Can Things Get Any Worse?

Bye-Bye Braylon. No I'm not talking about one of Braylon's highlight reel touchdown receptions from 2007. I'm talking about him packing his bags and moving to the Big Apple. In another brilliant, with the definition of brilliant loosely defined, maneuver, Eric Mangini has managed to trade our only wide receiver with any experience and talent. Even though Braylon has become a shadow of his former Pro-Bowl self, he is only 26. The dynamic duo of Kellen Winslow and Edwards is gone and Anderson and Quinn are left with no one to throw to. The Jets have to be the happiest team in the NFL if for no other reason then they are capitalizing on Cleveland's misfortunes. They parlayed Cleveland's 5th overall pick into Mark Sanchez and, obviously, have now acquired Braylon Edwards for Sanchez to play pitch and catch with. The Jets will make some noise come playoff time while Cleveland is working hard towards its goal of becoming the 2nd 0-16 team in NFL history.

At this point, I'm not sure Cleveland could beat the Tebow-less Gators, Texas or USC. Hell anyone ranked in college foootball's top-25 may give Cleveland a run for their money. Mount Union would be competitive. Well maybe not Mount Union, but the other 3 schools could without a doubt. In fact, I'd be willing to put money on the imaginary matchup. Once LeBron leaves after this next season, all of Cleveland sports will be a fucking joke. It's nice knowing that without any expectations to live up to you will never be disappointed. Thank You Cleveland for giving back to me so much for all of the blood, sweat and tears I have put into supporting your sorry ass excuse for a franchise. With any luck, well a lot of luck like HELL OF A LOT of luck, I will be able to buy that shit franchise and run it the way it should run. Hey, I can dream can't I?
