2009 Schedule Released

It looks like another tough battle for the Browns this season.  

They will get 2 prime-time games, although one is a Thursday game on NFL Network.  

I see this turning into a 5-11 to possibly 6-10.  It is always a little harder to win in the best division in football.  Hopefully this season, though, the Browns can actually be one of the tough teams in the AFC North.

Sanchez could be good pick at 5

I know it is a stretch, but if Aaron Curry is not available at the fifth pick in this month's draft, then why not pick Mark Sanchez?

Sanchez supposedly had tremendous work outs and great reviews from guys like Trent Dilfer.  If the Browns end up trading Brady Quinn, Derek Anderson or both, a quarterback is not such a bad pick.  Why not Matthew Stafford?

I think Sanchez over Stafford because everyone thinks the opposite.  Seriously, everybody thought Tim Couch could be great.  I think Sanchez is better long-term.  We may have to wait a few years to see, but I'm sure we'll all remember, I called it!

Kellen Winslow says the Giants "great fit" for Braylon Edwards

According to Kellen Winslow, Braylon Edwards would love to play for the New York Giants. On a SIRIUS radio show, Winlsow said that Edwards would love to play in the Big Apple.

“For some reason I don’t (think he’ll play for the Browns in 2009),” Winslow said. “I know Braylon would love to go to New York. The Giants would fit him to the ‘T’ and he would have so much fun up there. I know he loves Cleveland but New York would be a great fit for him.”

If he gets what he wants, I'm sure he'll play great. I think we need to keep Edwards due to the lack of talent at wide receiver. Maybe the Browns can make a sign and trade deal next season. Without Steve Smith from the Giants, this deal does not happen.

Oops, we dropped Braylon.

For a couple of draft picks, why not trade Braylon Edwards?

Brandon McDonald, We like it.

Brandon McDonald, CB for the Cleveland Browns, is getting some recognition.  

The former University of Memphis standout and current NFL starter has recently received several awards.  The best one for his bank account is an impressive $329,803 from the NFL.  The league bases the bonus on performance and Mr. McDonald has certainly earned his money.  

What will John Calipari do?

By now we have all heard that University of Memphis head basketball coach John Calipari has been offered the same position by the University of Kentucky.  The deal, according to ESPN, is for eight years and $35 million.  That deal would make him the highest paid coach in college basketball.

Here's the kicker.  A source has let me know that last night, Memphis athletic director R.C. Johnson and the biggest monetary contributors to the university had a private meeting with Calipari. 

The coach was made an offer to stay at Memphis for $60 million and 10 years.  That deal would make John Calipari the second highest paid coach in all of American sports, collegiate or professional.  The highest paid coach in American sports is Phil Jackson of the Los Angeles Lakers.  

ESPN is not reporting this, but I think this offer has been put on the table.

This is an incredible lineup of music.  If love live music this is the best show for the money.  Especially in these "tough economic times."
