There's really not too much that would shock us coming out of the Cleveland Browns organization right now. Last week brought a trade of the team's No. 1 receiver Braylon Edwards -- arguably the sole weapon on the offense -- as well as allegations that rookie running back James Davis suffered a season-ending injury because he was padless and hit by a player who was in full pads.

Yesterday, we had word from Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer that Brady Quinn was on the trading block after being replaced by Derek Anderson. Coach Eric Mangini reiterated on Monday that "D.A. will continue to start" in spite of a 15.1 QB rating against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Last night, word came over the news wire that Quinn's house is up for sale. While some might think nothing of this -- perhaps he just wants to live closer to LeBron James -- we can speculate a bit and make a connection with Jay Cutler's trade. After an initial round of trade rumors related to Cutler circulated, his house in Colorado was reportedly up for sale, and although we were told to "think nothing of it" by various pundits, he was soon shipped out to Chicago.

We'll update when we hear more.
"When Cleveland benched Brady Quinn, it also sacked his earning power. Quinn's contract contained a clause that said he had to play in 70 percent of the team's offensive plays this season -- roughly 11 games -- to trigger a $5 million escalator in pay for this season and a $5.95 million escalator for next season. Thus, if Quinn is on the bench for six games this season -- his second will come in the Browns fifth game today against the Bills -- then he stands not to make $10.95 million in bonuses."

Coach Eric Mangini said Wednesday that the Browns are "not looking to move" Brady Quinn before the October 20 trade deadline.

Asked if he'd request a trade, Quinn replied "No, that's not my nature to do something like that. I have a contract with the Browns and I intend to play that out." Quinn said his home is for sale only because he's a "bachelor" and can't deal with "upkeep" of the five-bedroom, five-bathroom household.

The Browns offense is just woeful, especially with Braylon gone now.

Who would want to trade for Quinn though?

Yea, pretty dumb on both parts.. The Vikings actually willing to give up 2 firsts and the Browns not taking that deal. Quinn is horrendous..

No way, I thought he was Cleveland's savior :eek:
The amazing Notre Dame QB that just needed his playing time and he'd have no problem being Lebron James' football playing neighbor.

I never wanted Quinn.. Bad foot work, bad mechanics, he looks for his RBs and TEs way more then his receivers and he can't accurately throw down field.. Poor field vision as well. Playing the naval academies and lower level big 10/pac 10 schools really can bolster your stats in college..

Wow, history has been made. I think this is a first. You and I actually agree on something on think the exact same thing about a certain player.

Anderson completely fell off, and Quinn is finally proving his criticizers right. Oh Cleveland Browns, what has happened to thee? Just two years ago they were looking to finally be a force in the mighty AFC North.

Whattya think they should do? I say tank for Sam Bradford and watch him phail too :lol: jk ;)

The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched(草盖的)roof cottages around a church; a drive through a narrow village street lines with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight in parts of England.Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.
world of warcraft power leveling
  Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles(英论诸岛). Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches, too.  
  Thatching is a solitary(独自的)craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practiced toady has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Manyproperty owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.
replica watches,
  In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials.Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months.Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years,replica watches, and is an effective defiance against the heatThe researcher organized an experimental tournament(锦标赛)involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.

Observers noted down the referees’ errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.

The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right,, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters.replica watches, The research shows the optimum(最佳的)distance is about 20 meters.

There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.
replica watches,
If FIFA, football’s international ruling body,wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.
replica watches,
He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.

Thatching is a solitarycraft,

07 all together was just a huge fluke.. We had a weak schedule, and we didn't have to deal with injuries. Every player on offense complimented each other really good. You had the deep threat down field in Edwards, the sure handed TE who makes fantastic catchers any where, the 3rd down sure handed receiver in Joe Jerevicius and a Jamal Lewis who was itching to prove his doubters wrong and to go with it a rocket arm QB and a pretty good offensive line. Injury bug hit Jerevicius, Edwards and Winslow ran their mouth even more and Winslow got his yearly injury, Braylon got the drop bug and Lewis became ineffective again.

His only real competitions were playing USC and Michigan. But he's still better than Russell. Maybe they'll end up getting a QB this draft, although the NFL talent of QB's isn't believed to be that great.
