According to the Associated Press, the Cleveland Browns have traded acquired center Lennie Friedman from the Chicago Bears in exchange for a conditional pick in next year's draft. He will back up Ross Tucker. Does this improve the Browns dismal offensive line situation at all? Somehow, I have my doubts...

What makes you doubtful Lefty? Honestly im not all that familair with Friedman but whats on your mind?

Well, its nothing against Friedman personally -- he may not be a half-bad center. But they just won't be able to replace LeCharles Bentley, no matter how hard they try. He was Cleveland's big free agent signing and he was going to anchor that line; you could pretty much feel the air go out of the team once he went down.

The Hallen retirement and the other kid getting busted for violation the substance abuse policy were just the icing on the proverbial cake. Tucker's a convered guard, if I remember correctly, and he's currently penciled in as the starting center. The end result is going to be lots of snap-exchange fumbles, and Charlie Frye's uniform getting awful dirty this season.

Worse curse: Jets or Browns? Its beginning to look like the Browns.
