The Browns' offense is productive enough that this week's 16½-point spread in New England seemed too high at first glance ... well, until you remembered the Patriots made a pact to win every 2007 game by 20-plus points and run up the score in every fourth quarter, and only because it's a much more subtle way of saying "[BLEEP] YOU!!!!" to the rest of the league than just having all 53 guys and the coaching staff hold their middle fingers in their air as they walk off the field. You might see Romeo Crennel break Art Shell's record for "most blank stares out onto the field" this week.
that made me lol and rofl

Whoops, I forgot about Norv Turner and Ted Cottrell! Sorry about that. Poor Norv rendered the "Norv Turner Second-Half Collapse Checklist" obsolete (as described last week) and forced me to create a brand-spanking-new "Norv Turner First-Half Collapse Checklist" from scratch. Let's see how he looks through four weeks:
• Players arguing on the sidelines? (CHECK)
• Fans chanting the previous coach's name after an embarrassing home loss? (CHECK)
• QB getting sacked and throwing the ball up for grabs? (CHECK)
• Just an ungodly amount of penalties? (NO)
• Steady stream of excuses? (CHECK)
• Players taking veiled shots at the coaching staff? (NO)
• Players telling reporters things like "we need to stick together right now" and "we need to show some urgency"? (CHECK)
• General malaise and dissatisfaction within the fan base? (CHECK)
• Local columnists taking shots at him? (CHECK)
• Big coaching name (Bill Cowher, Pete Carroll) looming as a replacement? (CHECK)
• Star player breaking down in tears during a postgame news conference? (CHECK)
(That's right, we're a penalty-filled loss in Denver and a few veiled postgame barbs away from finishing this checklist before Week 6. I couldn't be happier.
