Big Ben, Just Ben ... Gentle Ben

So, Ben Roethlisberger makes his return to the NFL this week against the Browns.

Umm, are you sure you wanna come back this week, "Just" Ben?



Go Browns!

Finally, Someone Who Gets It

How refreshing it was to read a column about the Browns that was full of common sense for a change. Imagine my surprise when reading Morning Journal columnist Bob Frantz's Rants about Josh Cribbs.

"Yes. Yes! YES!!!" I said to myself as I read this expertly argued column entitled, "Cribbs as NFL Starting Quarterback is Absurd."

Go ahead, read it. It's excellent.

Bravo, Bob! Thank you for being logical.

Go Browns!

This is Football

Other than the win (and Peyton Hillis continuing to rack up tough yards) the highlight of Sunday's game was rookie T.J. Ward's monster hit on Jordan Shipley.

Oh, there was a big outcry of "what a cheap shot" it was and so on.

Well, I think that's B.S. This is football, for cryin' out loud. You play the game, you get hit. You should expect to get hit.

You should expect to get hit hard, especially when you're attempting to catch a ball in the endzone for a touchdown.

Deal with it. If you don't want to get hit, go play soccer or some other sissy sport. This is football.

I'm sick of these namby-pamby rules. Ward didn't lead with his helmet. He didn't even hit him late. Ward laid a clean, hard hit on Shipley. He should not be fined.

Man, oh man. What a nice hit that was. I bet Shipley had snot bubbles for sure! I could watch that hit over and over again. And now, so can you.



Go Browns!
