This is hilarious with all the sudden Mangini love. The guy beat the Steelers once and he's the hero of Cleveland. All this talk about "progress" is hilarious. I recall RAC making huge progress with the 2007 Browns...

Sorry to say, but I thought Browns fans were smarter than this. You guys are the football center of the United States and a class A town. To be satisfied with Mangini is to be satisfied with mediocrity at best. Cleveland deserves better, IMO.

Didn't want him then. Don't want him now. The guy is a joke.

Not even anyone here in New Orleans saw tonight's performance coming. It was really something special to see.

Holy cow I see nothing but Rivers in this dude.

LOL! While I'm not big fan of Sarah Palin, I think it's pretty clear this guy is likely just one of the followers of Mm! Mm! Mm! Barack Hussein Obama. I wonder if he was going around to the democratic rallies asking people how much they knew about Obama's foreign and energy polices.

But man, that Steelers fan! That was gold. Thank you for that.

'From the Associated Press said:

BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. (AP) - Police say a western Pennsylvania man told them he kicked his girlfriend's puppy to death because he was upset that the pit bull wouldn't behave before the start of the Pittsburgh Steelers game.

Twenty-two-year-old William Woodson, of Bridgeville, remained jailed Monday on a charge of animal cruelty.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazettes reports that a witness told police that Woodson was kicking the dog down the street shortly after 1 p.m. Sunday, which is when the football game began. Police say Woodson was supposed to be taking the pit bull for a walk, but the animal resisted. By the time police arrived, the puppy was dead.

Police say Woodson didn't like the dog and was upset that his live-in girlfriend bought it.

Online court records don't list an attorney for Woodson.

Now I'm sure Steeler fans would make a Browns joke here since it was a dog, but let's hope they take the highroad...

Hopefully someone in jail at least told this scumbag the score for the Steelers/Chiefs game.

Please, please, please take him Buffalo! I don't want Shanny anywhere near the Browns. Great offensive cordinator, but the guy is overrated as a head coach and will likely fall even further after trying to run the entire show. The sooner the Bills take him, the sooner I can happily cross his name off the list.

That's Bears fans for ya...

This topic title is misleading. I thought 23.5 was the Browns total yards on offense.

You guys are too kind for showing the Saints uniforms some love.

I think the Browns have one of the best uniforms in the NFL. It's a big reason why I'm a fan of the team. Less is more.

A quick thought: Rather than punting the ball on fourth down, why not just have 4 WR's run deep and let DA chuck it? At least DA can throw further than Hodges can punt...

OMG A DEEP BALL

It makes me sad to hear that despite losing 16-0, Gruden still sounds excited about this team. The guy clearly has the itch to coach again, and he just seems really drawn to this Browns team.

A shame. A big "woulda, coulda, shoulda."

BEREA -- Browns running back Jamal Lewis said today the Browns work too hard during the week to be efficient on game days. They're 1-7 and he's tired of it.

He said the team works every day for 2 1/2 to three hours and has practiced in pads through a half-season more than he did with the Baltimore Ravens in three seasons.

"Hey, you want a W on Sunday when you work like that," he said.

"There's talent all over this room, young and old," Lewis continued. "At the same time, that talent's got to be able to be ready for Sunday and to be fresh for Sunday and be ready to go out and be efficient on Sunday.

"You can work hard as you want. You can work all day, seven days a week all the way up to Sunday in practice. But at the same time, if you're going to work like that, then maybe on Sunday you're probably not going to get what you want out of your players."

Lewis also said he doesn't fit in the Browns' offense because it's a "pass-type offense."

The comments stemmed from another conversation about Lewis' decision to retire after this season, which he first made out of frustration following the Browns' last game in Chicago before their bye week.

Prior to the open locker room period, coach Eric Mangini talked about adjusting his approach to the team as a season drones on. Lewis was asked if Mangini needs to adjust it more.

"Next question," he said.

Asked why he wouldn't speak directly to Mangini about working players too hard, Lewis said, "This is his show. It's not mine. It's not anybody else's show. We're just a crop. You've got to take care of your crop. If you don't take care of your crop, when it comes time to harvest, you're not going to make no money because the crop ain't no good. You know about farming?"

An inquiry has been made for a reaction to Lewis' comments from Mangini.

I can't help but feel that this change isn't what Mangini really wants....

Which if that's the case, good, because his days are already done in Cleveland.

We should just give the Jets Phil Dawson while we're at it.

I enjoyed watching Sanchez...

What a laughable "rumor." There's a difference between benching him for the rest of one game, and not even naming him your starter for the next.

Quinn will not start for Mangini anymore this year. Either Quinn goes or Mangini goes.

You know the Browns also passed on Tom Brady. What a terrible organization.
