It has been suggested that death and taxes are the only two certainties in life. I would like to propose a third--- the annual arrest of the Browns' feature back for DUI. It's a little early this year, though, isn't it?
In Reuben's defense, after Sunday's game, wouldn't you drink too?
Speaking of drunks, Vinny's post reminded me of my favorite incident involving a fan running on to the field. Back in the early 1970s, the Colts were playing a playoff game, and some drunk fan ran onto the field and decided to help himself to the football. That didn't sit well with Colts' linebacker Mike Curtis, who knocked the fan out cold with a tremendous forearm to the head.
By the way, Mike Curtis went to Duke, which is probably why Marty Schottenheimer thought fellow Duke alum and Browns' #1 pick Mike Junkin would be -- let's say it together now--- "A Mad Dog in a Meat Market." Ah, memories!

Life's little certainties

Why did the Browns usually pull Reuben Droughns from the game when they got inside the red zone?
Perhaps because, as evidenced by his .08 BAC reading, he is able to get to the line, but has trouble crossing it. While getting to the line technically is enough, I'd bet the Browns want their running back to blast through so there is no doubt. When Reuben shows he can blow a .1 or higher, my guess is he'll be in there on short yardage.
Anonymous, you make a very strong case for William Green, who blew twice the legal limit when he was arrested AND had a bag of ganja in the glove compartment, to be the red zone go to guy.
