Short format once again, because I got way behind on what I was gonna do today. Hey, the Browns looked pretty good against the Colts. I am not your typical the "refs cost us the game" kind of guy, but there were some really strange calls that went against us.

I've looked at that block-in-the-back call that Frisman Jackson got nailed with. The pisser was that Dennis Northcutt had his second punt return for a TD called back. Twice in three weeks. Arrrrgh. But, it appeared to me that Frisman held up and barely touched the guy. Maybe there was something I missed, but I thought the call was questionable.

The taunting call on Antonio Bryant after a first down catch was, I felt, horrible. Sure, he probably barked at the guy, but the replay indicates although he may have shown the ball to the defender, he flips the ball TO THE REF! But, no, he gets nailed with an unsportsmanlike call. WTF? We did keep the first down, but got backed up 15 yards.

But it appears that Browns Version 2.2 (Palmer 2.0, Davis 2.1, Robiskie 2.1.1) is gonna play hard for 60 minutes. Quite frankly, that is a major upgrade from the previous regimes. Very enjoyable game today, with not a lot of points by either club. We really didn't have that many yards either, but they hung in there. A very physical game.

At least it wasn't as bad as Grady Sizemore dropping that ball against the Royals. Man, are things getting tight. Saw the White Sox game on INHD and Buehrle threw a helluva game. The Sox (both Boston and Chicago) may have revived themselves this weekend, when both teams appeared to be going down in flames.

We cannot afford to stumble against the Devil Rays.

None, it's Sunday.
