Browns Backers, headacheùan annoying or bothersome person, situation, activity, etc.á To quote my girlfriend when we both found out about Braylon Edward's being traded to the Jets, "Good riddance!" á Don't get me wrong, I was a fan of Edwards back in his Pro Bowl year of 2007, when he had 80 catches for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns. But when you drop wide-open balls in games and punch a member of ...

Browns Backers,á slip - "to get away or free oneself from; escape (a pursuer, restraint, leash, etc.)"á In a game in which the Browns offense may have finally found a spark of life, it was the defense that once again flat-lined. The question that remains is that at 0-4, will the Browns 2009 season need to call a coroner?á With their first win withing their grasp, Bengals QB, Carson Palmer manged ...

Browns Backers, reduxû"brought back; resurgent"ááá You have to wonder who is the most hated man in Cleveland sports right now? Is it the reclusive part-time billionaire owner, Randy Lerner for his invisible style of ownership, Eric Mangini for his wannabe Edgar Hoover CIA style super-secrecy or is it the outcast who took the starting QB job from Brady Quinn, Derek Anderson?

With four interceptions tossed by both of them it would not surprise me to see third-stringer, Brett Ratliff play. The Browns are now officially the ...

Browns Backers, stymie - " a situation or problem presenting such difficulties as to discourage or defeat any attempt to deal with or resolve it."     I guess the classic saying of "Be careful what you wish for you just might get it," can be said for Browns fans' unrequited love affair with quarterback Brady Quinn.   Fans who have wanted Quinn start for the Browns are right now searching for answers or even a ...

Browns Backers,   stumble—"to make a slip, mistake, or blunder"   Browns fans finally got their wish in seeing Brady Quinn start, too bad that it was more of an audition for NFL Follies.    During one play in the game the ball slipped out of Quinn's hands only to be recovered for the Vikings—let's just hope he plays more like the Browns golden boy savior than Garo Yepremian did in Super Bowl VII.   At least ...

Browns Backers,   schism—"division or disunion, esp. into mutually opposed parties"        One would never guess that the Minnesota Vikings were theologically astute when they alluded to the fact that there was a "schism" among players in their locker room, in their support for QB's Tavaris Jackson and long-time NFC nemesis from their arch rival, Brett Favre.   You can't help but wonder if it will ever be along the lines of the "Great ...
