WOW!!!

Now that's what I'm talkin' about. The Browns just inked three free agents, and I've never seen anything like this in all my years of following the team. The offensive line just got a whole lot better because the Browns grabbed center, LaCharles Bentley, who was probably the best free agent offensive lineman available. He's young, tough and nasty. More importantly, he knows how to block for the run. His acquisition probably signals the end of Jeff Faine's tenure in Cleveland.

But, the Browns didn't stop with Bentley. They also added Kevin Shaffer to replace L.J. Shelton at tackle. Shaffer and Shelton are similar players, but Shaffer's more of a hitter and has the potential to grow into a much better player than Shelton could ever become. He's another guy who seems to love to run block. Reuben Droughns has to be the happiest guy in Ohio right about now.

Lastly, the Browns picked up another weapon in wide receiver, Joe Jurevicius. Jurevicius may have some of the most reliable hands in the NFL. Do you think this pick up had to do anything with the horrible dropsies that have plagued the team since its reincarnation in '99? Jurevicius won't take balls away from Edwards or Winslow, but he's a hell of a third option or safety valve.

The best thing about the new guys is that Bentley and Jurevicius are both from northeast Ohio. That means that, without question, you know they hate the Steelers.

I'm betting that our usually pessimistic hornless friend even has to be happy about this news.
