Grass Roots Movement

The Cowher09 website currently has 9,420 signatures on a petition to Randy Lerner to hire Bill Cowher. What bothers me about this is that these Cowher lovers will actually believe they made it happen if the Browns do hire Cowher. This group handed out 500 signs in the muni - lot on Sunday - like the one pictured - and the petition they have going reads as follows:

To: The Cleveland Browns Organization / Randy Lerner

We, the undersigned fans, would like to express our passion. We are both passionately proud and passionately angry. We are especially angry with the current state of our team, in particular its coaching. We demand that you seriously consider bringing in retired head coach Bill Cowher to take over the Cleveland Browns starting with the 2009 season. We have followed the Cleveland Browns with undying loyalty through the good and the bad. Some of us are young children and some of us have been season ticket holders for decades. Although most of us are armchair quarterbacks, we are still the ones who fill the seats and foot your bills. Coach Cowher has the resume and passion to lead our team back to prominence. For the sake of Cleveland’s forever-loyal fans, consider this petition.



Sincerely,



...where were these guys when the Browns hired Bud Carson over Bill Cowher in the early 90's?

Around The Blogosphere: Part I

In the first of a series of posts, known as Around the Blogosphere, Shaver Sports brings you the pictures posted today on Yahoo Sports' Shutdown Corner's Sunday Scrapbook . The shirts aren't really that funny, but face of the guy in the gray shirt is, and so are the earmuffs worn by the guy on the far left. Its only a matter of time for the coach formerly known as RAC.

Also abuzz are LeBron's retaliatory comments directed towards 'He's Turrible' himself, Chuck Barkley. NBA Fanhouse is posting in support of LeBron calling Charles Barkley stupid. This should come as no suprise to anyone who has ever heard Charles Barkley speak. He is stupid. LeBron wouldn't talk about becoming a Free Agent if the national media didn't ask him about it -every, single, day...what do you want him to say Chuck??
