Crenneled

A question still lurking in the background for this year's Cleveland Browns is whether head coach Romeo Crennel will get to fulfill the final year of his contract. To the objective eye, the safe bet would be against that happening. But this is Cleveland and this is the Browns and if there is one constant it's their unpredictability.

We've chronicled, several times, Romeo's shortcomings, all of which were on full display in the Maurice Carthon debacle. So, as Jim Leyland might say, we won't re-chew our breakfast on that one. And while we see a better organized offense since Jeff Davidson took over the play calling, the overall product is still woeful and showing little evidence of progress. That would seem to spell doom.

But putting all of that insignificant on-the-field evidence screaming that the head coach is overmatched, we'll instead consider Crennel's press conference yesterday.

Crennel has been praised for his relative candor in such settings. And compared to automatons like New England's Bill Belichick, Crennel looks positively chatty most times. But his discussion about quarterback Charlie Frye smacked of a coach who knows he's on his way out and just doesn't care anymore.

Crennel, clearly not on the same playbook as his boss, GM Phil Savage, openly questioned whether Frye is the long-term answer at quarterback. Sure, Crennel talked about Frye's intangibles: "He's got good talent, good ability, good leadership ability, got some toughness. The guys rally around him. At that position you've got to have that," Crennel said. But Crennel also sounded just a bit exasperated that Frye, like the rest of the team, hasn't made much progress. Crennel said that Frye was under "pretty good duress" early on in the season, making it tough to make a valid evaluation but, "going forward, we'll see that he's a capable quarterback."

Reading between the lines, Crennel has given Frye the benefit of the doubt for the early mistakes because of the offensive line. But now, not so much. Crennel seemed to attribute Frye's continued problems to his desire to "make a play." Translated: Frye still hasn't made much progress in learning when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.

The fact that Crennel was unwilling to give Frye a solid endorsement, while intellectually honest, suggests that Crennel and Savage are not in sync on Frye's future. The fact that Savage didn't initially bring in a credible back-up and has since made no overt gestures in that direction strongly suggests that Savage sees things much differently when it comes to Frye's future.

If you are handicapping Crennel's chances of returning, this is the key development that bears watching. Yesterday's press conference was an subtle throwdown by Crennel to Savage that quarterback is another hole that may need to be filled. If Savage disagrees with this assessment, it will become the foundation upon which Crennel's departure is built as we can easily see the scenario developing where Crennel overtly puts his job on the line by demanding a change. However that scenario plays out will surely determine the future of the Browns. Here's hoping that owner Randy Lerner once again sides with his general manager against an overmatched and underachieving counterpoint.

I was actually a little encouraged by the game I watched Sunday. The fact that Cleveland was even in the game made me happy (of course I wanted touchdowns and not FGs though). I was expecting a game similar to Denver or Cincinnati earlier in the year. I think a sign of progress will be, despite injuries (which we've blamed every season, but every team has them), if this team doesn't mail it in the last eight games. Then we will actually have something to build on. It seems like every year, the Browns quit the season earlier than any other team (probably why I was happy with the SD game - they didn't quit).

I did find myself nodding my head to the points in your writing (both your last two posts). I am just hoping, I guess, that Crennel can ultimately succeed and the Browns can have a little stability (much like Terry Pluto writes about). I think your points on the Browns' office politics are true. You do a great job of picking up the nuances of the interviews and shuffling around between owner, GM and the coaching staff.

Remember that online casinos can afford to do this because they simply do not have the overhead that their brick and mortar land-based counterparts have. Equally, there is no excuse for an online casino NOT to be honest for exactly the same reason. They can offer free casino chips AND be an honest online casino in circumstances where their physical equivalents would find the financial burden impossible.



3. He analyzed the casino bonuses one by one and maximized his starting position. Almost all of the casinos offer an initial deposit bonus. Some even offer a second and third deposit bonus. On all of these promotions there are limits as to how much they allow as a bonus. In this case study the client played on all three deposit bonuses. First Deposit: 100% up to $150. Needless to say his first casino deposit was $150 (via Neteller) Second Deposit: 50% up to $150. His second deposit was $300 (via Neteller) giving him a bonus of $150. Again, he maximized his bonus allotment. Third Deposit: 75% up to $75. He deposited $100 (via Neteller) for a $75 bonus. In addition to the deposit bounses there was a Neteller deposit bouns.

If you have a good look around, you may discover quite a bit published on [url=http://cungmuachung.net/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url]. It does appear that what can be taken and used depends on certain requirements. As always, you may possibly have to branch out and look in places you had not thought about, yet. So it can occasionally feel like you are not making improvement because you may not find specifically what you need. Assembling the big picture for any subject is often not easy or fast with online research. Well, we have done our exploration into this subject, and we believe it will be of good use for you.

The relative complexities of women's and men's fashion

Both women and men could feel the difficulties of keeping their wardrobe up-to-date and in time, yet men's fashion usually feels a lot easier. Of program, for both genders, costumes and style choices can be quite as complicated, and there are several'stylish'items which could quickly become fashion faux pas - who can say they often times see people walking on in 70s flares? On the other side, men's style features a few staple items which will exist forever - which man is likely to keep an eye out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Pick traditional pieces, colors and materials and you'll never look out-of-place.

Why classic men's fashion is timeless

The classic man's suit has barely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are numerous options for different functions, but they are all common in their quest for a clever, sharp try to find the person. The best part about classic fashion for men is that it is efficiently elegant effortlessly neat. A well-groomed lady will typically appear his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this can be a testament to the design of such apparel. A match will undoubtedly be used to work in several occupations because of the professional search it affords to the wearer, instilling a feeling of respect and trust. Equally a match will undoubtedly be worn to many social functions, like a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This extraordinary flexibility which allows matches to be utilized in just about all occasions is what gives it its classic side and a permanent place in men's fashion.

Contemporary trends in classic men's fashion

Although basic men's designs will never be replaced, it's interesting to observe that shifts in men's fashion trends have produced certain common garments back to fashion. The acceptance of vintage clothing, specifically, has taken back a wide-variety of classic types into men's closets, such as that of the dandy man. 'Dandy'is a term used to reference men who dress in a classic yet luxurious way, placing value on appearance and operating in a polished approach. This tendency for nearly'over-the-top'traditional fashion for men is evident from events like the'Tweed Run', wherever men and girls of all ages clothe themselves in significantly Victorian-style clothing and take to the streets on vintage cycles - with many of the men wearing perfect mustaches! That is just one of many types of evidence exhibiting the resurgence of such styles. Additionally, there are numerous blogs on the web which concentrate on gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as whole websites such as'The Art of Manliness'specialized in providing articles on traditional men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, whilst certain issues with traditional men's style could be cut back as new movements, the basic clothes which they are based on will never slip out of fashion.

"All it requires really are a few basic clothes. And there's one secret - the easier the better." - Cary Grant
