John's Bio

Growing up in northwest Ohio, I've been a life-long Browns fan. My first vivid memory of the team is Eric Metcalf's electric performance against Pittsburgh, returning two punts for scores to beat the hated rival. When the Browns were moved out of Cleveland, my family and I stayed loyal to the Browns while many converted to Lions, Cowboys, and even Steelers fans. I spent my college years at the University of Cincinnati, unfortunately during the fluke year they won the division crown. In closing, I've heard it all when it comes to the jokes and insults that come with being a Browns fan, but its only made my loyalty stronger.

I am surprised by the number of people who actually want to reserve the right to bad-mouth their teams! I offer constructive criticism, of course, but one in particular wants to be able to say, "they suck," if they do.

I don't get it. Will YOU take the pledge?

Peyton Manning's 2004 season was better than Tom Brady's 2007 season. Want to know why? The Indianapolis Colts Round-Table is at it again...

We put a lot of effort into this one and hope to earn your POTD vote. Hope you enjoy the article!

hey hows the mock draft going?
by Matt

Hey John,

If it is possible to pick DE Maybin instead of the WR from Missouri in the mock draft? I had them as my one and two of the players avalible and with the signing of T.O. today by Buffalo, my pick doesn't apply any longer. If not that's fine too, seeing as that will most likely mess up the whole draft.

Thanks,
Matt

Hey John,
Thanks for the read and edit, but I know Joe J was on the IR. That's the point I was making.

Hey John,

I will definitely do the Bills pick for you. I sent over an e-mail, I'm not sure if you got it not or yet.

Here's my address in case it didn't get through (or I entered the wrong e-mail address): buffbillsfan517@yahoo.com.

Thanks again.
