Sunday Bumday
The Cleveland Indians are no longer the lone losers in this city.
The Browns will give them a run for their money until Oct. 27 when the Cavaliers’ season starts and this city and its fans can get back to business.
Another NFL season is underway and once again, the Browns will be irrelevant.
The Vikings, who were surprisingly only a 3 1/2 point favorite to beat the Clowns, got a subpar performance from ancient quarterback Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson didn’t really “get it going” until the game was out of hand.
Yet the Browns still looked disoriented out on the football field and were vastly outplayed.
Peterson had two touchdowns in the red zone while the game was still meaningful, but yardage wise didn’t put a dent into the stat sheet until the fourth quarter.
In more important news, Peterson, my first overall pick in The News-Herald Fantasy Football League, scored half my points this weekend.
So, I got that going for me, which is nice.
Too bad he won’t be playing the Browns defense each week.
Back to the Browns. There is Joshua Cribbs and then there is everyone else.
Everyone else can go, Cribbs may stay (If the Browns choose to pay him...in other words, nice knowing ya Josh.)
Heartthrob Brady Quinn, who somehow has been appointed this city’s savior for accomplishing virtually nothing, pretty much did, well, virtually nothing on Sunday.
He racked up about 100 passing yards and a touchdown during garbage time in the fourth quarter.
The only thing on offense that impressed me was Jamal Lewis, who inexplicably only got 11 carries despite racking up 57 yards and dragging out extra yardage as three Viking defensive lineman clawed onto his back.
Braylon Edwards was Braylon Edwards and the rest of the Browns were still the Browns.
Translation: Other NFL teams win, The Browns lose.
In more important news, I was up against Edwards in another fantasy league.
Translation: My fantasy team > fantasy opponent.
In case you haven’t noticed, I’m much more devoted with keeping track of my three fantasy football teams then I am with following this AFL team trapped in the NFL.
I mean, I’ll follow, but it’s hard to get up for a game when you know each week we’re going to get pounded while trying to figure out how in the world to score a touchdown.
Christopher Columbus can be taking snaps from rookie Center Alex Mack and even he wouldn’t discover the end zone.
On the bright side, Oct. 27 is only six weeks away.
