Pittsburgh Steeler Bettis has a "heavy heart" because of sexual assault accusation

Hearing reports on the radio that it was a set-up designed to extort money from Bettis. I hope that is true, as he does have a stellar reputation in this community and does not come across like an ass as so many other over-paid atheletes do.

There will be more in tomorrow's papers, and I will post it here.

PS to your PS -

KC's Tip O' the Day - "Always leave your helmet on".

Mandatory nail gun meeting before the game this week.

Since they aren't smart enough to keep em' on we're gonna nail them to their skulls.

LOL! People her are snickering because we know that the Browns gave us a nice big gift and that in no way were we supposed to win that game.

It was ugly. Prentice ran on us like he'd been shot up with horse steroids at half time. How the heck you give up 23 points in the 4th is beyond me.

On another note we nearly had to beat some of our "fellow" Browns fans when they threw a couple beer cups at the KC guys in front of us.

These guys came in wearing KC jerseys and took all the good natured ribbing very well. They were politely supportive of the Chiefs throughout the game and even kept quiet at the very end. Even so some drunk slobs from about 6 rows back threw empty cups (2) at them after the end of the game.

I doubt they expected as many guys to turn around and tell them to knock it off or be beaten as did. There had to be 20 of us. The two guys apologized very quickly and literally ran to get out of the stadium before we took out our angst at losing on them.

The guys from KC thought it was pretty funny. One of them said "That's something I haven't seen before." and one of the guys around us said "and something you wouldn't have seen if you were a Ravens fan and we'd just lost to the Ravens like that". It was a good laugh.

I can understand the behavior of the Browns fans. Unfortunately, some of our KC fans treat fans from other towns as bad, but I think that goes on in every NFL town. I have witnessed the same behavior by NFl fans in Denve, Miami, and Chicago.

We knew our defense was bad, but we really haad no idea we were THAT bad. It takes a serious lack of talent to let a rookie QB look like Dan Marino around 85' with Duper and Clayton.

The Griefs better enjoy that win because they are not going to get many breaks like that.

Your D shouldn't feel bad, Holcomb is no rookie. He's been involved with that offense for five years so he knows it better than Couch to a point.

Our D however is putrid. I went from thinking we'd be 10-6 this year to thinking we'll be lucky to be 6-10.

Well, I guess we should'nt feel that bad. I actually think Cleveland can be a playoff team this year, although I think the injury to Jamir Miller hurts.
