[White a #1 draft choice?????]

	As a long time Browns fan (I know, I know...) I would like
to be the first to suggest that "Sam the Man" should not be fired. 
He should be tarred and feathered, shot in the foot, slapped around
a bit, then fired!!!  (Does it sound like I'm enjoying the Browns
season so far?)  The Browns for some time now have had a fairly, if
not very talented team, speaking from a personnel point of view. 
(Good receivers, great linebackers, some running backs...)  All the
blame should be on Sam's shoulders.  Let's look at some of his
"great" decisions.

	How about the intercepted pass play (in lue of a 'unsure'
field goal attempt) in the Browns/Raiders Ice Bowl?  How about
drafting Charlie White number 1?  (Should have drafted his offensive
line.)  How about never letting Brian Sipe (a smart quaterback) call
his own plays?  (Do you know how many delay of game penalties were
caused by not getting the signals from the bench?)  How about
finding the number 1 receiver in a car wreck at 3:00AM?  And then
blaming the loss to the Seahawks on the fact that he wasn't there to
take the pressure off of Ozzie?  Or how about running Mike Pruit in
a one running back offense?  (I mean, he's a good (semi-great?)
running back, but he'd need a better line for a one back offense.)

	I hate to say it, but around here us Clevelanders are
starting to call the team "The Cleveland Clowns"...
