The Browns and the Bengals still are the laughingstock of the league, more or less. The Bungles had a few good seasons, but when you play the Steelers and Ravens twice a year, you gotta be better than just good. They have a qb and two wideouts with Pro Bowl talent, but Palmer still looks gunshy from his injuries, Ocho Cinco couldn't spell team if you gave him a dictionary, and Housh is like Reggie Wayne.. An excellent #2, but not a top-flight #1.
And the Browns were a fluke. There's a reason they only gave Anderson a three year deal after his great year last season.. They can cut him loose after this year and not take a big hit on the salary cap and still have Quinn as a starter and under contract for three years or so. Think Don Majkowski and his few good years in GB, and then he comes to Detroit and (predictably) tanks.. or Scott Mitchell.. or any other free agent qb Detroit's tried to bring in. ...and yet, I still root for them.

Where would we be without the agitators of the world attaching the electrodes of knowledge to the nipples of ignorance?
