Which way is Cleveland? That way?

  • “Which way is Cleveland? That way?”

[Ed. Note: Welcome back Peter Rogie, sometime Scene contributor and Cleveland sports fan, who has some thoughts about Brad Childress.]

January usually brings colder temperatures to Cleveland, but it’s really going to get “Chilly” in Berea now that the former Vikings’ Head Coach is on board. (Ba dum tss.)

Alright, moving on.

While many columns and blog posts have decried the hire of Brad Childress, the move ought to be seen as nothing but positive news for Cleveland Browns fans. After a season where the Browns ranked near the bottom of the NFL in nearly every offensive category, the logical answer is that there is nowhere to go but up, so anyone would be an improvement.

However, there is one singular reason why Childress is the right guy for the job: We are now one: one unit, one vision, one goal.

Whether you agree with what that means or not is moot right now. The Browns have finally established an identity.

  1. “If you look at what he has done for Aston Villa”. What would that be, exactly? Oh, it all showed promise in the early couple of years, but now he has disappeared off the face of the earth over here too. He appointed a manager of the team who was from Villa’s most hated rivals and the fans can’t stand him. So that’s a poor example. try again.

  3. After Childress joins the Browns…
    1. Frequency of sex parties on the Goodtimes III increases 1000%.
    2. Browns QB inexplicably starts throwing ball into the stands on every sunny play due to sun glare reflecting off someone’s bald head. Browns fans admit passes are still better than those thrown by Derek Anderson
    3. A cohesive team where everyone gets along is further united due to their raging hatred of Childress, a strategy that Childress utilized with the Vikings to much succe…….er…….
    4. Anonymous coach tries to introduce the color purple into the Browns uniforms, replacing orange. Proposed new name of the Browns is the Brownurples. As a result, civil disorder in Cleveland, mayor flees in panic.

  4. After some time has passed…..I still don’t like Childress. He’s bald. And this picture makes him look fat. And stupid.
