Cleveland Browns (2009 Season)

I heard on the local news tonite that Stallworth told the police he had been drinking, but had his last drink at midnite. If this thing happened at 7:00am as reported, I say the guy is toast. Even after not having a drink for 7 hours, and even if he slept for 6 or so hours, he is going to be way over the legal limit if he was 'partying hard" all day on friday. Most people can't calculate their own BAC levels and how long it takes for that stuff to leave your system.

You hear stories about airline pilots getting fired for showing up in the cockpit intoxicated. These aren't guys who sit at the bar and drink and then go fly a plane, these are guys who have dinner and drink after a flight, go to their room and get a good nights sleep, and wake up in the morning with too much juice still left in their systems.

I live in an area that is highly patrolled by the OSP. I often work on saturday and sunday mornings, and its amazing how many troopers are out looking for the "day after drunks" at 8:00am. It's a different "buzz" but it's still a "buzz." And it doesn't matter if the victim here was doing jumping-jacks in the middle of the road or not. If you're over the limit and hit ANY pedestrian, you're going down.

Peace.

if he did only drink the amount he stated, and actually stopped when he said he did, he will not be over the legal limit.

apparently it was a guaranteed bonus, unlike most roster bonuses, therefore it costs almost as much to cut him as it does to keep him.

I wonder how many guaranteed bonuses :pissed:Savage did. I know there were a couple roster bonuses but he would every be hampered himself if he were still around with all of the bonuses that he gave out. Ozzie had to be the brains when those two guys worked together in Baltimore. That is becoming more and more obvious. It will be interesting to see if he gets hired by another NFL team in the next decade.

if nothing else, phil savage was the ultimate case study of what happens when you have a great scout assume the gm role with no other gm experience.

kokinis is the polar opposite in terms of previous experience, so we'll see what works better.

A league insider said to keep an eye on the Browns in regards to Cutler's situation. It's not much. That's really all it says, I'm just posting this link so it doesn't look like I'm making it up.

If Cutler keeps it up, McDaniels might give him something to cry about

I like this. He's a fiery leader with some maturity issues, but he has all the talent in the world. Give him an organization that wants him and I think he'll be fine.

Damn. If we bring in Cutler, I'm going to be extra pissed at letting Winslow go. Might as well add as many players that I hate to the roster. Is it too late to get in on TO, Ray Lewis, and Pac Man Jones. Hopefully we pick up as many Wolverines in the draft as well, preferrably Morgan :rofl:Trent.

You'd learn to like him. :p

Not unless he learns to get that doufus look off of his face. He constantly looks perplexed. That and he bitches every time something doesn't go his way on the field. He reminds of Drew Tate from Iowa a few years ago. Every single time they got forced off of the field he was chewing someone out. If he threw a bad pass, he bitched at the receiver or line. It's just obnoxious as hell. I'll take my chances with Brady or Anderson. And it takes a lot for me to say that, b/c I never wanted and still don't like Brady that much...

I don't think he's as bad a guy as you think he is. He definitely has a dumbass look on his face constantly, I'll give you that.

I think he paid for Clady to go to Hawaii with him when Clady was snubbed for the Pro Bowl. The guys on Denver's offense responded pretty well to Cutler IMO.. he's definitely not a "nice" leader. He gets in peoples' faces and tells them what they're doing wrong. I don't think that kind of attitude would be bad in Cleveland. The guy was loved in Denver.

Peyton Manning puts a lot of blame on his WRs sometimes too. (Second time I've made a Manning comparison. Again, not trying to say Cutler is the next Manning).

He's taleneted for sure....I just want no part of him. It'd be the same as rooting for Winslow...it was nice when he made plays for Cleveland, but very bittersweet. I'd much rather root against Cutler. I'd much rather not have to root for a guy that is forcing his way out of Denver b/c they made a play for Matt Cassel, a QB with a pre-existing relationship with Josh McDaniels.

I think a deal for Cutler would be very bad. I never really thought he was that special when I watched him play for Denver. Granted those were limited games. I guess I also don't want the Browns to take a guy who is almost demanding to be traded or released. I also don't like the fact that they are talking about giving up Quinn. I want to see when he has before I give up on him. I have seen Anderson and the jury is still out and I don't see Cutler as much of an improvement over Anderson.
