The Sports Blob: Braylon And The Brownies Squish The Fish
Published October 15, 2007
Watch out, LeBron James, there is a new “King” in Cleveland: His name is Braylon Edwards. And hey, hey, hey, hey: To add grumbling insult to grievous injury, Edwards (a graduate of the University of Michigan) is not afraid to dot the “i” in “O-h-i-o” either!
Passed over by the Miami Dolphins in favor of running back Ronnie Brown, Edwards (the No. 3 overall pick of the Cleveland Browns) helped to fillet the Miami Dolphins in a 41-31 oar-thumping at “The Big Brown and Orange Sombrero” on Sunday. Looks like Cleveland Browns Stadium is not “dolphin safe” for Joey Porter - or any other Fish for that matter. (“Sorry, Charlie!” - Try not to get caught in the net.)
Not only are the Cleveland Browns (3-3) back up to a respectable .500 record in the sometimes awesome (sometimes awful) AFC North, but Edwards is currently the second-best wide receiver (at least statistically) behind Randy Moss of the “vaunted” New England Patriots - and we salute you.
Gone Baby Gone
The one-time “brazen” Edwards has put his money where his mouth is (this season) and continues to connect with “backup quarterback” Derek Anderson to complete one of the best throwing guy-catching guy combinations since… well, Tom Brady and Randy Moss.
At this rate, after only six games, Braylon Edwards is on pace to finish the season with 17-to-19 touchdowns as the scrappy Cleveland Browns continue to turn disbelieving heads in the AFC North. Now, for all of you NFL scrooges, just take a look at their upcoming schedule, won't you:
November 4 vs. Seattle Seahawks
November 11 @ Pittsburgh Steelers
November 18 @ Baltimore Ravens
November 25 vs. Houston Texans
December 2 @ Arizona Cardinals
December 9 @ New York Jets
December 16 vs. Buffalo Bills
December 23 @ Cincinnati Bengals
December 30 vs. San Francisco 49ers
No game is “a gimme” to be sure but The Sports Blob likes the odds that (outside of some major injuries) the Browns could win AT LEAST six of their remaining nine games (if not more) and finish their season with a 9-7 record (and a possible wildcard berth). Damn you Lane Kiffin and your treacherous time-out trickery!
The Patriots will win the AFC East. The Chargers should win the West. The Colts in the East. And the Steelers (shudder) take the North Division. That leaves the wildcard up for grabs between the Ravens (nah), the Broncos (are you mile-HIGH???), the Chiefs (“They play to LOSE the game”), the Titans (Madden curse!) and the Jaguars (yeah, maybe, if they don’t cough up a hair ball).

Look, Suss, just like Tony Romo and the Detroit Tigers: You ain't all that, Ms. Thing!
And did I forget to mention (last time I checked) that Kenny Lofton is the "mayor" of Cleveland? Lord knows he is doing a better job than Dennis Kucinich ever did!
Go Tribe ...AND Browns!
Yeah, the Brownies are for real! Let's see where this goes. funny stuff!







Last I checked, "squish" was not synonymous with "somehow beat despite allowing Cleo Lemon to score four touchdowns."
Namely because that's what happened. Secondarily because it's not proper grammar.
