When wide receiver Terrell Owens signed with the Cincinnati Bengals in July, the first thing that comes to most football fans minds are how good will the duo of Owens and Chad Ochocinco be? Can they keep their egos in check? Can Carson Palmer spread the ball around to keep both happy?
Cleveland Browns cornerback Brandon McDonald had another opinion on T.O. signing with the Bengals, which you can read below:
Tell us how you really feel Brandon.
Well, I had the chance Sunday morning to ask Owens about the McDonald comment and just overall players running their mouths on Twitter. This is what he had to say:
We all know that Owens knows who McDonald is. And you can say Owens it taking the high road in this one, but not without at least throwing one little jab at McDonald.
The Browns play the Bengals twice (October 3 and December 19). I’m sure there will be some trash-talking leading up to the game, but in all honestly, who wants to be compared to Ronald McDonald?

Cleveland Browns KR/PR/WR spoke to the media during halftime of the Cleveland Gladiators arena football game at Quicken Loans Arena. He has been proclaimed the “new” King of Cleveland since LeBron James bolted to Miami. Funny thing is, this interview took place right outside of the Cavaliers locker room, where the “old” King used to get dressed for games.

“The Dugout Sports Show” was live from Ganley Volkswagen/Subaru in Bedford, Ohio on May 15th and Tony Mazur I discussed the end of the Cleveland Cavaliers season. We also had CHRIS BALLARD from Sports Illustrated on the show to discuss his latest article on Shaquille O’Neal.
Most of the show was on the end of an era in Cleveland Cavalier basketball, the prospect of LeBron James leaving Cleveland, Cleveland Indians baseball, and a whole potpourri of sports stories.
“The Dugout Sports Show” is live every Saturday from 11am-1pm ET at Ganley Volkswagen/Subaru in Bedford, Ohio.
Tony, Brendan, and I hit on Cavs/Celtics, the Indians, the Browns draft and other miscellanous sports stories, that included a baseball player passing a kidney stone during a game. Ouch. Hopefully listening to this show can’t compare to that. Enjoy!

Your Newest Cleveland Brown, Joe Haden, CB from the University of Florida.
Joe Haden, CB - 7th Selection, 1st Round - Cleveland Browns University of Florida
Biography: Three-year starter awarded varying degrees of All-American and All-Conference honors since his freshman season. Junior totals included 68/4/10 after 87/3/12 as a sophomore. He began his college career posting 63/1/12 as a freshman.
Positives: Lock-down cornerback with a complete game. Displays a physical nature to his game, jams receivers at the line of scrimmage, and quick up the field defending the run. Fluid turning his hips to transition off the line, smooth pedaling in reverse, and displays good route recognition. Quickly locates the ball in the air, possesses a nice move to the throw, and solid awareness. Rarely off his feet, explosive at the point and a solid open field tackler. Forceful up the field on the blitz. Works well with works well with safeties. Helps out on special teams, making tackles on coverage units.
Negatives: Lacks the explosive burst out of his plant to the ball. Does not possess top end speed. Ran poorly during the combine.
Analysis: Haden has been a terrific college cornerback and projects well to the next level. He possesses the physical skills and football fundamentals to quickly break into a starting lineup, and he has all the tools to be a number one cornerback for an NFL team.

The Cleveland Browns selected Florida corner JOE HADEN with their 7th pick in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Below is a video from Cleveland Browns Stadium showing fans (insert sarcastic tone) exploding with joy with the pick. I think I counted four people clapping. Let’s hope Haden proves his worth.

The Browns will kick off the 2010 regular season on Sunday, September 12 in the Sunshine State when they travel to Raymond James Stadium to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 1:00 p.m. The contest snaps an 11-year streak of season openers at home, dating back to the team’s return in 1999.
Cleveland will conclude its season with three consecutive AFC North division battles for the first time since 1984. The club will close out the season with back-to-back home contests for the second straight season and the sixth time in club history.
“Opening the season in the heat and humidity of Tampa Bay emphasizes the importance of our team being in peak condition coming out of training camp,” said Browns Head Coach Eric Mangini. “We have a challenging stretch towards the end of the year with four of five games on the road, and I expect our team to show the same resiliency as they did at the end of last season. I feel as though having our last three games against divisional opponents, including the final two at home, is a great feature for our fans, and I look forward to their tremendous support once again in 2010.”
In 2010, Cleveland will face all three Florida franchises on the road. It will mark the first time since 1987 that the Browns will play three teams from the same state on the road. That year, they faced the Los Angeles Raiders, San Francisco 49ers and San Diego Chargers.
For the third consecutive season, the Browns will face the defending Super Bowl champions, when they meet the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, October 24, at 1:00 p.m. ET (Noon CT) at the Louisiana Superdome.
Cleveland opens the home portion of its schedule on Sunday, September 19, as they welcome the Kansas City Chiefs to Cleveland Browns Stadium. Following a trip to Baltimore (September 26), the Browns play four of their next six contests at home, with matchups against Cincinnati (October 3), Atlanta (October 10), New England (November 7) and the New York Jets (November 14). The Browns will hit the road for three consecutive weeks for the first time since 2001 when they face Miami (December 5), Buffalo (December 12) and Cincinnati (December 19).
The combined record of the Browns’ 13 opponents this year was 104-104 in 2009. The eight teams that will visit Cleveland Browns Stadium posted a record of 68-60, and their eight road opponents went a combined 64-64. Cleveland will face five teams that qualified for the playoffs in 2009, for a total of seven games against 2009 playoff teams (Bengals, Ravens twice each).
Also today, the Browns announced the dates and times of their 2010 preseason schedule, which consists of home contests against St. Louis (Saturday, August 21) and Chicago (Thursday, September 2), and road games against Green Bay (Saturday, August 14) and Detroit (Saturday, August 28).

The Boston Celtics are aging before our very eyes. While the core of that 2008 championship team is still on the roster, the Celtics seemed to have dropped off the planet. It didn’t help matters that Sunday’s game was scheduled at Quicken Loans Arena.
The Cleveland Cavaliers took great enjoyment in beating their Eastern Conference foes, 104-93, in front of a nationally-televised audience. Much like their last matchup in February, the Cavaliers toyed with the Celtics for three quarters, then gave them the business in the fourth. (more…)

This is from Michael David Smith at ProFootball Talk:
Brady Quinn is on the way to Denver.
Jay Glazer of Fox Sports is reporting that Quinn was just traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Denver Broncos in exchange for Peyton Hillis and two conditional draft picks.
We’ve known since the Browns acquired quarterbacks Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhomme that Quinn was on the way out, and now we know that he’s gone.
The question now is whether he’ll be the starter in Denver.

Same face, new place: Eddie House went from first place with the Boston Celtics to a bad New York Knicks team. (Photo: NBA.com)
I had the chance to interview New York Knicks guard EDDIE HOUSE after Knicks/Cleveland Cavaliers game Monday night. I asked him about his mentality playing for the Boston Celtics then bring traded to the Knicks, what do you say as a veteran player to a team that gets beat that bad, and also the Celtics tribute to him in Boston the other night.
House, who always seems to kill the Cavaliers, finished with only two points on 1-for-8 shooting and 2 assists. He went 0-for-4 from 3-point range. He is averaging 9.8 points a game for the Knicks in six games.
