what is it with the Browns fascination with New England has beens?

they all worked together in New England and Mangini is also keeping Romeo Crennel?

Newflash - without Bellichick these guys are has beens.

Same old Browns, same old results.

It never got any better for Browns fans than it did on: Dec. 24, 1950

Cleveland’s first NFL season after four years dominating the AAFC ended as offensive tackle Lou “The Toe” Groza kicked a field goal in the final seconds to lift the Browns to a 30-28 victory over the L.A. Rams in the NFL championship game. The thrill of victory was compounded by the delicious joy of revenge: the Rams had played in Cleveland from 1937 to 1945 before abandoning the Mistake by the Lake for the sunshine of La-La Land. (Read a great contemporary report of that 1950 championship game here.)

1950? ok if you say so. I thught this year was pretty darn good for the Browns.

I told my family and friends about this website. They are going to register and post for fun.

no other team was interested in Crennel. Maybe he can manage the buffet before games.

Browns are good at hiring and keeping losers. nothing new here.

Both have won Super Bowls. Too bad Browns. too bad for your crappy little loser town

Romeo to return kickoffs and punts as soon as they find a uniform nig enough for him to squeeze into.

Hip Hip Horay!

Browns still making bad decisions even after blowing up the team.

What GM wants to be associated with these bozos?

I think the NFL has overlooked a great opportunity to start a new bowl. They already have the Super Bowl for the best in the league. How about a Losers Bowl? You know -- the worst teams playing the worst teams.

This would eliminate the saying "wait until next year," and the Browns could be contenders year after year after year.

LoserBowl has a nice ring to it for the Browns.

anyone notice the empty trophey case at Browns HQ? It has dust all over it and no Lombardi tropheys.

Denver will get better AND San Deigo will get better. Word has it Norv Turner will be fired and Mike Shanahan will replace him.

I like both moves, but the best move was Tomlin to win it all. Steel Curtain stops everyone.

Mangini is unproven. Why hire a coach BEFORE a GM?

The Browns have made another bad decsion that will keep them from competing with the Steelers and Ravens.

Hiring someone who worked for Bellichick is LAME. It is desperation hoping for the PATS ruboff. (Weiss, Crennel)

The Browns continue to make horrid decisions that cost them dearly year after year. This was not well thought out but in retrospect who really wants to coach the Browns or be the GM under Randy Lerner? Not too many people which is why the Browns jumped when someone was interested in them even after they were fired.

The Steelers would never do this. Guess the wins and losses sort of expalins it all when you compare both teams (Steelers -Browns)

If I were a Browns fan I'd be rooting for Touchdowns and wins instead of trying to injure another player.

This game was over b4 it started lets just hope lerner is watching and puts to an end any stupid thought that might be lingering in the back of his head of bringing crennel or savage back next year to any degree these 2 have made the browns far worse than davis could have ever dreamed..

you blame PGH for you failures. Try taking some responsibilty and putting a football team on the field that can win games. Playing football games to injure people is not professional at all. Just because Pittsburgh wins and you lose does not give you the right to go headhunting. Goodell should fine McGinest.

@mr.-t said:

Just face it he has been brought back to soon after similar injuries and now he has a Glass Jaw from it. Just like a boxer if your knocked out you have to stay out of the ring for a while until your pumpkin is healed.

It must be that great stoolers coaching medical staff and their front office for allowing Big BEnnie to come back so soon.

Mild concussion from McGinest's illegal helmet to helmet hit. (he will be fined)

Steelers are winning 14-0. Ain't that a hoot?

Kellen Winslow Jr. said:

What makes this even better is that we put him on the stretcher.

when you have a classless city and a born loser football team seems like a recipe for desperation.

When the Browns can play varsity and act with class please let the rest of us know.

Illegal helmet dirty hit. classless

@mr.-t said:

also torn ligaments in his shoulder!!!!!

the steelers fix is just do steroids man!!!

it was helmet to helmet, watch the video and see the fine handed out next week.

Browns are insanely jealous of the steeler's success. It is sad to see a city root for someone to get hurt.

@d-qwimbley said:

Aha. Once again, wasn't a helmet to helmet. Perfectly clean good football hit. It was more shoulder pad to shoulder pad. I hate that he's hurt because I don't like seeing anyone hurt but just because your coach was stupid enough to start him and he got hurt, don't make shit up.

Gloat all you want about the helmet to helmet illegal hit on Ben, The Browns still can't score and will lose for the 11th time. 14-0. When will you score?

Roger Goodell will be fining McGinest next week.

I guess when you can't win you become thugs . Browns are a sad sad football team and city.

It would have to be the Lions first, Browns second, and Raiders third. Lions are just plain pathetic and are bad year after year. Browns are almost that way under Lerner. The Raiders stink as well but they have won 3 Super Bowls which shows that Al Davis knew what he was doing during certain times.

Crennel has won 5 Super Bowls but is 0-7 against the Steelers..

This year the Steelers will sweep the AFC North.

@gips said:

Oh well theres always next year!

Crennel=gone

Braylon 5 hour no speed or energy?=gone

Winslow? whio knows

Playing in pukesburgh? we do it every year we get beat every year

Steelers still suck..

The question they ask in Ohio classrooms is "Why does our owner suck balls and why did the nfl let al lerner buy the franchise?
