2008 Browns' Football

Well last night I watched the Browns play against the defending Super Bowl champion Giants and the Browns pretty much look like they are in mid-season form, playing a high level of Romeo ball. That is where you fall behind by 4 touchdowns and make the other team play with a really large lead, before coming back at the end of the game and having a chance to win, but still being able to give up critical first downs while the other team runs out the clock. Yes the Browns pulled it off near flawlessly Monday. They got down 30 to 3, by giving up touchdowns in just about every conceivable manner. First 2 TD tosses by Eli Manning, then a punt return for a TD, then a fumble inside the Giants 10 that was returned for a TD. Then the backups entered the game and came back. I started watching again in the fourth quarter and it would have been nice to have a commentator actually talking about the game, but instead we get Tony Kornhighser or whatever his name is, talking about golf or something. It was the dumbest thing I'd ever seen. ESPN complained up and down about not having competitive games and here is a 3 point game with less than 2 and half minutes and one of the announcers is complaining that if the game goes to O.T. he'll run out of stuff to talk about. Here's an idea, idiot, TALK ABOUT THE GAME!! I don't care what you do in your off time, people don't tune into Monday Night football to hear Tony's whimsical stories of yester year. Just talk about the game, or better yet don't talk at all. Soon enough old Tony will probably going the ranks of Dennis 'nobody understands what I'm saying' Miller as 'former' MNF hosts. Anyway the Browns' starters looked pretty bad, and knowing their personnel and the changes they made this off season I'd say 7-9, maybe 9-7 if they get some breaks.
