Monday Roundup: Trashy Best Edition
Stuff from all over today, as we channel our inner Eric Mangini and begin to pick through the NFL scrap heap, searching for that next hidden gem. Or eponymous fourth cornerback. Either way. And speaking of digging....friend of Reboot Land Loyalty was doing some major picking over the weekend - at least when they asked me for my thoughts [...]
Sunday Best: Temporarily Final Edition
The Turk arrived a bit late in Berea, as the Browns were one of the last teams in the league to announce their "final" roster cuts - which of course, are anything but final. Just ask Titus Brown. Or the guy who eventually takes his roster spot. Anyway, nonetheless, a few surprises were had.... (more...)
The Game
The following is the latest from Reboot contributor Brian Heise.... “A love for tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril.” -Winston Churchill Tradition. Webster’s defines it as an inherited, [...]
The Evening After: Browns-Bears Edition
Slower than the realization that Montario Hardesty is a lock for future induction in the Ghosts of Browns Running Back Potential, it's time to reflect on the game that was - or wasn't, depending on your perspective. And in a tribute fitting a game completely void of any meaning - unless you're James Davis - let's go to the [...]
For What It’s Worth: Browns-Bears Preview
While I am completely against the idea of the NFL expanding to an 18-game schedule, moments like tonight all but cement the logic involved in such a process. Despite the overwhelming motivation the league has to continue to suck every last dollar out of fans - the meaningless of the fourth preseason game of the year will ultimately lead to this [...]
Wednesday Roundup: Reader Feedback Edition
Perhaps the biggest payoff of this site comes in the form of receiving some truly genuine and thoughtful reader comments.

Which as everyone knows [...]
Tuesday Roundup: Nearly Factual Edition
Stuff from all over the Inter-Webs today, as we check in on a living legend, another who has just risen to Twitter fame and the general lifeblood of this very site. First, regarding our favorite "mascot", here's this... (more...)
Monday Roundup: Tall Tales Edition
One of the most unintentionally funny stories of the NFL offseason revolved around the alleged on-field revival of Donte Stallworth....or as Browns fans will remember him as - the guy who barely played in 2008. Anyway, most of the offseason narrative regarding Stallworth dealt with the sudden resurgence of his skills. Remember that he [...]
The Morning After: Browns-Lions Edition
The unofficial end of the preseason has arrived, with our Browns continuing to add to an August narrative that has been at times intriguing, inspiring and inconclusive. In fact, the book of the preseason has featured a few distinct chapters.... 1. A Jake Delhomme-led offense has acheived levels of consistency and competence - the likes of [...]
Browns-Lions Preview
In a football-starved universe - particularly in a place such as Cleveland, Ohio - the third August game of the year takes on a being that completely deflates inane arguments regarding the length of the exhibition season. After all, what is preseason football for, other than to give us all an opportunity to project greatness - or at least [...]
