ESPN.com reported this evening that the Cleveland Browns have decided to suspend TE Kellen Winslow for one game following his harsh remarks about the way the team, and GM Phil Savage in particular, handled his recent hospitalization for a staph infection.
I'm not going to speculate about how this may be the most fascist management call of the 2008 season. But I am going to suggest that this may be the most boneheaded management call of the 2008 season. Despite the offensive explosion the Browns demonstrated against the Giants, they have since returned to their previously sub-par play. And now at 2-4, Cleveland needs to rediscover that explosive element immediately, or their promising season may be lost.
So if the goal is getting back to .500, why would you bench a guy like Winslow for anything short of a felony? The Browns have made it clear that Phil Savage's vanity is more important to them than fielding the best possible team. Fans and fantasy owners alike should take note.
