I say three months until the first "Bowling Green" headline

Trent Green? That's the answer to Cleveland's quarterback woes? Wonderful. What possible reason could the Browns have for trading for Trent Green, who will be 37 before the start of the season and is owed $24.1M over the next three years? Aw crap, no! He's obviously a short-term fix (at least it should be obvious) and with everyone realizing Eminem...errr Charlie Frye sucks, it looks to mean only one thing: Brady Fucking Quinn.

Really? You're going to do this to us? Brady Quinn? I'd rather have Bobby Quinn! This draft is top heavy in terms of talent, like the bar below my apartment, and we're going to take a frightened school boy #3 to run our team? Good plan, wouldn't want a backfield with Adrian Peterson and Jamal Lewis, now would we? This year, I've been telling everyone that anything could happen with the top three picks, so it's worthless trying to predict who is going where, but screw Brady Quinn! I'll take David Carr over the money Quinn would get at number 3, not to mention Trent Green's $7.2 this coming year.

Fine, I'll finally say nice about Troy Smith - given the completely theoretical options of:
A.) Signing David Carr for 2-3 years at a discount, drafting Peterson #3 and taking Troy Smith in the 3rd/4th (and just so there's no confusion on how I feel about Smith: Go Blue!), or
B.) Trading away picks for Green and his ridiculous salary, drafting Brady Quinn and giving him another 4-5 million a year...
....There's no doubt I go with A.

At least we'll get to see some doofus grab the #31 "Green" jersey out of their closet, cross out the numbers and draw a "10" on top of them, in a twist of what they'll consider to be irony. (I on the other hand will still wear mine as is, waiting 'til the day Willie Green makes headlines for his inevitable Rae Carruth impersonation)
