Today, showed how bad the Browns really are. Especially on a day where Oakland, Buffalo and Kansas City won. Saint Louis and Tampa Bay played close today, as well. Today, the Browns were Detroit Lions and Tennessee Titans bad.

Where do you start?

Offense gains only 197 yards.

Solomon Wilcots bringing down partner Kevin Harlan on CBS with inane comments. "The Wildcat is a welcome addition to the Browns running game" completely ignoring 120-yard rushers the previous two weeks. On the Browns third drive, Cribbs takes the first 4 snaps. Next play, Derek Anderson scrambles and pitches back to Jerome Harrison. Wilcots: "This is an example of what the Browns like to see in Anderson, controlling the game...". Hey, Solomon, he was such a minute part of the offense at that point. Sheesh!

Then, on the next play, Cribbs stares down a receiver like most of the Browns 2.0 version quarterbacks and throws a redzone interception. Unacceptable.

Stellar defense, men. They gave up 543 yards.

Steelers have now won 12 straight over the Browns.

Derek Anderson's QB rating today? 51.1.

If not for an interception and fumble by the Steelers in the third quarter and Cribbs kickoff return in the second quarter, this would have been even uglier.

Oh, it stunk. Steelers win, 27-14.

The Monty Python barrage starts today in honor of their 40th anniversary. Some of their stuff I really like, as in (one where Eric Idle absolutely kills me)...

Fun with Milk. Hey, I don't get why either.

Catching up with Ewan McGregor. More likely to be recognized for his bike riding than acting, he claims.

What the hell is with balloons lately? In the EPL yesterday, Sunderland beat Arsenal, 1-0, because a kid punched a balloon onto the pitch. Where it was conveniently placed so Darren Bent fired a shot off it for the winning goal. Now, it was in the first 5 minutes of the game, but still.
