Derek Anderson
The move doesn’t come as much of a surprise as Anderson was due a $2 million roster bonus on March 19 in addition to a 2010 base salary of $7.45 million—not to mention the fact that the Browns traded for quarterback Seneca Wallace from the Seattle Seahawks less than 24 hours ago.
Anderson burst onto the scene in 2007 when he threw for 3,787 yards and 29 touchdowns while leading Cleveland to a 10-6 record. He started 31 games over the past three years for the Browns.
With the acquisition of Wallace and the release of Anderson, we can now turn our attention to the fate of Brady Quinn--and whether or not he'll be with the team in 2010. |
hahaha what'd i tell you!! brady quinn finally won the qb battle.
now he must vanquish seneca wallace to claim his grown as king of the shitters.

Derek Takes a DUMP on the browns
| Quote: | With less than a minute to go on 2nd down, Anderson was sacked by Robert Mathis, who copied Freeney by bull rushing the RT this time. He knocked the tackle into Anderson, which resulted in a sack. Anderson injured his MCL on the play, and sadly his season is over. Back-up Ken Dorsey came in and promptly threw a pick to Antoine Bethea (keeping with the Melvin Bullitt and Bob Sanders tradition of safeties coming up with big INTs to win games this year).
When Anderson was injured on that play, several thousand Browns fans did what fans are never supposed to do in any situation.
They cheered the injury.
Now, this cheering was not just heard by the Colts, the Browns faithful, and everyone else in attendance. It was heard, and remembered with bitter detail, by Derek Anderson. Anderson was released from the Browns yesterday as part of new football czar Mike Holmgren's efforts to put his stamp on the club.
Before departing Cleveland, Anderson took the time to bitch-slap the Browns fans that cheered his injury in 2008:
"The fans are ruthless and don't deserve a winner," Anderson said. "I will never forget getting cheered when I was injured. I know at times I wasn't great. I hope and pray I'm playing when my team comes to town and [we] roll them."
My first reaction is to applaud Anderson. Any fan who cheers an injury is a scumbag and deserves a swift kick to the balls. For years, I watched Dan Marino torch my Colts, but I never, EVER heard any Colts fan cheer when Marino went down with an Achilles injury in the early 1990s. We also had some truly awful teams in Indy for damn near 20 years, and I never saw fans cheer a Colts player's unfortunate injury. Not even Jeff George.
So, yes. The Cleveland Browns fans who cheered that injury are douchebags and clearly do not deserve a winner. Obviously, not all Browns fans cheered that moment, but the injury and the euphoria that followed were yet another black mark on a fanbase that is known for this sort of stuff.
I'd have more respect for Anderson if he stuck to his words and followed them up by destroying the Browns every chance he got. Unfortunately, he chickened out and issued an apology statement.
I'm an equal opportunity basher. If I ever attended a Colts game that featured fans cheering the injury of someone like Tim Jennings (a player many Colts fans loathed), I'd log in here and start attacking the character and intelligence of the very fanbase who reads this blog. As fans, we are given a lot of wiggle room. We're allowed to get embarrassingly drunk before the game, shout insults that would make your grandmother's heart stop to players during the game, and call-in to talk radio shows just to demand the head coach's head on a pike after the game.
However, the unwritten rule of fandom is you never, EVER cheer an injury. People who do not understand or abide by this rule are people who deserve nothing less than 30 minutes in a confined space with a starved, rapid mountain lion.
Hopefully, Anderson will land on his feet. I certainly would not mind seeing him here in Indy as a back-up to Peyton Manning, but that won't happen. Teams like the Rams, Vikings, Seahawks, and Cardinals will likely make strong plays for Anderson who sports a ton of talent.
Also, once again I'll stress that not all Browns fans cheered that injury, and I'm sure a few more got into it with their own for doing so. Those people I respect. But, that still doesn't excuse the tens of thousands who cheered as Derek Anderson's knee inflated to the size of a grapefruit. Those people are truly scum. |

| Quote: | Jags season ticket holders to Tebow: No, thanks!
By Doug Farrar
During a media conference call with Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Gene Smith today, it was revealed that in a poll of 800 Jags season ticket holders, 55 percent voted against the idea of the team drafting Tim Tebow -- in any round and in any capacity (this according to Jags beat writer Vito Stellino). This is an interesting wrinkle, because team owner Wayne Weaver has been quoted as saying that he'd be amenable to Tebow on the roster if the Florida Hero of Intangibles put butts in the seats.
"The game is such an important part of this community, and Tebow is such an iconic figure that people would legitimately think, 'Wouldn't it be great if he was a Jaguar,'" Weaver told the Associated Press last September. "I'd be silly to sit here and think that's not going to be a huge thing. Clearly there's going to be a groundswell for Tebow, and we'll have to make that evaluation if we have a draft pick that's going to be anywhere near him,"
Well, with the sample size alert in full effect, it would appear that the community isn't so sure. The Jags have lost thousands of interested fans in the last few years, and expected a full string of local TV blackouts even before the 2009 season began. That said, Weaver might want to take a step back before assuming that Tebow's arrival in teal and black would be some sort of panacea for those attendance issues. He may be the apple of every media member's eye these days, but as Tebow works to adjust his throwing motion and turn himself into the very model of a modern NFL quarterback, the fans don't appear to be quite so convinced. How much will teams beg off his "intangibles" if one of them isn't the ability to sell tickets? We can but wait and see... |
haha they aren't taken by teebowbobobobo

if we have a draft pick that's going to be anywhere near him. How early do you think hell go, and how many picks are you missing? I cant imagine the Jags are that high, probably 10 or under. Unless they are short a round or two and talking about not using their first.

That wouldn’t happen unless, say, Brett Favre would don a Minnesota Vikings uniform.
Well, consider it done. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the Packers will mix it up this year and wear an alternate third jersey “for at least one home game,” according to a team official. Say it ain’t so. |

| Quote: | Sunday was a very busy day in the NFL. As we all suspected, trades have become more prevalent in the league based on the new uncapped rules as teams are more willing to dump salary without any concerns about the cap. Here’s a breakdown of what transpired:
LT and the Jets
AP
Does new Jets RB LaDainian Tomlinson have any explosiveness left?
Let me start by saying I’m not a Jets hater. In fact, I loved their draft last year and wrote glowingly about their decision to not only draft a legitimate quarterback in Mark Sanchez but a very talented running back in Shonn Greene. And I have nothing against LaDainian Tomlinson; in fact, had he signed with any other team, I would feel the same way about signing an older back. I just do not see an explosive player any longer, and the fact the Jets cashed in a 1,400-yard back to sign LT makes this move strange.
Here’s the reason for my reluctance to believe that older running backs can return to their once-great form: When I was with the Browns, we signed Joe Morris, the former Giant who was on the downside of his career. Morris came to Cleveland and looked amazing. He was explosive, fast and powerful -- in the offseason. But once the contact started, he was not the same back who had been great with the Giants. He no longer had the ability to break tackles with his lower body. He no longer had bounce in his step or explosive movement. As the season went along, the worse he became.
I learned a valuable lesson — never trust an older back in the offseason. The evaluation in the offseason is the not the same that will happen during the season. They may look great (or is it that they just look fresh?) when the season starts, but once the pounding begins, there’s very little ability to recover. And it always goes from bad to worse to unplayable.
This is what makes me worry about LT, who is no longer the same player he was for the Chargers years ago. Tomlinson’s decision to come to the Big Apple makes sense from his standpoint since he doesn’t have to learn a new offense. He’ll have the same runs that he’s had his whole career and will not have to adjust his game. Yet the Jets’ decision to base their trust in LT regaining his old form has me skeptical. They better hope Greene can stay healthy or that they know more about LT regaining his old form than the Chargers.
Brady Quinn and the Broncos
AP
Brady Quinn gives Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels another option at QB.
I’m not a Brady Quinn fan and have been writing for weeks that the Browns would dump him. Yesterday’s trade with the Broncos for fullback Peyton Hillis was basically a dump. Yes, I know some fans might think Hillis is a valuable commodity, but his lack of blocking and production without the ball makes him very iffy to even make the Browns roster next season. Hillis might look good occasionally with the ball in his hands, but his lack of overall toughness without it has to be in question.
No, I’m not a Brady Quinn fan, but I’m a huge Josh McDaniels fan, and if anyone can bring out the best in Quinn, it’s McDaniels. If McDaniels can make Matt Cassell successful, there has to be hope for Quinn. The Broncos gain a player at a position of need without any significant cost. Now McDaniels can keep the pressure on Kyle Orton and decide if Quinn has the skills to fit into his system. This shouldn’t change the Broncos’ approach in the draft, nor will it change the Browns’. They still need their quarterback of the future since Jake Delhomme was signed for the present and helps them change the culture in Cleveland.
The Browns under Mike Holmgren are changing their approach to everything, and these changes will keep happening. Holmgren is in charge and is making his presence felt, so much that I often ask myself, “Where is Eric Mangini?” Mangini has gone from being in control of everything, from the décor of the office to just being in the office. His fate now is tied to Delhomme and Seneca Wallace.
Once the signing of Delhomme was announced, I wondered how much longer until the Browns announce the hiring of John Fox as head coach? Fox has less than a year left on his deal in Carolina, so the “Fox Watch” in Brownstown has officially begun. More on that later. |
lt is done
brady quinn is the best value pick in fantasy football history.
delhomme sucks so bad it's not even funny. but didn't we lose to him?
damn it
here's what happens, flacco goes to a house party in west baltimore and gets gatted down. Jim zorn desperate to save the flight of the ravens snatches up JC for a first round tender love and nut cup. JC flourishes behind an offensive line and throws 45 td's to bolden in route to a superbowl victory. Huge monuments to jason campbell are erected all over baltimore.

Time to take a chance on Pacman?Private workout creating a small buzz. Matt Bowen
Print This Send This March 21, 2010, 01:18 PM EST .10 Comments .There is a buzz—a small buzz—around the league right now about former Titans and Cowboys CB Pacman Jones after he recently worked out for teams down in New Orleans and posted 40-times in the mid 4.4 range.
But, will the Lions or the Niners—the two teams who have reportedly shown the most interest—actually make a play for this guy?
We all know about Pacman’s off-the-field issues, and there is no need to even get into that, because the mere fact that teams showed up for a private workout should tell us that there is interest—despite character concerns.
AP
Did Jones do enough at his private workout to get another chance at the NFL?
However, a workout for a guy who has been out of football since 2008 isn’t going to tell us much. The 40 times? A good number, but a number that we see from plenty of rookie prospects who don’t have the baggage and did play competitive football in 2009.
Instead, to see the true value of Jones, a club has to sign him and get him into their off-season program to see if he has any dedication to the game and see him on the field—mini camps, OTAs and training camps. He needs work, and he needs to get that work against NFL receivers and NFL quarterbacks in a competitive setting. One-on-ones, team drills and the individual drills done in a practice environment to get his footwork and his technique back up to game speed. Not to mention the preseason come August to see if he can tackle, and play within the defensive system.
And, even then, you are looking at a corner who was sloppy in the past, takes chances at the corner position and was an average player during his time with the Cowboys. And, as Michael Lombardi wrote this morning, a lack of impressive tape to watch.
Special teams? Jones was dynamic in the past as a returner, but he will have to make a club as a corner first before he can start bringing back kicks.
But, if you are the Lions and Jim Schwartz—who coached Jones in Tennessee—do you take the risk of bringing him aboard, for now? Depends on the contract for starters. A minimum veteran deal, with no money up front is the only option. Allow Pacman to fight for a roster spot and make your team. If he struggles, or if he isn’t the type of character guy you want in the locker room, then cut him.
I wrote about the Lions the first weekend of free agency because they made moves to upgrade their roster. Nate Burleson, Kyle Vanden Bosch and the trade for Corey Williams. For Schwartz to start winning, he has to improve that roster from top to bottom. Is this another one of those moves? Pacman to Detroit? Possibly, if Detroit thinks he can upgrade the corner position.
NFL teams will experiment with veteran players all of the time in the off-season when there is no money tied into the deal. And, that seems to be the only way that Pacman will have a chance to play his way back into the league.
Now, he just needs a team to take a low-risk chance on him—again. |
who the fuck would be dumb enough to grab this guy? I know some highschool kids that can run a 4.5 in the 40 why don't you draft them instead? They're taller than 5'5 and don't have a rap sheet yet.
Wtf how is that anyones even scouting this asshole anymore. It's really that barren in free agency huh?
i hope someone picks him up just for laughs.

| Quote: | ORLANDO, Fla. -- Just a couple of miles from Disney World, the NFL's owners on Tuesday voted to adopt a Mickey Mouse rule change to the league's overtime system for postseason games.
By a vote of 28-4, the league's owners voted to accept a "modified sudden death" system, in which the team that wins the coin toss can win the game with a touchdown on its first possession but not with a field goal. Should the first team to possess the ball in a postseason overtime score a field goal, it would have to kickoff to the other team, which would then get the chance to tie the game with its own field goal (and continue overtime on a sudden-death basis from that point) or win it with a touchdown. If the team with possession first fails to score at all, the opposing team could win with a field goal.
The Bills, Vikings, Ravens and Bengals were the only teams that voted against the proposal, and several teams expressed an interest in changing the rule for regular-season games as well. That could get taken up again at the owners meetings in Dallas in May, but for now the rule change applies only to postseason games, including the Super Bowl.
"There were plenty of people on the [NFL's competition] committee, myself included, who were not inclined to be in favor of this," Indianapolis Colts president Bill Polian said. "But once you got into the statistics, people started to say, 'Yeah, this is a problem that needs to be fixed.'"
Competition committee co-chair Rich McKay said last week that he hoped to make a statistics-based argument that would sway owners who have not been in favor of changing overtime in the past. McKay said that from 1974, when the league adopted sudden-death overtime, until 1994, when they moved the kickoff spot, the team winning the overtime coin toss won 46.8 percent of overtime games and the team losing the coin toss also won 46.8 percent. But since 1994, McKay said, the team winning the overtime coin toss has won 59.8 percent of the time and lost only 38.5 percent of the time.
McKay and the competition committee determined that improved field-goal accuracy from long distance, as well as the change in the spot of the kickoff, had created an unfair advantage to the team that won the overtime coin toss. A long kick return, one good pass play and a penalty, they say, can get you in position to win the game with a field goal. They determined that this was unfair, and they believe their fix addresses the perceived "problem."
But whether McKay's statistical arguments were sound or not, they likely didn't have as much impact as commissioner Roger Goodell did when he publicly threw his support behind the new proposal Monday morning. Goodell was strongly encouraging owners to pass the proposal behind the scenes.
"Don't let perfect get in the way of better," Goodell said he told owners. "I'm not sure there is a perfect overtime system. This has potential to be a better system."
The feeling among owners as they arrived here Sunday for the league meeting was that the proposal didn't have enough support to pass (it needed 24 of 32 votes). But something changed over the past couple of days, and a vote was hastily called Tuesday afternoon when the proposal's supporters realized they had enough votes.
"We felt we had an opportunity to make what we think is a pretty good rule -- sudden death -- even better," McKay said. "We felt a change needed to be made." |
meh, too many people bitching about how the OT rules were "unfair". I thought it was fine. If you want to win the game, stop the guy on offense.
