GIANT UPSET, OR PATRIOT PERFECTION?
February 1, 2008

By Tom Misson
On Sunday, the nexus of the football world meets in Phoenix (actually Glendale), Arizona. Another Super Bowl is upon us. This is XLII, or for those of you who don’t speak Roman Numerals, 42. And we have another dynasty on our hands. The New England Patriots can not only [...]

SPECIAL "K" CATCHES ON
November 29, 2007

By Tom Misson
When you think of the great tight ends over the years in the NFL, who comes to mind? Dave Casper? Charlie Sanders? Ozzie Newsome? Perhaps Kellen Winslow, SR.? Those 4 are all in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. There’s also at least two tight ends playing [...]

HOUSTON, WE HAVE NO PROBLEMS
November 25, 2007

By Tom Misson
Tomorrow the Browns are back at home. Back on the shores of Lake Erie where they are a very good 4-1 on the season. They welcome in a team used to playing indoors. The Houston Texans. After Thanksgiving was always the time when the Browns used to REALLY own [...]

BUCKEYES ROSY IN THE BIG HOUSE
November 18, 2007

By Tom Misson
Woody did it. Now so has Tressel. Win 4 straight against Michigan. It hadn’t been done by Ohio State since the early 1960’s. But in just 7 years, the sweater-vest wearing Northeast Ohio native has permanantly etched his name in stone in Buckeye lore.
Tressel can thank his top-ranked defense [...]

THE STEEL CITY SHOWDOWN
November 11, 2007

By Tom Misson
Browns nation are you ready? Heinz field is about to witness a Cleveland-Pittsburgh game Sunday that by the final gun, might be worthy of front page news on Monday. I said “might.” The Browns have a chance to prove the rivalry is back. The Steelers don’t think so. [...]

WHERE’S ALL THE TALK?
November 8, 2007

By Tom Misson
I like a good argument, probably as much as I do a good cup of coffee. It gets the blood pumping, and the nerves wired.
So where then is all the chatter this week? After all, it is Steelers week, right? Where’s the made-for-bulletin board material?
Steelers all-pro linebacker James [...]

SEAHAWK IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD
November 4, 2007

By Tom Misson
The Browns are hungry. Hungry for another win. It would be their 3rd straight. That’s something we haven’t seen here in C-Town in 6 years.
This Sunday’s game is another one against an NFC team: The Seattle Seahawks. Both the Browns and ‘Hawks have identical 4-3 records. [...]

GOOD-BYE, BYE WEEK, HELLO RAMS
October 25, 2007

By Tom Misson
The rest was nice. So too was not having to play a game, for some. Now it’s time to stap on the pads and that bright orange lid and play football again. The Browns bye week is over. On Sunday, the Browns go to St. Louis to face the [...]

BRADY WILL HAVE TO WAIT
October 11, 2007

By Tom Misson
The Brady Quinn era in Cleveland appears to be on hold. For how long? Hard to say. With 0-5 Miami coming to town this Sunday, then the BYE week, then the hapless Rams come to Cleveland, Derek Anderson’s job as the starting QB is safe for at least 3 more [...]

Browns try to shut up the Ravens
So the Baltimore Ravens come to town Sunday. The HATED Ravens, that is. Earlier this week the mouth of the Ravens defense, All-Pro linebacker Ray Lewis said for the Browns to beat the Ravens, Jamal Lewis will have to go through Baltimore’s defense. Ray-Ray [...]
