Animal Thug



by Heartless James McNeil
Cleveland Browns at Detriot Lions
Sunday, Nov 22 1:00   Ford Field
LeBron James is looking for work in Cleveland. And I'm not talking about
the Caviliers either.

He'll be going to the New York Knicks(or anywhere else)next
year, while Jay-z writes his new theme song for his new victory dances. He
was quoted as saying that he was willing to play wide receiver for the ailing
Browns.

Not a bad idea, if he brings his 28 points a game to the field(the Browns
average 8.7 a game). Even Mangini liked the idea. Side note to Mangini;
start looking for another line of work.

Down to buisness. The Browns travel to Ford Field on Sunday to play
the Detriot Lions in the battle for a two win season. Some analyst might
look at this game as a coin flip, but the experts at xosolid.com(me)don't
quite think so.

As I stated earlier, the Browns average 8.7 points a game, ranked dead
last in the NFL. And the Lions don't fare too much better, ranked 26th,
with their 15.9. Which is more than enough to whip Cleveland. Last week,
Matt Stafford threw for 224 yards and a TD, but was sacked three times.
Probably because their O-line is ranked 29th in the league. Cleveland is
faring a little better with a 22nd ranking, which Quinn doesn't seem to be
taking advantage of.

Don't get me wrong. I think Brady Quinn is a beast. Well, a thug beast
anyway. A first round pick 3 years ago, Quinn was thought to become
a mover and shaker in the midst of some quality quarterback prospects.
But last week, against theRavens, he went 13-39 for 99 yards, with 2
picks. And some experts now question his arm strength. I might beg to
differ, the way he busted up Terrel Suggs' knee last Monday; a nasty
low block that might cost Suggs a lot of playing time.

One day Brady will be a great QB, just not this Sunday.

On defense, the Lions and the Browns are ranked 31st and 32nd,
respectfully. Please note that there are only 32 teams in the NFL.
Detroit should'nt have to worry about Cleveland's gimmick version
of the Wildcat offense. Cribbs was shook up a little last game,
and might be doubtful. Plus, the Lions defensive coodinators claim
they can shut down the Cat, like they claimed they did against Miami
in their last bout.

My last post about the Browns, I stated that poolers would'nt have to
worry about these dogs winning any games for the immediate future.
Right now, Las Vegas is giving Cleveland about 4 points on the spread.
I'd listen to them. Detroit wins.
