I haven't read that particular book, so I'll have to track it down. I've read a ton about PB otherwise though. He was definitely one of the great football minds and true innovators the sport has ever known. He's arguably the greatest football coach ever, but rarely even gets mentioned with the greats. He was an outstanding high school coach, then did great things at Ohio State in just three years, before building the Browns dynasty. Counting the national championship at OSU, he led teams to 8 championships in 12 years. No other coach has ever come close to matching that accomplishment, and likely never will. Vince Lombardi's 5 championships in 8 years is a distant second.

Too bad Randy Lerner's "passion" for soccer didn't translate into an MLS team for Cleveland. I think Aston Villa fans would argue that Lerner's real passion is hobnobbing with the jet set owners of the EPL rather than any real passion for soccer.
Having lived in NE Ohio most of my life, I've had my share of run ins with Browns fans, but most of my friends are Browns fans too. Many of them are often too optimistic about the Browns, but there are a fair share who are realistic about the Browns' chances. We can also commiserate about years of bad football and how we share a dislike for the Steelers. We also like to get on the case of the inordinate amount of Steelers fans in NE Ohio. It used to be just transplants from Western PA and West Virginia, but unfortunately the Steelers gained quite a few fans around here in the mid to late 90s when the Browns were gone and the Bengals were terrible.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
Bengals on the board first with some good running and good blocking.

On the bright side, Kevin Huber is averaging 65.5 yards per punt.
What... the hell... was that?

Speaking of punts ... nice throw, Andy.
We're not going very far with Dalton. That was evident earlier this season and that throw just reconfirmed it.

Facing the worst pass defense in the league, Andy Dalton has a QB Rating of 16.7. I don't know what kind of mind-altering PEDs he was taking in October, but he needs to re-up his prescription.
