The time between mini camp and training camp has become pretty boring for us Browns fans. Not much to write about. Not much happening. It hasn’t always been that way.

I just worked nine hours. Training a new girl for the warehouse is tiresome, but at least she's smart and seems to want to learn about the product.

Each offseason, a litany of moves are made and even more are rumored. Often, teams that are close to reaching their potential gamble on adding one more player to put them over the top.
