From the Corner Office of Top Men

Browns Rumors

*The Browns are actively shopping Derek Anderson, with the current asking price a 2nd rounder or two 3rds.

*Cleveland will be in the market for a veteran backup QB/Quinn mentor to replace recently cut and soon to be retired Ken Dorsey.

*They also looking to add a power back and would throw tons of money at Brandon Jacobs. Jamal Lewis will not be back. Another possibility is Larry Johnson. KC is looking to trade him, or more likely will release him due to his high salary.

Indians/MLB Talk

*Former Indian Robbie Alomar is being sued for 15 million for having unprotected sex with his girlfriend after being diagnosed with AIDS. The only person excited about this news is A-Fraud.

* What 2 things do all of these players have in common: Jose Canseco, ARod, Rafael Palmerio, Sammy Sosa (allegedly), John Rocker, Juan Gonzalez, Ken Caminiti, Ismael Valdez? They all spent time in the Texas organization and are all connected to steroids. Canseco planted the seed in his book, and little by little he is being proven correct.

*Hmmm..That gets Top Men thinking...Who else spent time in Texas? None other that Travis Hafner. I'm not saying, I'm just saying....

*Speaking of Jose Canseco, he has sent a letter to Union head Donald Fehr and Commish Bud Selig to "help baseball take additional strides in getting beyond the negativity of performance-enhancing drugs" I am sure this is just what Bud wants. The self-proclaimed "Godfather of Steroids" in baseball helping clean up the game.

*Top Men frequently take time out of their busy schedule to contribute to Shaver Sports.

Why Are Steroids All The Rage?

I am about done with hearing about steroids. Seriously, I don't care. I don't care that Clemens took them, I don't care that Bonds took them, I don't care that McGwire took them, and I really don't care that Madonna's Boyfriend took them either. Memo to nerds like Buster Olney: everyone took steroids pal, story's over. It would have been interesting if you and Gammons and Kurkian broke this news 15 years ago, but breaking these stories now is like me breaking the news that Cleveland's economy is a little down at the moment...everyone knows that already. What's more, I think that Baseball writers talk about steroids in baseball because it is the most compelling story in the sport - unfortunately. Steroids in baseball sells newspapers, it makes headlines, and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays beating out financial empires like the Yankees and Red Sox to win their division just don't. Shawne Merriman took steroids and he went to the Pro Bowl that year. Bonds took 'roids and he might go to jail. This whole thing is just ridiculous, and I am sick of hearing about it.
