The Browns have a defense?

So this morning I wake up. I turn on crappy over-the-air broadcast TV. I have my morning ritual of tea (for the vocal cords) and Wheaties (Breakfast of the Unemployed Broadcaster). After I scratch my groin for a few minutes I receive a text. It's from my buddy and Cowboy fan Ed. Apart from talking to him while he suicidally watched the Cardinals win on Sunday he was uplifted by last night's game. Side note: A game I cannot see because of my lack of cable. Thank you ESPN... f*cking bastards!

The text read:

"When did the Browns learn how to play football? A big thank you to whoever taught them."

Yes the once Mighty Cleveland Browns beat the New York football Giants. This will end my APB for their defenses return.

Browns to win Super Bowl? (said with exaggerated upward inflection)

I guess Furcal is not that hurt.

So while watching Game 4 of the NLCS, I thought for a second... man this Furcal guy is pretty good. He had this nagging back all year, was on the roster, off the roster, had rehab, rehab failed, had surgery then begged Torre to put him on the roster.

Wow, talk about having a questionable decision work out so well. Furcal is magic right now for the Dodgers. Apart from blowing that throw in Game 1 to let Victorino on base and ultimately tie the game on the Utley home run, Furcal has been the most dangerous player on the LA team. Well, this Manny guy, who Boston fans should not whine about, is tearing the cover off of baseball and Jamie Moyer's life. Regardless, Furcal is that spark plug player that Philadelphia has in Jimmy Rollins.

Speaking of Rollins, has anyone seen him. He entered last night with nothing to show for and finally relaxed and opened up on a few pitches.

If Furcal keeps playing like this and the Dodgers go all the way, I would see him as a dark horse to win the MVP.
