Pool table latest addition

An addition greeted the players in the middle of their locker room yesterday, a pool table. It's a good luck symbol of sorts because they had a pool table in their locker room at the University of South Florida the week of the Super Bowl. Tomlin arranged for the regulation-sized table to be delivered . "It's great," said Willie Parker. "It takes the card-playing out of the question."

Browns GM Savage apologizes for e-mail expletive

By TOM WITHERS – 5 days ago

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns general manager Phil Savage has apologized to a fan for sending a profane e-mail following Monday night's game against the Buffalo Bills.

to savage:

"You are easily the worst GM in the NFL. Chud, Crennel and Tucker should
NOT have jobs. How the hell do you play prevent defense the entire
game? How do you NOT use Jerome Harrison more? Why the hell would you
throw the ball with 6 minutes left? This is officially a regime that is
worse than Butch Davis'. By the way, just like last week - this email
was written while the Browns still had the lead."

from savage:

"Go root for Buffalo-f#@* you-"

Penn State, which also has remaining games with Iowa, Indiana and Michigan State, hasn't won in Columbus in 30 years.

Quarterback Daryll Clark, who is from Youngstown, hopes to put an end to that losing streak against the Buckeyes.

"It's everything that you dream for when you come to a Big Ten school and you're from Ohio," he said. "And you're going down into the horseshoe and that's one of the most hostile places to play in.

"With everything working and the weapons we have and the coaches and all the other players we have we are very confident that we can go in there and weather the storm and actually get a win."

No playoffs for Browns due to schedule, depth issues

By Chick Ludwig
Monday, July 21, 2008

Which AFC North team will be the first to implode in 2008?
That's an easy one. The Cleveland Browns, of course. And it's only a matter of time before the albatross of a quarterback controversy confronts Cleveland. With home games against Dallas (Sept. 7) and Pittsburgh (Sept. 14), the Browns will start 0-2. They'll beat Baltimore on the road (Sept. 21), then lose at Cincinnati (Sept. 28) and be 1-3. During their Oct. 5 bye, look for quarterback Derek Anderson to be replaced by Brady Quinn for the Monday-Nighter at the New York Giants (Oct. 13). Cleveland will struggle the remainder of the season to get back to .500.
