Our own Bernie Dawkins already has a great post regarding Jim Brown’s letter to the Cleveland Browns organization, including the full letter itself, but I wanted to chime in with a few brief thoughts of my own:
The Ring of Honor ceremony that the Browns are putting together is meant to pay tribute to some of the best players in team history. While just about anyone in that Ring of Honor would be honored to just be considered for such a thing, Browns legend Jim Brown saw the nomination another way. Though some of his anger stems from the fact that [...]

Thanks to some shoddy journalism by The New York Times, Cleveland fans get to once again relive the insanity that is former wide receiver Braylon Edwards. In an interview with the Times, Edwards ripped on Cleveland and the Browns organization once again, making claims such as this:
“There’s nothing going on in Cleveland. There’s no real estate. There’s no social life, no social networking. All the people who have something going on leave Cleveland. So Cleveland has nothing, and I came in there with a New York-type of essence. So what? That was the attitude I came in with. Like, this [...]

‘Twas the night before training camp, and all through the city,
Not many Cleveland sports fans were sleeping, ‘cuz most were probably out getting sh**ty.
I was one of the few that was home in my bed,
With visions of the upcoming Browns season filling my head.
I saw the Walrus in a ‘kerchief, and Mangini in a cap,
Just settling down for what appeared to be a final pre-training camp rap.
“Now, Eric, you impressed me with that late season run,
But the Walrus goes to Super Bowls,
5-11 seasons won’t get it done.
Eight games you have to prove yourself to me, maybe less,
If those men aren’t [...]

It’s July. LeBron is gone. The Indians are in last place. Browns training camp is around the corner but sadly, not here just yet.
If this were an episode of The Wire this is where officers Prez and Freamon regroup and sift through endless tape recordings, photos, and pages of financial records searching for any pattern that will lead them to the Barksdale gang’s next move. Nothing else to do when the wire is dead.
Sadly in this scenario the best metaphor I could come up for myself was the role of Prez (I’ll try to be Batman in my next one).
My solution [...]

Last night, Josh Cribbs took to his Twitter account and posted a beautifully photoshopped poster, one which would replace the “Witness” one currently accross from the “Q”.

Now, I could really support something like that going up!  How about everyone else? Be sure to share your feelings.

ESPN has recently been rolling out the player rankings for this years’ version of Madden.  Today was finally the Browns’ chance to be revealed.
There are only three members of this season’s team who received a 90 or higher, and they are Joe Thomas (95), Shaun Rogers (93), and Eric Steinbach (91).

Other positions to note are the receivers, where Ben Watson and Josh Cribbs are the highest rated with both getting a 78 overall.  Lawrence Vickers was the top running back with a rating of 88 followed by Jerome Harrison who received an 83.
On the defensive side of the ball only three [...]

The impending NBA free agency set to begin later this week has got me thinking.  Now, you’re probably asking yourself, “Why does this matter to a Browns blog?” Just follow me here…
Unless you have been living under a rock or have been avoiding ESPN the past month, then I’m sure you have heard about the NBA free agent class of 2010.  The cream of the crop has to be Ohio’s own LeBron James, and there are a bevy of other great free agents available too. LeBron is basically holding both the city of Cleveland and the Cavaliers hostage by not [...]

As the title suggests, we are in fact looking to expand our editorial staff here at Dawg Pound Daily. We are looking to add 1-2 new staff writers to the site who want to cover anything and everything Cleveland Browns. The best candidates would be those who exhibit a strong writing ability and have a great passion for the team and the sport.
The position is not paid, but you will certainly gain a lot of exposure, as you will be sharing your views on the Cleveland Browns and the NFL with a large audience. Because the position is not paid, [...]

That’s right, the same guy you see riding around on a horse in those Old Spice commercials was once a Cleveland Brown, back in 1999.  Isaiah Mustafa – that’s his real name – also played for the Tennessee Oilers (talk about a throwback) in 1998, the Oakland Raiders in 1999, and the Seattle Seahawks in 2000.

In a recent interview with the Detroit Free Press, former scUM and Browns WR Braylon Edwards told the reporter that he’s got two games already circled on his calendar, the first being the November 7th match-up against the Lions:
I’m excited to play back home.  It’ll be fun because I have so much family here that supports me.  So I can’t wait for them to get a chance to come to the game.
Fair enough, right? Well, it gets better, because as we all know Braylon just doesn’t know when to shut up.
Seven days later is the game I’m worried about, we go to [...]
