About Doug »

I'm 31 years old, live in Columbus, Ohio and work for the Ohio State University Medical Center. I became a huge Buckeye football fan when I followed them during the 2002 season and haven't left. I grew up in a Cleveland Browns household, watching Bernie Kosar, Webster Slaughter and Ozzie Newsome. This year, however, I have renounced the very team I loved when I was a boy. I think every football fan has the right and moral duty to divorce his or her team if that team becomes an insult to the sport. The Cleveland Browns have certainly become that. I love football most of all. I never put on a helmet and pads, but I'm great at observing and analyzing. I think I have great insight to my favorite teams, but probably am the only one who thinks so.

    No cause for alarm regarding Mack, esp. since he has to go up against Rogers all the time. Rogers is just so dominating, Mack will suffer in practices, but in the long run I can only see this improving Mack for the future.

    I am 90% sure that Mack will start for the Browns this year so no worries.

    Hey!

    Would you mind checking out my latest article? It talks about the 2009 super sophomores for the Ohio State buckeyes! If you're not a buckeye fan, it's an interesting read and you could extend you're knowledge on college football. Thanks!
