BEREA, Ohio -- Pro Bowl tight end Kellen Winslow appealed his one-game suspension for critical comments he made about the Cleveland Browns' handling of his hospitalization with a staph infection, the latest development in a bizarre back-and-forth squabble.
Winslow was suspended without pay by general manager Phil Savage on Tuesday for comments and behavior disparaging to the organization. Winslow was critical of Savage and said he only came forward to reveal he had staph -- for the second time -- out of concern for his teammates' health.
Denise White, a publicist with EAG Sports Management, said Winslow appealed the suspension and filed the appropriate paperwork with the NFL Players Association.
Union attorney Adam Kaiser will represent Winslow in an expedited grievance proceeding before an arbitrator in Cleveland on Friday or Saturday. If Winslow loses, he will sit out Sunday's game in Jacksonville and forfeit $235,294, his one-game paycheck. If Winslow wins, he could keep his money and Kaiser said it's possible the 25-year-old could be reinstated in time to play against the Jaguars.
Whatever the outcome, Browns coach Romeo Crennel feels Winslow's rift with the team can be fixed.

They already have in my opinion. They'll lose a decent player(eventually), and have lost all respect of the league and their fans. Shame, shame on'em.

aah Goth, do you by some chance have the wrong thread? We are talking about the Browns losing the grievance procedure in the matter of the suspension of Winslow because he complained about how the Browns handled his staph infection.
