Displaced Cleveland Fan

Day 1 of the NFL draft for the Browns was… interesting. I’ve seen a lot of chatter online about how awful these picks were. But I think this is mostly just hyped-up overreacting.

Here are the newest Cleveland Browns:

Alex Mack - C (California)

This seemed like a bizarre pick. First, the Browns traded out of the 5th spot where the Jets took Mark Sanchez. They then had the 17th pick. They traded down to the 19th. Then traded down again to the 21st where they drafted Mack.

Honestly, by this point, I was hoping they would take Chris Wells. Maybe not the best pick, but it’d be great to root for the Buckeye star in Cleveland. This really would have been unlikely. I expected them to add either a defensive lineman or a linebacker. Instead, they picked a center.

Tonight in New Orleans, contrary to everyone’s expectations (at least everyone outside of the state of Utah), the Utah Utes beat Alabama 31-17 to finish the season undefeated, 13-0.

This game represents what is so great and what is so bad about college football.

No comment.

Thankfully though, this dreadful season is over. I’ll have more to say about all of that later.

Thankfully this game was not televised here.

How bad was this game? (more…)

What can you say?

If there was ever any question of which team would win this game, it should have been apparent after the first two drives. Philadelphia drove 64 yards for a touchdown. Cleveland drove 63 yards, down to the Eagles’ 9 yard line, and had to settle for a field goal.
