First Sunday that I am watching the game in a while... and it's the LIONS. First pass is up top, nice grab. Mangenius should coach this game as if it were his last. Go for it on 4th down, fake punts, etc. Why not? Pretend like having entertainment for your fans matters since imitating Lombardi without having the players is just boring.

In a statement, the Browns said: "Cleveland Browns general manager George Kokinis is no longer actively involved with the organization. In response to rumors and reports that Kokinis was escorted out of the building today, the Browns deny those reports. In the interest of protecting the parties involved we will withhold further comment."

Peter King: "I don't know what Randy Lerner will accomplish in Cleveland by adding another layer to his front office and coaching staff, unless it's to take the authority away from Eric Mangini."

"I can't believe how bad the Browns looked in Baltimore. As Olbermann said, "Tackling was optional.'' When I picked Cleveland to go 2-14 in SI before the season, my reasons were simple: The Browns don't have a quarterback, don't have an offensive weapon who scares a defensive coordinator, and don't have a defensive player (except maybe Shaun Rogers) who you have to gameplan around. Nothing's changed. What's sad is the Browns aren't in better shape for the future than they were as an expansion team in 1999." Peter King.

Tweet from Joe Posanski, award-winning columnist and blogmonster extraordinaire: "Another one of those fan maybe-overstatement-maybe-not thoughts: Eric Mangini was the worst NFL head coach hire in 25 years." For a column from Joe on the subject at SI, Mangini: Worst coaching hire ever?. Enjoy!.

Destroyed in Baltimore. The quarterbacks performance again proves the veracity of the old George Young quip that under normal conditions if a team says it has two quarterbacks, then they usually have none. It's week three and the team rolled over. Mangenius looks like the coach that merited a kick to the curb by the Jets. A long, long season is ahead for Cleveland fans. After a week of autumn, the team is ready for hibernation. Lucky for me, I just took some allergy medicine and will easily fall asleep. Sweet dreams, Messieurs Lerner and Mangini.

Denver 27 Cleveland 6. The Peter King Memorial Stats That May Only Interest Me: Denevr edges the Browns in total yards: 449-200, Sacks: Denver 4, Cleveland 0, Quinn's quarterback rating: 58.7, Lewis: 38 yards on 14 carries, after two weeks Cleveland has 1 TD on offense.

Is the season over yet?

I was wrong. Peterson only rushed for 180 yards. It's official - the coach is a Mangenius! There is no spark inside any Browns fan that I know. Blackouts are coming if the team doesn't get a victory soon. I taped the game and haven't had the stomach to review the game. Where have you gone, Paul Brown?

Looks like Quinn will be the starter. Congrats to Mangini for sucking all the interest out of the preseason with the ridiculous hidden QB trick. Let's see if this strategy will prevent fans from realizing that Adrian Peterson will rush for 200+ yards. Unlikely.

Early 2009 prediction: "This year I'm saying they're the worst team again" Peter King.

On the first day of free agency, the Browns traded TE Kellen Winslow, arguably their best player since coming back from NFL limbo.

New GM Kokinis: "The Cleveland Browns thank Kellen for his contributions to this organization over the past five years. We appreciate his passion for the game and wish him success in Tampa Bay. The draft picks we have obtained through this deal will give us greater flexibility as we look to infuse more talent and create competition and depth on this football team."
