Heard Reggie Rucker on the radio yesterday talking about the Browns bringing back Jim Brown. In this interview he absolutely ripped on Holmgren essentially calling him a "thief" who took advantage of Randy Lerner "setting the team back 4-5 years." Now I think Holmgren was a stooge but his hiring of Tom Heckert did NOT "set the franchise back 4-5 years." If anything, with the previous regimes cap management and recent drafting, I think they set Banner & Company up pretty nicely.

he's a thief in the sense he didn't earn the salary he was paid.

I think this is if Trent is not 100% no drills, if this was Sunday in the fall, he would be suited up.

He's fine. Just being blowed out of the water because it's what cleveland media and fans do.

ESPN says he'll sit out mini-camp "as a precaution."

Yeah, "a source" says it is a bone strain...never heard of it, but they said the same thing eventually caused that gruesome injury to that Louisville player in March.

Trent Richardson could be held out until August due to a leg injury.
Sources say there is fear that Richardson could sustain a more serious broken leg due to the structure of the leg. Richardson has also been having migraines.

Not particularly worried about Trent Richardson. Seems like maintenance approach to rest him, ensure he's 100%. Just #Browns being smart.

Hmm...conflicting reports.

Edit:
According to The Plain Dealer, Richardson suffered the injury when a teammate stepped on his shin in practice two weeks ago. How that happened without contact in OTAs is a good question. Barring a collision, players shouldn't be spending time on the ground.

The source explained that the team is being “ultra-cautious” with Richardson’s injury because they are worried it could develop into a stress fracture. The source cited Kevin Ware, the basketball player from Louisville whose leg snapped on a seemingly routine play, as the worst case scenario that this injury could develop into.

He probably fell and somebody running near him accidentally stepped on him. Leave it to the PD to try and speculate some bs.

Precautionary measures. He'll be fine for the season.

#Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger undergoes minor surgery on right knee http://apne.ws/16Kir1W
*Right knee" = rape muscle

Hopefully Mingo/Kruger can target it on gameday.

I was moreso hoping the doctor would mess up the op and he'd get a staph infection.

Couldn't agree with Weeden more but most of this potential "success" will come down to his play at QB....

I agree with the talk is cheap. Just fucking win, and how about winning a fucking opening game? One thing I like about this article if it is true:

"[He's] getting the ball out quicker and he's speeded up his delivery, but also from a mental standpoint [he's progressed]."

Says college failed drug tests are the reason it isnt longer (ie, they dont carry over). So I am assuming what he failed in college...weed.
