Angels Top Dodgers 5-3 to Open Freeway Series Stuck
12:23 PM - November 21, 2010. Written by bkrich83


Intra-league play is here, and the Angels opened it up by travelling up the 5 freeway to take on the Dodgers at Dodger stadium.

Joel Pineiro pitched 7 strong innings and Torii Hunter hit a home run and knocked in 3 runs as the Angels opened the series by defeating the Dodgers 5-3. The loss snapped a 6 game win streak for the host Dodgers.

The win was number 6 for Pineiro who improved his record to 6-2. The loss dropped Chad Billingsley to 5-4. Brian Fuentes picked up save number 14.

Polls and Predictions Stuck
12:15 PM - November 20, 2010. Written by JPCaveman13
Polls, Predictions, and Projections

Associated Press - The Preseason Polls have been released for the upcoming NCAA season. Where does your team rank within the Top 25? Some fans may be overjoyed while some may feel snubbed at the initial rankings.

So here are the initial rankings:

NCAA Football Rankings - AP Top 25 - Updated: Aug 6, 2010
RKLWTEAM (VOTES)WLPOINTS
1--Texas (32)00
2--Oregon (22)00
3--Boise State (5)00

20--Cincinnati00
21--Houston00
22--Georgia00

24--Oklahoma State00
25--BYU00



Texas takes home the top spot, followed closely by Oregon. Boise State, Virginia Tech, and TCU round out the top five. Waiting right behind them are Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Georgia Tech, and Miami.

All of these teams have the capabilities to remain in the top-10 or top-15 all season. Depending on how things may play out over the course of the season, there is a possibility of having at least four undefeated teams at season's end from this group of teams.

In the best-of-the-rest ranked teams category: Oklahoma, LSU, Penn State, Oregon State, and Arkansas have a fortuitous chance to climb the ranks if games fall their way. In this middle tier of ranked teams, key wins along with a crucial loss in a team above and they are in a good position to control their destiny.

As usual, the talk of the BCS-buster role goes to Boise State, TCU, and Utah. Boise State and TCU have a shared opponent in Oregon State, and Oregon State has plenty of weapons on both sides of the ball to thwart any chance of these two schools busting into the BCS. Other critical match-ups for these two schools include an opening-week game, where Boise State traveling to Virginia Tech, and a mid-season match-up between TCU and Utah. A loss in any one of those games would spell disaster for the hopes of a BCS berth.

Just like the talk of BCS-busters, dark horses lurk in the shadows. Georgia, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma State, Michigan State, Stanford, Cal, Oregon State, Miami, Florida State, and Pittsburgh could burst into the limelight with some key wins over conference opponents. Outside of the BCS conferences, only Notre Dame and Houston can really push their way into the outer spotlight.



Key Season Games


Opening Week features two great games that can have postseason implications:

-Boise State at Virginia Tech

A loss for Boise State and making it into the BCS will become an afterthought unless there are no other one- or two-loss teams (or a luck chance they are clinging to a spot in the top-16 and a conference champion is ranked lower). A win for Boise State and they can gain some points for a quality opponent. This game can either be a close and well-played game or a laugher, depending on which Virginia Tech team shows up.

Prediction: Boise State by less than seven

-Oregon State at TCU

Like the other marquee match-up, a loss for TCU spells disaster while a win gives them a quality win as well. Oregon State has their hands full with the TCU offense and it is just the same the other way around. This game could come down to who can play the better defense as both offenses, when hot, are capable of anything.

Prediction: TCU in overtime

Week Three provides a Texas shootout when Texas travels to Lubbock to face Texas Tech. While this game may have lost a little luster with a coaching change, a loss for either school and a Big 12 South title is in jeopardy.

Prediction: Texas humbles Texas Tech

Week Four doesn't get any easier as Boise State returns for another spotlight game against Oregon State. At least this game is being played on the Blue Turf where Boise State has not lost in nearly a decade. With a Bronco win, Boise State would now have two quality wins over BCS schools.

Prediction: Boise State + Smurf Turf = two TD win

Week Five offers two Big 10 showdowns between the potential top-four teams in the conference. Down the road, two of these teams meet and depending on how the games go, there could be a four-way tie atop the conference. The other "can't miss" game this week is the Red River Rivalry.

-Texas vs Oklahoma at Dallas

This neutral-site game will be wild and crazy as these bitter rivals face off in a de-facto Big 12 South title match with the winner controlling their destiny to the Big 12 Championship and a possible slot in the National Championship. Both teams are rebounding after key losses from last year's team and are going to be looking to establish an identity for the remainder of the season.

Prediction: A good old fashioned slobber-knocker decided in the final minute. Whoever makes key plays at the end wins.

-Wisconsin at Michigan State

Both schools have established veterans on both sides of the ball and both teams look to run downhill. Wisconsin has looked susceptible in the passing game before and Michigan State has the better QB.

Prediction: Michigan State in a low-scoring affair

-Penn State at Iowa

This is another match-up of grind it out teams that will inevitably be decided on the better passing team. Iowa does have the advantage of the pink locker room and a better passer.

Prediction: Iowa by two TDs

Week Six has a prime SEC West match-up between Arkansas at Auburn. It will be a passing vs spread option showdown for an inside track to the SEC West title with a later date with LSU pending.

Prediction: Expect a barn-burner with Auburn having the edge at home.

Week Seven provides a potential preview of the Big 12 Championship Game, and a rematch of last year's game, when Texas travels to Nebraska. Nebraska has less riding on this game as far as the Big 12 North standings go, but if they get through the schedule unscathed, the Big 12 Championship Game could be a launching pad for the National Championship.

Prediction: Texas narrowly takes the game in Lincoln, setting up the same scenario as last year.

Week Eight is the first SEC West date with LSU as Auburn hosts this match-up. If Auburn defeats Arkansas and then LSU, they can lay claim to the SEC West, controlling their own destiny. However, with a LSU win, the LSU-Arkansas game weighs into the SEC West race and there's the potential for a three-way tie atop the division.

Prediction: Auburn controls LSU and their destiny.

Week Ten provides another great non-BCS game with potential BCS implications. TCU travels to Utah to meet in a de-facto Mountain West title game. Provided both schools are undefeated at this point, the winner of the game has a good chance of remaining that way.

Prediction: TCU storms into Utah on a roll and leaves with another big victory.

Week Thirteen brings us close to the end of the season and a loss here will damage any team's shot at a BCS bowl berth.

-Boise State at Nevada

Boise State has the final hurdle in Nevada to another undefeated season. Nevada and their pistol offense is one of the most dynamic offenses in the nation. However, their defense is not at the same level as the offense. Boise State is as well-rounded as a team can get, but they have to avoid this potential "trap" game.

Prediction: Nevada and the pistol fire blanks as Boise State walks away with the win.

-Michigan State at Penn State

This game could mean nothing at this point of the season or it can have implications on who goes to the Rose Bowl. Depending on the outcome of the games in week five, the winner can stake a partial claim in the Big 10 title or rain on the other's parade. This game will look like most any upper-level Big 10 game with downhill running, short-to-intermediate passing, and tough defense.

Prediction: All is not well in Happy Valley as Michigan State comes out with the win, staking a claim to the Big 10 title.

-LSU at Arkansas

Another game that could have little SEC West bearing or become the showdown for the SEC West crown. If both LSU and Arkansas have defeated Auburn, the winner heads to the SEC Championship Game. If they split the games, the winner could create a tie atop the division. If they both have lost to Auburn, well, pride is on the line.

Prediction: Arkansas's passing offense is no match for LSU's pass defense as Arkansas takes the win.

Week Fourteen may hold a gem if Utah has pulled off a win over TCU and Notre Dame. BYU would be the last hurdle for Utah to manage.

Prediction: Utah has already lost to TCU and Notre Dame so they play for pride in this bitter rivalry...and lose.

Championship Week brings three great games in the SEC, ACC, and Big 12. Any one of these games could also hold the key to the National Championship.

-Big 12 CG - Texas vs Nebraska

This rematch will have a similar ending as Texas defeats Nebraska again.

-ACC - Virginia Tech vs Florida State

Florida State, in an upstart year, surprise Virginia Tech to take home the ACC title.

-SEC - Auburn vs South Carolina

South Carolina, taking the SEC East in surprise fashion, use the momentum to carry them into the SECCG. However, they fall short of the title and Auburn takes it home.

Provided this style scenario plays out, the BCS bowls will be quite interesting. Boise and TCU, undefeated, would have have an automatic bid since they will most likely outrank the SEC, Big East, Big 10, and ACC champions. The Rose Bowl would lose their Pac-10 tie-in and the Fiesta Bowl will lose their Big 12 tie-in as each will play in the National Championship.

-Rose Bowl - Michigan State (Big 10 Champ) vs Boise State (Auto-bid non-AQ)

Boise State gets this BCS bowl as the new non-BCS rules kick in. However, they will once again show that they belong on the national stage by defeating Iowa handily.

-Sugar Bowl - Auburn (SEC Champ) vs Nebraska (At-large)

Auburn and Nebraska will battle it out with the game coming down to the wire. However makes key plays at the end wins.

-Fiesta Bowl - TCU (At-large) vs Iowa (At-large)

Iowa will come out to control the clock and the tempo of the game with their rushing attack. However, TCU's dynamic offense will eventually wear down Iowa's defense, giving TCU the win as they pull away late.

-National Championship Game - Texas (BCS #1) vs Oregon (BCS #2)

Oregon will have quietly gone undefeated out west and under the radar of the Big 12 and SEC. With their high-octane style of play, they will take it to Texas in the NCG.


While predictions are fun, there is a reason the games are played. Boise State and Utah have showed us that on a national stage. Each week this season will have drama and possibly some potential big upsets.

LAKERS 2K10-11: The New Barbatrucco Era 
07:19 AM - November 20, 2010. Written by Barbatrucco
Los Angeles Lakers 2K11! El Segundo is on fire, the Barbatrucco has re-signed a multiyear contract with the Lakers!



The offices of El Segundo are always the same, Los Angeles is always the same, Venice Beach is always the same, Staples is always the same: what has changed is the universe around, the universe of NBA 2k11: stuff for tough people. The Barbatrucco's philosophy, however, remains unchanged: social-democracy substitutions, enhancement of the bench, shot who is open and Triple Post Offense. And in a team, I don't want duplication players. I've got very clear ideas for my bench (Blake, Brown, Odom/Walton, Powell, Mbenga, Morrison), Vujacic and Barnes I don't need. I do a flash easy negotiation with the Hawks, sending Theo Ratliff to Atlanta in exchange of Josh Powell's return, then I dedicate myself to the Serbian and Barnes. I have to think about the future, I think that "Lamarvellous" has 2-year contract and will not be renewed in summer 2K13, I need a young promising but still in the shadow. I had already identified it in NBA 2k9, but now I can do my own, exchanging him for Matt Barnes: this is Earl Clark, 3-4, 22 year old from Phoenix Suns. The next two years learning from Odom will make it ready for future replacement. Vujacic is therefore to place, and here again I look to the future. I send him to Cleveland and in addition put on the truck the first Lakers choice in the next Draft: in exchange for Vujacic choice, I get the 2K13 first round Draft pick of the Cavaliers. Now I drive a starting five ("Fish", Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Bynum) and a solid bench (Blake, Walton, Brown, Odom, Clark, Powell, Mbenga, Morrison). The goal? Always the same, win the last game of the season. Which means only a thing

Football is Back

The 2010 season of college football is set to kickoff in a couple of weeks. This year, we welcome twelve new coaches to the FBS ranks. Some are making their head coaching debuts while others have made a new for themselves at the lower levels. Coaches making their FBS debut are:

Luke Winters - Arizona - Winters, 36, takes over a team who went 8-4 in the regular season and losing its bowl game in blowout fashion. Winters rose through the coaching ranks at his alma mater Trinity College, a D-III school, becoming the Head Coach six years ago. Winters amassed a 44-28 record (3-2 in the playoffs), going 10-2 in his final season and ending with a berth in the semifinals.

Kyle Mourneaux - Caddo - Mourneaux, 41, takes over at Caddo after serving as the Offensive Coordinator for the last six years under Jerry Whitfield, who retired after last season's 3-9(1-7) debacle. Mourneaux is making his head coaching debut when the season kicks off.

Wyatt McMahon - Grand Valley - McMahon, 48, takes over a struggling Icehawk team who finished a dismal 2-10(0-8), losing all ten games by less than nine points - four by a field goal or less. McMahon served as the team's Defensive Coordinator for five years before moving on to become the Head Coach at neighboring Ferris State. McMahon was able to turn the program around during his five-year tenure, 2-10 his first year to consecutive 8-4 records and a playoff berth.

Buck Wylde - Horizon State - Wylde, 50, takes over after serving as the team's Defensive Coordinator for eight of the past ten seasons, five in this past stint. After his first stint as the DC, Wylde left to become the Head Coach at Arcadia College. Wylde returned to HSU after three seasons, going 18-18.

John Holliday - Independence - Holliday, 39, takes over at Independence after a disappointing 5-7 season. Holliday previously served as the Offensive Coordinator at Pipeline for the last four years. This will be Holliday's debut as a Head Coach.

Levi Turner - Indiana - Turner, 34, takes over a struggling Indiana program, going 4-8(1-7) last season, marred with a late season collapse. Turner comes to IU after three seasons as the Head Coach at University of Indianapolis, where he complied a 20-16 record.

Mike Chandler - Mychra - Chandler, 39, inherits the Jaguars after a 6-6(2-6) season, just missing out on a bowl berth. Chandler served as the Jaguars Offensive Coordinator for the last four years. This will be Chandler's Head Coaching debut.

Red Payne Sr. - New Holland - Payne, 78, returns to coaching after a ten-year coaching retirement to take over the Dragons after going 5-7(2-6) last season. Payne has compiled a lifetime record of 198-148 (26-12 in the playoffs, including two National Championships) in his thirty-eight years as a head coach at the D-II and D-III levels.

Keith Crosby - Ottawa College - Crosby, 45, takes over a struggling program that went 2-10(0-8) last season. Crosby left Alberta in Canada to become the Head Coach at Ottawa. Crosby is well-established within Canada but will make his American football coaching debut.

Laika'a Manumala - Pipeline - Manumala, 38, takes over at Pipeline after serving as the Offensive and Defensive Line Coach for the past four years. Manumala previously coached at Hawaii-Hilo, going 38-22 in his five years as Head Coach, before coming to Pipeline.

Dale Jay - Wileyville - Jay, 55, takes over a program in flux, finishing last season 6-6(1-6), just missing a bowl game. Jay has compiled a lifetime record of 148-92 (18-12 in the playoffs with one national championship) in his twenty years as a Head Coach at the D-II level.


Stay with us as we follow these "rookie" FBS coaches to see if they have success at college's top level.

OLD TIMERS LEAGUE: The E P I C in Miami (Week 10) 
01:34 AM - November 19, 2010. Written by sixzero


THE E P I C in MIAMI
MiaMi Dolphins (5-3) vs. San Diego Chargers (8-0)

On November 19, 2010, the San Diego Chargers and Miami Dolphins are to meet in their 1st match-up in the regular season, at Dolphins Stadium in Miami, Florida. With the calendar inching closer to their confrontation, the coaches of the Dolphins acknowledged concern.

Dolphins coach Don Shula wondered if his team could stop San Diego's prolific offense, which had broken a slew of single-season records, Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers is set to break records this year in passes, completions and passing yards, while their running backs are earning recognition. Additionally, three different receivers are expected to finish with at least a thousand yards, and Chargers tight end Antonio Gates is the best tight end in the league.

"We have to make them earn it and make big plays on their own," Shula was quoted stressing in a piece by the St. Petersburg Times. "Rivers has that great rhythm, taking five steps back and then reading the defense and throwing the ball. What we have to do is destroy that rhythm, get a hand in his face, put some pressure on him."

Dolphin coaches were right in their worries. The Dolphins' were in fact unable to disrupt the rhythm of their previous two opponents, division rivals Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets. "We cannot afford to allow history to repeat itself" Shula said. "In 1995 they took a one point lead with 1 minute left and we end up missing a game winning field goal. We need to execute". (Video included in my arena)

By the end of this game, you can expect: both quarterbacks to break previous records, a high scoring affair, and one of the greatest regular season games of all time.

A classic that will later be remembered as the "E P I C in Miami".

OLD TIMERS LG: Miami Dolphins (5-2) 
08:21 PM - November 14, 2010. Written by sixzero


OLD TIMERS LEAGUE
Week 7
Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills

Was it McKelvin, or Dolphins offense frustrating Brandon Marshall?
by: II siXZero II November 15th, 2010 | 10:38 am

Right after the Miami Dolphins broke the huddle and got into their offensive formation Leodis McKelvin would look Brandon Marshall right in the eye and tell him the exact route he was running.

McKelvin, Buffalo’s starting cornerback, admitted he wasn’t right all the time, but he guessed he was on the mark about 80 percent of the Dolphins’ offensive snaps.

“You shouldn’t be able to do that, but I’ve watched every single game Miami’s played this year and the formation doesn’t lie. Formations tell a lot,” McKelvin said. “He didn’t like that. Much respect.

“Whenever you can stop an elite receiver that gives you a chance to win.”

McKelvin, who often defended Marshall one-on-one without safety help over the top during Sunday’s 35-7 loss to the Bills, said he could tell based on Marshall’s mannerisms, and facial expressions that he was fuming inside.

“He was clapping his hands a lot. Our whole game plan was to not let their best player beat us,” said McKelvin, who picked off one of the four passes intended for Marshall when Tom Brady's passes was a little high and outside Marshall’s catch zone. “We gave ourselves a chance to win. We had them on the ropes. We just didn’t put them away.”

McKelvin admits he was surprised the Dolphins didn’t lean on Marshall more than they did, especially in the red zone when Brady threw a fade to Brian Hartline instead of Marshall. The Bills singled up Marshall in the redzone, practically daring Brady to throw his way.

“You got to go talk to Sparano and the offensive coordinator about that,” McKelvin said of the team’s approach with Marshall. “I don’t think we doubled him the whole day. That’s something I looked forward to.”

Marshall, who caught three passes for 35 yards, opted against talking to the media after Sunday’s win, which featured Marshall drawing a delay of game penalty for throwing a pass to the sideline after making a 16-yard reception that put the Dolphins in scoring territory.

Deuces.

Bronx Bugle - Yankees Victims Of Late Rally Stuck
06:50 PM - November 11, 2010. Written by Reaman

Carlos Beltran with a nice catch on the track!



David, your swing is always Wright!


The Yankees were THAT close to tying the game!


Carl could not believe that he was called out, and the amazing winning streak is now over!


Late-inning rally takes life out of Yankees, who lose to the Mets.

New York was beaten by the Mets yesterday, losing a tight 6-5 interleague contest with a crowd of 41,800 fans on hand at CITI FIELD.

He only had 1 official at-bat -- and he banged out a hit -- but Lance Berkman drove in 1 run for the Yankees.

It was a "quality start" for Phil Hughes, who allowed 3 runs in 6 innings, but it was also a no-decision for him, as he was long gone when the game was decided.

Reliever Joba Chamberlain took the loss, getting lit up for 3 runs in two thirds of an inning in relief of starter Phil Hughes.

The Yankees, behind their ace C.C. Sabathia (5-2, 4.18), begin a new series in Minnesota Tomorrow night. The Twins give the starting nod to Francisco Liriano (3-0, 6.41).

The Yankees acquired C Bengie Molina from the Giants for SP Tim Redding, SP Jeremy Bleich and SP Jason Hirsh.

Perfect A's 
09:13 AM - November 11, 2010. Written by MasudaElTerrible
Hey guys, i'm pretty new to this, but i'll be starting up a MLb 2k10 Oakland Athletics Franchise Blog pretty soon and just wanted to put the word out. It'll be my first blog but i'm really excited and can't wait to get started.

Blog Specs:
So the way i'm going to do this is pretty simple i think. I'm going to post in 10 game brackets with key game information for each game. I'll also have around the league notes, minor league notes, as wells as "GM Thoughts" which gives updates on my current feelings on the league and focused closely on my organization. I'm going to try to make it as visually appealing as possible so you guys actually want to check this thing out. Oh and i'll also post in between Franchise updates on just around IRL baseball topics. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Keep the A's in Oakland!

Bronx Bugle - Yankees Pick Up Win, Extend Streak Stuck
01:33 AM - November 11, 2010. Written by Reaman

French dressing!


Plenty of action at home plate, ,as it seems that a collision is on its way!



It's like Carl knew exactly where the camera would be! As he slides in safe, and shows off his shades!


Roy "Whiff Master" Oswalt has not hit his actual groove yet, but it's coming soon!


Yankees soar past Mets in interleague contest, extending win streak to 10.

The Yankees, playing on the road in New York, won a tight game last night, beating the Mets 2-1 with a crowd of 41,800 fans on hand at CITI FIELD.

Allowing 1 run on 7 hits over 7 innings of work, while striking out 2, Roy Oswalt was able to notch his 4th win of the season.

A key player offensively was Nick Swisher, who picked up a pair of hits in 4 at-bats.

The series ends this afternoon, with the Yankees' Phil Hughes (2-0, 2.78) and the Mets' Fernando Nieve (3-0, 4.23) the probable starters.

PRESEASON GAME #4 
03:47 AM - November 7, 2010. Written by da36chamberz
The Cleveland Browns managed to outlast the Chicago Bears with a 38-34 win at home. Cleveland finishes the preseason with a 4-0 record, which was a surprise to everyone, except the Browns. "We work hard, we play hard," CB Eric Wright commented after the game. HB Peyton Hillis added, "Yeah, you like to go undefeated, but it's not like this counts for anything. The real test comes next week against Tampa."

For Cleveland, the starters only played the first quarter, then gave way to the reserves. Colt McCoy started and was an accurate 8 of 9 before exiting the game. Eric Mangini confirmed he's sticking with McCoy during the regular season, "We have three talented quarterbacks, but we like the way McCoy has managed the game, and he hasn't made too many mistakes, so we're gonna stick with him." When asked about being named the backup quarterback, Jake Delhomme commented "Obviously you want to be the guy, but at the end of the day it's the coaches decision."

The reserves played well, although Seneca Wallace continued his streak of throwing an interception in each game. Josh Cribbs lost a fumble on a punt early in the game, and Thomas Clayton lost one rushing late in the contest - both turning into points for the Bears.

For Chicago, Jay Cutler kept Cleveland's secondary guessing en route to 3 touchdown passes. Matt Forte was held in check, with only 37 yards on 10 carries. Johnny Knox and Rashied Davis both amassed over 100 yards receiving. The offensive line was suspect in the second half, giving up four sacks. Chicago seemed in control of the game late in the fourth, but were unable to come back from a Cleveland score with 6:04 remaining.

PRESEASON GAME #3 
01:05 AM - November 7, 2010. Written by da36chamberz
The Cleveland Browns extended their preseason winning streak with a 31-28 win over the Detroit Lions. The first half was action-packed, including two interceptions returned for touchdowns, and a total of 45 points from both teams.

For Cleveland, Coach Mangini started Jake Delhomme at quarterback today. His first pass was good for 28 yards to Evan Moore. His next pass, however, landed in the hands of Kyle Vanden Bosch, who ran untouched to put the Lions up 7-0. His next drive yielded better results, when he connected with Josh Cribbs for a touchdown. Colt McCoy came in to relieve Delhomme, and posted good numbers. Eric Wright dazzled again on defense, returning a Matthew Stafford pass for his second pick 6 of the preseason. The Browns also saw improved play from Joe Haden, who's interception late in the fourth quarter sealed the game for Cleveland.

For Detroit, they had a monster game from Jahvid Best. He smoked the Cleveland defense for 165 yards, including 2 runs over 70 yards. Calvin Johnson Jr. was quiet in the first half, but played with the reserves in the second half in the slot, and managed over 100 yards for the day. Bobby Carpenter led the defense in tackles, and Vanden Bosch opened the scoring with his amazing interception return.

It was a high-scoring, physical contest. Evan Moore of the Browns tore his shoulder and will be out for the next 2 weeks, and Ashlee Palmer of the Lions suffered a partial MCL tear and will be out for 8 weeks.

PRESEASON GAME #2 Stuck
09:20 PM - November 6, 2010. Written by da36chamberz
Cleveland improved it's preseason record to 2-0 with a 17-15 win over the St. Louis Rams at home. Once again, the first-stringers for Cleveland carried the game for the Browns, scoring all of their 17 points in the first half. The Rams had a decent showing today, but were unable to come from behind and get the W.

For Cleveland, Colt McCoy got the start again, with Jake Delhomme playing most of the 2nd quarter. The question this preseason for Cleveland is who will start at quarterback. While Seneca Wallace has been playing with the second squad both games, it appears he is still 3rd on the depth chart. Against the Rams, he threw 2 interceptions, with the second one taking points off the board for Cleveland. The second squad continues to struggle, coughing up three turnovers and scoring no points.

Coach Eric Mangini had this to say about the quarterback situation: "All of our guys have looked sharp in practice. When it comes to who's starting week one - that's still up in the air. [We] like what each guys brings to the table, but it's still too early to tell."

For St. Louis, Sam Bradford had a good first half, completing 10 of 14 passes and a 90.2 QB rating. Stephen Jackson ran for 79 yards on 18 carries. Backup quarterback A.J. Feeley almost put the Rams ahead late in the game, but threw a costly interception to Ray Ventrone. James Laurinaitis was knocked out of the game with an injury, but will be able to play again next week.

PRESEASON GAME #1 Stuck
04:24 PM - November 6, 2010. Written by da36chamberz
The Browns had a nice showing against the Green Bay Packers in their first preseason game. They won the game 36-30, but it wasn't as close of a contest as the score would indicate. When the first-stringers were on the field, Cleveland outscored Green Bay 23-3, thanks to two interceptions from Aaron Rogers (one returned for a TD by Eric Wright) and a fumble from Brandon Jackson. Green Bay, who was without key players Jermichael Finley and Ryan Grant, never seemed to get into rhythm.

For the Browns, Colt McCoy was the starting quarterback, and Jake Delhomme relieved him in the first half. Peyton Hillis also sat early in the game to avoid injury. Seneca Wallace was the QB for the second half, putting up some decent numbers, including a 78-yard pass to Demetrius Williams which put the Browns on top for good.

For the Packers, Matt Flynn torched the Cleveland reserves for 3 TD's, and almost led the Packers to victory with 27 points in the fourth quarter. Aside from Grant and Finley, Nick Barnett and Brad Jones also did not play - all four are out for the season.
