The Browns finish with a 4-12 with an 0-6 mark against their own division. It should be no surprise there because they cannot beat anybody in their own division. Sure, they all but Cleveland made the playoffs but it's still no excuse. I don't want to hear lockout or new coach because quite frankly, I'm tired of it. I knew they were not going to be good after firing Magini.

I wrote an article about the expectations for this team. When I said do not expect much, I meant it. It's still no excuse to just play dead against their own division.

Should they stick with Colt McCoy? They should and it's getting ridiculous with the mentality that if they don't go to the Super Bowl right away, he's a bum. Could he fail? Possibly but nobody knows for sure and one full season is not going to be telling of a whole career. If that were true, the 49ers would have gotten rid of Alex Smith but they stuck it out. My point is that he was given a chance and it may work out for him. The Browns should do that with McCoy instead of just giving up and saying he's a bum and listening to the fans on that one.

They really should look at that offensive line and see what they can do to make it better. It is not the best line in the world and it's one area that I swear doesn't get addressed or even dealt with. It's like they ignore it and think it's not a problem. What Quarterback can survive with this type of line? I highly doubt that there is one.

Will Peyton Hillis be a member of the Browns? It'd be a shock if he ended up only because of what happened. He should have never be voted on the cover of Madden. Seems like bad things happen.

Same for Josh Cribbs. I wonder if they will trade him. I got a feeling he might request it because of being tired of the losing culture. Then again, maybe not.

Defense isn't bad and has potential to be strong but cannot play the majority of the game the whole time. You're not going to win that often going in that direction. At least, it hasn't yet.

I really wasn't thrilled with the head coaching and I still have to wonder if they really made the right choice. Well, I don't think going for a quick fire is going to work. They've been changing coaches way too frequently and they're never going to win if they don't stick with somebody.

Final thoughts: Unless they start winning against the opposition in the AFC North, expect the same song and dance over and over again. They will always be a last place team in that division. Pittsburgh and Baltimore are just too strong and cannot be stopped so quickly. Cincinnati is too much of a Jekyll and Hyde team to figure out what direction they are going and what type of team they are.

As the season gets closer to coming to a complete close, the AFC North looks to be somewhat of a three team race. It is the same three that it usually ends up being with one being a complete failure as usual.

Pittsburgh is the team I thought they were. Anytime it gets said that they are on the decline, they seem to keep going no matter what. They have probably one of the smartest organizations in the league. They know what it takes to win and probably is going to stay that way for years. When one guy goes down, they plug someone else in and just stays the course.

Baltimore is another franchise that seems to be doing things right. They have a strong defense and doesn't appear to be completely slowing down anytime soon. They know how to find talent and use it right.

Cincinnati is a team that is full of frustration because each season, you never know if they are going to contend for sure. They let Palmer "retire" only for him to be traded to the Raiders. A new QB and a WR to match and they seem to be clicking for now. Only time will tell if they can put together consecutive good seasons.

Cleveland is once again a punching bag. They showed promise early on with being 2-2 and instead have been 1-4 since that time frame. They couldn't score a touch down if the other team just laid down and not even tried. Sometimes and I think I've said it on here before, what were they thinking bringing the Browns back to Cleveland? Couldn't they name have been retired for good? Sometimes I wonder if it would be better if there wasn't a football team in Cleveland to torture the fan base on a consistent basis. Maybe that could be an article.

There are nine total Liberation Missions that are available in the game. Each have the best prize, decent prize, and just plain Zenny. The guides that will be provided in on getting the best rank possible. It is possible to do it with either one but there will be a reference mainly from Team Colonel but it's possible with Team Proto Man.

Liberation #1
In Mega Man Battle Network 5, there is a liberation mission that needs to be completed. For this one, it is the very first one and is actually not too complex in that respect. The boss is Blizzard Man. Target phase should be seven but for the purpose of the walkthrough, it is going to be involving the thought of actually getting the job done. Depending upon the version will have either Proto Man or Colonel.

Liberation #1 walkthrough

Liberation #2
Mega Man Battle Network 5 has a liberation mission that needs to be completed. It is the second one. The boss in this situation will be Shade Man. He is one that would not be too difficult but there won’t be a lot of major chips right away. He’s one that can be beaten and reached to get the SP card early on. More often than not, it is quite possible. Depending upon the version will have different Net Navis. For the purpose of the guide, it’s going to be about attempting to get to him within range of obtaining the Shade Man SP card.

Liberation #2 walkthrough

Liberation #3
Mega Man Battle Network 5 continues on with another liberation mission. Location is going to be at SciLab 3. Much like the previous ones, it will depend upon which version is being used. It will either be Gyro Man or Shadow Man. One interesting note is that if using the other version or a transfer out, he’s like a transformer so to speak. It is easy to see why as he turns into a helicopter.

History of the WWE Championship

September 30th 2011 02:15
The WWE Championship is the top title in the WWE today. It is one where the top stars hold it. Going back to its early days, it didn't change much but the landscape of professional wrestling was different as there wasn't much in the way of TV or PPV or even having Internet available to the public.

To clarify this before there is any confusion whatsoever, it is the history of the WWE championship, not the World Heavyweight Title. The big difference between the two is the history due to the companies. The World Heavyweight Title mainly has the history of the WCW Championship and is currently on the Smackdown brand. The WWE Title is on the Raw brand and has a 40-plus year history going back to the past. See, back in the 60s and to an extent the late 80s, the championship didn't change hands much. It's time to take a look back at the history of the belt going into specific eras.

Blog plans

September 27th 2011 02:49
I've got plans right now for it. I've got the next few ideas coming along in getting something going as time progresses. I'm going to be doing a series on championship history looking at some of the championships below. Of course, I'll probably have a few going as well. After that, I'll finish up by continuing with it looking at different belts and try to use that for a month.

Admitting to being wrong so far

September 27th 2011 02:43
While the season is almost 1/4 of the way done, I must admit to being wrong about the Cleveland Browns. Maybe they are better than I thought they were. Maybe they were just lucky but as it stands, 2-1 is pretty good for them. The last time they had this record, it was when Butch Davis was the head coach. Does that mean they'll make the playoffs? I wouldn't go that far just yet.

A lot can happen as they now prepare for the Titans. You would think it would be a winnable game but as it is shown, it is not guaranteed to be as such. Just like the Dolphins game, anything can happen. They might win this and get off to a 3-1 start or just be 2-2. All they need now is just three more victories to match the season total.

Week 2 assessment: The Cleveland Browns

September 17th 2011 14:26
In what probably shouldn't be considered a shock, they lost to the Bengals in the opening week. It seems to be a recurring theme. This week, it is going to be against the Colts. Now, you would think that it would be an easy victory for them considering that there is no Peyton Manning. However, do not expect it to be as such.

This is a franchise that probably is extremely impulsive on firing coaches and changing quickly. The results have been a disaster. The Colts are probably going to be going in a bit furious and in rage over what has happened. Given that and the fact that it seems like Cleveland keeps finding ways to lose, it would be no shock if they lost.

Defeating Le Mu

September 14th 2011 15:58
The final boss in Mega Man Star Force 2 is Le Mu. It doesn't matter what version is being used as it is best described as being as being a final boss. Though there are different symbols used such as the Saurian, Zerker, or Ninja, it is still the same. He has a high amount of HP.

Before even attempting to do so, collect as many chips as possible. Try to get a good amount like over 100 if possible. The reason for doing so is to have more of a variety and give yourself a better chance at defeating him.

Let's not forget Crennel is in an easier division than the AFC North. He'll have a better chance of success but only time will tell if the hire indeed is going to work out.

I don't expect much from Delhomme. Never seen Wallace play so he's pretty much unknown to me. Unlikely Colt plays this year. He might next season.

on Brady Quinn traded to Denver

March 15th 2010 02:27
I knew that was coming. As far as a new coach, if they go 0-4 or 1-3, I think Mangini will be gone. Only problem is who is going to come in and be the coach? That's the only drawback but I do agree that perhaps it would be needed.

And yet the Colts wonder why they don't succeed in the playoffs doing this as an example. It isn't just them but teams that do it are likely to get knocked out of the playoffs. Anymore, it may not seem like a huge shock.

Maybe there had been some sympathy and it's not like they haven't had enough shots taken at those teams. I would guess pity but that's just me.

on The NFL needs a developmental league

August 20th 2009 12:02
The UFL could be that development league if it continues to grow after one season though it's got a long way to go. At least they'd play around the same time and could have call-ups. Just a thought perhaps.

True about the Cardinals. That's something I can agree with there.
