Browns Camp: Winslow Speaks
July 31, 2006

By John Chandler
Give Kellen Winslow, Jr. credit for being honest.
After Monday’s morning practice, the Browns tight end admitted that he thinks he’ll never be 100% healed from the injuries he suffered in the now infamous motorcycle accident in the spring of 2005.
“But I think my 90 percent is better than any tight end out there,” [...]

Browns Camp: Tuckered Out
July 31, 2006

The sight of starting right tackle Ryan Tucker watching practice Sunday, wearing a brace on his right knee and a long look on his face was a little concerning.
He missed his fourth practice in three days, thanks to what head coach Romeo Crennel termed an “old knee.” There’s a good chance that knee will have [...]

Nothing Shy About Braylon
July 31, 2006

Braylon Edwards sat down in front of a row of cameras, wearing a blue hat with a maize block “M” in support of Michigan–his alma mater.
Such a choice in head apparel would make any typical Browns player the scorn of its passionate fanbase (remember, most Browns fans are Ohio State fans, too). But then, Braylon [...]

Bentley Injures Knee: What A Nightmare
July 27, 2006

It took the Browns exactly one play to come face to face with a nightmare. And it’s that nasty nightmare, too; the recurring one that jolts you awake in a cold sweat.
On the first play of 11-on-11 drills, center LeCharles Bentley tumbled to the ground, reaching for his left leg. He was heard yelling, “no!” [...]

Browns Training Camp: Day One
July 27, 2006

The Browns are all back… well, almost.
Consider this Training Camp update an online postcard to rookie WR Travis Wilson, the only missing Browns player. He’s currently holding out in a contract dispute, one that could last through the weekend. Said GM Phil Savage before the start of this afternoon’s practice, “It’s important to have our [...]

Wickman for WHAT???
July 20, 2006

The Indians traded Bob Wickman to Atlanta for a minor league prospect on Thursday. That’s the headline. Now, here’s the catch: the “prospect” is from the Single A level.
Major League ready? He’s not even Minor League tested.
Forget the fire sale; this is like garage sale shopping. Oh, you’re interested in my antique closer? That’ll cost [...]

While I Was Out…
July 14, 2006

You know those old pink written messages you used to get at work? The ones that voice mail pretty much replaced? Right. Well, consider this one giant pink “while you were out” message.
Sometimes a few days away from the swing of things gives you a fresh perspective. And a terrible sun burn, but my issues [...]
