In fact I implied he single-handedly sunk the Browns' season, which may or may not be fair. Nevertheless, he statistically had a nice year, so he should be given the opportunity to lead the team again. Never did I say he was the Browns' savior. Whatever presumption "Mosh Pitt" was mentioning didn't come from me. <BR/><BR/>Furthermore, the "washed up" Jamal Lewis, while I will forever hate him for being a fantasy bust several seasons ago, had 12 fewer yards on 23 fewer attempts - AND 7 MORE TOUCHDOWNS - than "Fast Willie" Parker. Flush that argument down the "commode," son.<BR/><BR/>Regarding Stallworth, I said he would be a nice complement as a #3 option to the already unquestionably effective Winslow and Edwards. In fact, I think the moves on defense, particularly the pass rush, are more relevant, as that is the area in which the team most needed to improve. <BR/><BR/>It would be nice to see some degree of objectivity on this site but I guess since it's based in Pittsburgh it will always have an anti-Cleveland bias. On some level, I can appreciate that, because trust me, Cleveland fans hate you too. But come on Pittsburgh fans, you have to admit (or don't, I frankly don't care) that the Steelers are jettisoning rather vital components of their success and trending down, while the Browns are improving their team and trending up.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18175100683235588931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-10385130255505099632008-03-04T14:05:00.000-05:002008-03-04T14:05:00.000-05:00I love it when people from other teams come in her...I love it when people from other teams come in here and get all bent out of shape when Mondesi rips on their team on a COMEDY sports website.<BR/><BR/>Once again, emphasis on COMEDY!!<BR/><BR/>It's not like this is ESP-fucking-N writing this, it's Mondesi.<BR/><BR/>But some people don't really get the whole "humorous" part of this site so once again we get people coming in here just to have stupid "Steeler/Pitt fans are so dellusional!"-style sports arguements.

Because they lost on a last second field goal to the Jags in the play-offs (which you recognize as getting pounded)? Because they won a division they were picked to finish 3rd in? <BR/><BR/>You really think adding a mildly talented receiver (who made a living last year by catching Moss and Welker's run-off) is going to put the Brownies offense over the top? Oh, I forgot, they resigned a washed up RB too. DA has 1 good season under his belt. 1.

Nevertheless, the Browns missed the playoffs because the Colts rolled over and took it in the pooper against the Titans. (Tuesday Morning Quarterback would refer to the Colts' subsequent playoff demise as "failure to appease the football gods.") The Steelers, however, limped into the playoffs and proceeded to do absolutely nothing besides get pounded, meaning their season was as equally disappointing as the Browns'. No reasonable person would dispute that the Browns' season was a relative success, as compared with a relative failure by the Steelers. Note: Steeler fans are largely unreasonable.<BR/><BR/>The Browns followed up on their 2007 campaign by re-signing the aforementioned Derek Anderson and Jamal Lewis (who had a very respectable year), trading for Shawn Rogers and Corey Williams, and signing Donte Stallworth. In doing so, the Browns gave their admittedly shameful pass rush some muscle and gave D.A. a legitimate complement to the already dominant tandem of Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow, Jr. While Stallworth has not yet justified his high draft pick status, he is a legitimately talented burner.<BR/><BR/>What have the Steelers done so far? Well, congratulations, they've made Big Ben one of the highest paid players in the league (concurrently making Mondesi moist) while failing to deliver a payday to the only dependable component of the offensive line, who has moved on to "greener" pastures. Steeler fans, get used to watching Ben run for his life even more than he had to last season. He's going to have to WORK for that $102 million. <BR/><BR/>But let's not forget Mewelde Moore! Certain to be the savior of the Steelers' offense, Mewelde Moore is... well, he's pretty average; let's be honest. What's that you say, die hard Yinzer? He's a receiving threat out of the backfield? Well, go ahead and throw him a few screen passes, and see what happens! Cringe in fear at the ineptitude of the offensive line to solidly block. Furthermore, I can see it now... every pass thrown the way of Eminem will be another me-first complaint by an increasingly brooding, malcontent Whines Hard. Face it, Steeler fans -- your team has done nothing to improve thus far in the offseason.<BR/><BR/>A jaundiced Mondesi opines that the Browns are "desperately attempting to become relevant." I retort by saying that they have improved their team. What a concept. Perhaps if the Steelers loosened up the pursestrings on anyone other than Mondesi's walking erection, they might too have managed to improve their team, as opposed to regressing.<BR/><BR/>Last season is behind us and 2008 is before us. For Browns fans, there is a reason for optimism. The team went 10-6 with an admittedly porous defense. This year, the defense can do nothing BUT improve, and the already potent offense has added another viable weapon. Like it or not, Steeler fans, your seemingly endless stretch of dominance over the Browns WILL END this season. Deep down, you know it's true.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18175100683235588931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-20890423411867445192008-03-04T10:14:00.000-05:002008-03-04T10:14:00.000-05:00The Randy Moss deal is far more newsworthy than Be...The Randy Moss deal is far more newsworthy than Ben's, because Moss was a free agent and could have signed anywhere.
