The Drive: Twenty Years Later

Not that you wanted or needed any reminding, but Thursday was the 20th anniversary of "The Drive". It was January 11, 1987 and the Browns were on the cusp of the Super Bowl for the first time in nearly 20 years. They had a star-studded offense led by a thinking man's quarterback, Bernie Kosar. The Broncos hadn't been to a Super Bowl since getting thrashed by the Dallas Cowboys 10 years beforehand. They had a no-name offense, save for Elway, who was a man ahead of his time. We all know the rest. Papa Cass looks back on this sad day for Cleveland sports fans.

Wherefore Art Thou Romeo?

No vote of confidence. Rumors springing up that the Browns plan to secretly woo Jim Tressel and Bill Cowher. If you ask just about any Browns fan, it's not a matter of if Romeo Crennel gets fired. It's a matter of when. In Papa Cass's latest, he says Romeo deserves better than the lame duck status he's been dealt. And that Browns fans are unrealistic if they expect a new coach to ride in on a white horse and provide a quick fix.

Hello, Columbus

Naturally, reports from Tony Grossi and Chris Spielman that Jim Tressel may have an eye on the Browns have created a buzz amongst both Browns and Buckeyes fans. We've run a couple stories saying why we think that it's at least feasible. Gary Benz says he's here to end the nonsense. Jim Tressel isn't going anywhere. And he's about to tell us why.

Don't Overplay Your Hand Browns Fans

As the Jim Tressel to Cleveland rumors continue to swirl, Furls chimes in with his thoughts on the topic. His take? Browns fans think that the Browns job is a little better than it really is. With this fan base, so hungry, so desperate, so anxious for a winner ... anyone that comes here isn't going to get a fair shake. Furls says the out clause in Tressel's contract is nothing but a negotiating chip, and there's no way The Sweater Vest leaves coaching utopia for Cleveland.

Making The Case

The NFL Draft is still almost four months away. But since when has that stopped us from talking NFL Draft? Shoot, we've been knee deep in it since late September. In my latest, I take a look at the seven players that are most likely to be the Browns next high first round draft choice. I try and make the case for all of them, explaining why each would make the most sense once the Browns go on the clock in late April.
