The whole Browns organization hasn't been clicking on all cylinders for years...Lombardi and Banner are just the latest two to get the axe. I wish their successors luck, 'cause they'll need it. The decision to draft a 28 yr old QB (Weeden) wasn't a good one, and set the offense back a few seasons. They need to settle that position quickly...and keep a head coach long enough to do some good. Chudzinksi got a raw deal there...his players were behind him, now they get to start over...yet again.

Still ridiculous how Cleveland is working in the last 12 months.

Even I would be more successful at being a CEO there.

I recall there were people in the zone that wanted Lomboredi [really a boring dude]to come to the Niners.

He'll end up on NFL.com. The gut truly sucks.

Does that mean Josh Gordon is available for cheap??? I know it's wishful thinking.

Browns make the raiders look like a stable franchise.

At least they traded Trent Richardson for a 1st round pick.

It's kind of like trading a low 1 for a late 1st, but give credit were credit is due it's Awesome for them that they were able to get what they got.

I think they got themselves back on track. From what I understand, Farmer is a pretty diligent guy, nose to the grindstone, hard worker, now that the circus has left town in the form of Lombardi and his midget sidekick Banner, the Browns, with 2 1st round picks, could be heading in the right direction finally.

I don't mean the new hire. I mean everything prior.
