Good for Phil Savage
By Rick Morris
At this time when mindless negativity is so popular among the Browns fanbase (I know, I know, when is it unpopular in the fanbase?), somebody went over the top in an email to Phil Savage.
In that missive, the person blamed Savage for a great many matters that are the province of the coaching staff before comparing this front office unfavorably to that of BUTCH FREAKING DAVIS.
[Frankly, anybody who compares the talent on this roster to what Botch (he of the man-love for Kelly Holcomb and the goof who only drafted out of his Miami Hurricanes recruiting shoebox) left behind has been lobotomized. The depth is still not good and the linebackers and corners need to be upgraded, but there is nothing wrong with this team on paper by and large, especially compared to other rosters in the league. If Miami and Atlanta can win with their rosters, this team surely could win with the right coaching staff.]
Savage responded with an oh-so-appropriate F you to the fair-weather fan. I'm glad he did. There are legitimate criticisms to be made and my bet is that most of those (starting with Coach I'm Thinking Arby's) will be addressed this offseason. But the incoherence, the hysterical tantrums and the childish inability to see the progress along with the more obvious bad things ... I myself don't have patience for any of that and Phil Savage deserves credit for standing up for himself in the face of such idiocy. If anybody wants to cry about it, tough toenails.

You came up with a whole blog based on an email that doesnt even look real?
Your ideas are about as accurate and biased as the moronic email itself.
i dislike butch davis also but he's done one thing that savage and crennel havent in the same amount of time in cleveland.
it is refreshing and hilarious to see a timmy couch supporter still buzzing around though.
I'd go into more detail but jesus christ this is just poorly written i need to find something better to do with my time.
Hey Anonymous:
^ Denying an email that Phil Savage himself publicly confirmed. CHECK
^ Criticizing my impeccable writing while barfing up something my five-year old niece would scorn. CHECK
^ Gloating over the meaningless one-and-done fluke playoff appearance of '02 under Botch. CHECK
Yep, you're a Holcomb supporter all right! Keep sucking down that Kool-Aid-flavored BBQ sauce!
