Cruel Intentions

Okay, it's Sunday afternoon and I've been watching football all day. The best thing about it is I am actually enjoying the games for a change because Cleveland isn't playing. I don't have to worry about my team embarrassing themselves yet again. I don't have to listen to all of my buddies busting my balls for loving the NFL team that looks like they might get beat by some of the elite college teams this season. Instead, it's nice and quiet while I make fun of everyone else's teams who lost. For instance, I no longer feel like Cleveland has the worst luck in league after watching the Texans lose a 17 point lead to the Colts with 4 minutes to go in the game.
The one thing that still upsets me about the Browns right now is they feel like nothing has gone wrong. Phil Savage said and I quote, ""We've spent three-plus years trying to put this team together and get our best players onto the field... I know for a fact 1,000 percent -- I've talked to people around the league, people who have been in this business a long time, coaches, front office types -- you don't go blowing things up after a couple games. We've had a dry spell for the first couple weeks, but you're not going to do it and be successful in this league." Well Phil no one is talking about "blowing things up." All we want as fans is a tuneup: grease the hinges, tighten the screws and start Brady Quinn. We aren't asking for much because apparently when we ask for competence from anyone in the organization that is too much to ask for and you go on one of your little tirades because someone hurt your feelings. The bottom line is Savage and Crennel are screwing up. Their inability to admit that they are screwing up is what the problem is. I mean everyone knows Cleveland on its way to rock bottom, but it's the people who are willing to admit their past mistakes that will turn this team around. Savage and Crennel are stubbornly beating a dead horse because they do not want to own up to their mistakes and say that everything they have worked for the past 3 years isn't working out the way they had originally planned.
Unless Savage and Crennel suddenly decide to mix things up a bit, I wouldn't expect much of change in Cleveland.
