This news is actually a little more than a week old, but I just saw it. Charlie Frye has been named Cleveland's starting quarterback, which you care about because of the high probability that the Browns will be bad enough to give the Cowboys a top-five pick in next season's draft.


Oh, one minor detail: WR Braylon Edwards was the one who made and announced this decision.


"I want to go on record. Charlie is our guy,'' Edwards told the Akron Beacon-Journal.


I always thought a receiver should have at least one 1,000-yard season before declaring that a first-round pick can rot on the bench. I'm sure Brady Quinn appreciated the vote of confidence.

You know... I though I ran across the kid Brady Quinn at the Airport in Dayton Ohio...there was this guy there at one of the restaurants that looked like him...and he had two other guys that looked like players discussing some kinda practice with one of those jug machines that shoots the balls at the receivers...Didn't want to interupt...anyone know where Quinn is these days?

I would have gone with an off the wall comment...like, "man can you preach the way you sack QBs?...give me a chapter and verse preacher man"...see, like acknowledge the fact that the man did more than rush QBs...but who knows, he could have stared me down...

he is a very intimidating man in person ......... very very large man

Yeah...I know what you mean...it all sounds good on the keyboard, but one on one is a different story...

[simple simon]

he just walked past us and smiled and nodded and walked out the door to his RV

maybe he was happy to be in public at peace

[MJHMarc]

He was giving you a nod to get out his way!

Im sure hes right, they will start charlie and pull him out after 3 games.. makes sense, they want quinn in there but will give charlie his due in 3 games which he will not be spectacular in..
