that it changed their thinking about the NFL and is as relevent today as ever. Saying they enjoyed reading it is a great bonus.

After Giving It Some Thought

JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZU...WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING WINSLOW! The Browns have been counting on you to become a team leader. I don't understand. I hope you recover fully and can give the team 100% but I have some doubts after this motorcycle fiasco. $9.4 million, re-injure your knee, DAMN!! The team is counting on you, what are you thinking.

The only incident I can remmember that is even marginally close to this was when John Wooten, one of the most dedicated, intelligent, courageous players the Browns ever had, turned his ankle playing some half court basketball and Paul Brown told John it would cost him a game salary if he couldn't play that week. As I recall John played but not because of Paul's threat. He played because he wouldn't let his team, his brothers down. Why is it so different today? I recall Monte Clarke having his scrotum sack painfully drained to play and many others who took novacain,....WHAT IN HELL ARE THEY THINKING TODAY?
