It's bad. The entire city is in meltdown mode. You should hear the local sports talk radio and read some of the comments on the local Browns message boards. It is very, very bad right now.....
It's a different type of emotion. First off, this city is by far a Football town first and foremost. Browns football talk, no matter how bad they are flood the airwaves even during Basketball season.
With the Cavs, it was disappointment. An almost expected disappointment. We, more than any other city have had our share of disappointing losses and that was just another to add to the list.
With the Browns though, it's more of an apathetic emotion. To not see any sort of progress for so long is finally getting to some people. It's depressing as hell because so many people live and die Browns football around these parts.
Pennington reportedly out for the year with a shoulder injury (dislocated it this weekend).
Bulger going through tests, if he has a torn rotator cuff like expected, he's also gone for the year as well.

That's probably a career for Pennington. He's ripped that shoulder up at least twice in the past.
Speculation commences that Mangini won't make it to January
Tony Grossi from the Cleveland Plain Dealer just confirmed this report by PFT. I am literally sick to my stomach. I think I'm going to spew! Why won't Randy Lerner fire HIMSELF and stop waisting the fans time and money?! This moron can't make a right decision to save his life!

Good for the Dolphins though, now it's Henne's job, he gets to justify being taken in the 2nd round with not as much pressure to win. He's been forced into the role and now they get to see what they have... good/bad/ugly.
Seemed like a good guy to me too. People made fun of his weak arm, unfairly IMO, but the guy was a winner.
i agree. that's the only good thing that can come out of this. to know what this kid is made of and if he has what it takes. some here in miami were already criticizing chad after the 1st 2 games. not me. i'm grateful chad came to us. he helped turned this team around. he might not have a strong arm but he's a very intelligent football player and knows how to win. very nice guy too. he's the best we've had since dan marino retired after the 99 season. some people forget the amount of crappy qb's that have passed here since danny left and what a difference it was to have chad on the team last season. thanks chad :up
Yes, even though Sandra stole my thunder with her version of MMQB, I will be presenting my weekly column of my own. Stay tuned.....
Monday Morning QB: Week 3 with HD MM
1. A Head Coach and Quarterback earn way too much praise when things are going well and way too much criticism when things are not going well. Case and point Eric Mangini & Brady Quinn vs. Rex Ryan & Mark Sanchez. Is Sanchez really THAT much better than Brady Quinn? Doubtful. He just so happens to be surrounded by better players. Is Rex Ryan THAT better of a coach than Mangini? Doubtful. Again, there are a lot more moving parts to make that direct assumption. Even though the Browns are struggling, I want more than anything to see continuity with this team. Give the coach time to build a team with HIS type players. Look at what Rex and the Jets are doing with the players Mangini helped recruit. At the same time, give Quinn some time at QB. He can't fairly be judged with such weak and inexperienced weapons surrounding him such as Mike Fuerry, Robert Royal, Mohamed Massoquoi, etc. Can he?
2. Congratulations to the city of Detoit and their football team! The proverbial monkey is finally off their backs!
3. The defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers are 1 Rob Bironas made field goal away from being 0-3. The same as the Bucs, Browns, Rams and Chiefs. Wow!
4. The perennial AFC North bottom dweller Cincinnati Bengals are 1 fluke play away from being 3-0. Wow!
5. Why hasn't Michael Crabtree signed yet? Regardless of how close he is to making Darrius Heyward-Bey money, does he realize how much money he will miss out on if he forgoes his rookie season? Who's advising this kid?
6. 185: The number of games in which Terrell Owens had a reception which came to an end Sunday. I would've loved to hear the soundbites and/or Twitters from TO following the game.
7. I guess Drew Brees doesn't have to throw a TD to win. Welcome back Pierre Thomas. Yet another offensive weapon for the Saints returned to the lineup on Sunday.
8. In all of Favre's historic and tenured career, did you know Sunday was his first come from behind last second throw for victory? This type of win is exactly why the Vikings put up with all his crap in preseason and precisely why they wanted him so desperately. Tough loss for the 49ers btw.
9. What's with the Arizona Cardinals play calling? Does Ken Whisenhunt really think Kurt Warner can out duel Peyton Manning? On a given day sure, but with the pass rush for Indy, you have to keep the defense honest by at least attempting to run every once in a while. They did draft a highly touted RB by the name of Beanie Wells with their first draft selection. Use him!
10. Broncos fans are probably screaming form atop the Rockies with their fast start, but please keep in mind they played the Browns, Bengals and Raiders. Their next opponents include the Cowboys, Pats, Chargers, Ravens and Steelers. if they win one of those games, then color me impressed.

Yeah, me too. He played college at Marshall which is a stone's throw from where I live.

To follow the back & forth feud with Rodney Harrison:
Terrell Owens (terrellowens) on Twitter
Wow, this is some serious spin right here! Wheeeeee!!!
For the sake of accuracy you need to add that with the Jets, Mangini did well in his first year only...when they apparently weren't his players. I guess Herm Edwards deserves all the credit for that.
It as the second and third year with the team that Mangini imploded...with his own recruits. Yikes, not a good sign.
How weird is this...I'm criticizing Rex Ryan at 3-0, and you're spinning up Mangini, who everyone else thinks is a distaster so far. Good luck with that!
I do agree about Quinn, me may turn out to be good...eventually.
Sandra
I posted that they would probably win right after I heard that it was Blacked Out.
