The NFL left us this week w/ no shortage of interesting stories and bylines from what was really a great weekend for football fans.  Ranging from record setting outings, quarterbacks feuding w/ their coaches or a head coach pulling one of the most boneheaded plays in recent history, the NFL is definitely the hottest discussion in sports this week – Tiger Woods’ indiscretions seem like a thing of the past already.

After a stellar two games in which he did not throw an interception to open his NFL career, Brady Quinn of the Cleveland Browns will miss the remainder of the 2008-09 season after suffering a broken finger.  Quinn finished the season w/ 2 TDs and 2 INTs, ironically enough in the two games the Browns lost.  He threw for 185 yards and no …

The Browns have agreed to rescind Kellen Winslow’s one-game suspension, but the Pro Bowl tight end will still miss Cleveland’s game on Sunday.  Continue reading on NFL.com
The pseudo-suspension of TE Kellen Winslow didn’t hurt the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, as they won against the Jacksonville Jaguars, 23-17.  Winslow has been more of a distraction than anything for the Browns, so I’m sure it was a relief for them to go out and get the victory over a tough AFC opponent.

I’m not sure I agree with the NFL’s position on the incident from last week’s Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns game.  If Willis McGahee’s eyes were not gouged, how does he come out of the pile w/ a bloody eye?  Running backs get tackled and go down 40+ times game in some cases, but rarely if ever, do …

Derek Anderson really came out of nowhere last year to finish as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. He led the Browns to one of their best seasons (recently) and made the argument of starting Brady Quinn a null issue. Anderson and wide receiver Braylon Edwards helped form one of the top …
