My wife tells me that on some Cleveland sports talk show the other day, callers were demanding that the Browns' coach be fired. Calls for a new coach and a new quarterback are a sure sign that fall has arrived in Cleveland. When sports talk show hosts feel lazy, the surest way to get through their block of time is to ask: "Hey, Browns fans...is it time to make a coaching change? Is [insert QB's name] the right guy at quarterback? Is it time to give [insert backup QB's name] a shot for the rest of the season, just to see what we have?"
In Pittsburgh they can have the same coach and quarterback for 428 years, but not in Cleveland. If you get drafted by Pittsburgh you can bring your family along, buy a nice house, plant an oak tree in your back yard and watch it grow as your kids pass through grade school and high school. But in Cleveland you're better off in a one-bedroom apartment.
