Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

Yeah, it seems like they're over reacting just a bit. It also seem like Winslow was kinda acting like a baby. Crying because he didn't get flowers and a teddy bear for his beloved GM?

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

he'll be gone by next season...hope not to the nfc east

Open mouth insert foot.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

Kind of bad about what he said, but come on. Way to just throw away your talent.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

I believe they over reacted, but remember we almost drafted this guy great talent but immature.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

I'm still waiting for the soldier to give us ours as per his promise when we took ST over him in 04. "Lied to my face," is it what he claimed, promising to pay us back that season. Of course after suffering a knee injury and motorcycle accident in consecutive years he wasn't even on the field to punish Gibbs for his duplicitousness. If I am not mistaken, Sunday would have been the promised day. To say he didn't deliver would be an understatement.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

Give him a break nemo. His little soldier was fractured.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

Unfortunatley ST is not hear with us but Winslow is. I would rather have a Sean Taylor for 4 yrs than a Kellen Winslow for 12yrs any day

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

I think all the things going on in the league should just remind us Skins fans how lucky we are that the our management and coaching situation is as strong as it is. Way to many teams seem like they are in disarray right now!

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

does anybody else here think that all the staph infections passed around in the browns locker room is kind of high?that's the issue nobody's talking about.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

The infection doesn't seem that high, unless you're part of the browns organization.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

Winslow IMO, has a right to be upset the organization was telling him to keep his staph infection secret. he also wanted to tell everyone because werent there rumors going around that he had inflamed testicles LOL? If people were saying that about me I would want to clear it up.

Seems like the Browns are trying to trade him, wonder if they will get any offers.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

It does seem absurd to suspend him for this. The house is on fire and they are looking to take it out on anyone they can.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

The Brown's facility was built on a landfill if memory serves. The recurring staph infections have been an issue there for years. The team brings in specialists to kill all of the bacteria every offseason and the same problem comes back. Not exactly an enticing proposition for free agents.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

Huge overreaction. obviously with all the staph infections.. something is really wrong in cleveland. they should seriously reevaluate their medical personnel. Kellen Winslow was drawing criticism for not playing and always being hurt and this "mystery illness", and the fact the browns tried to hide it to cover themselves is extremely irresponsible. is upset that they are actually suspending him for this.

anyways, i wrote about it in the blog i recently started. you can read it here if youre interested.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

i'm wondering if the league's medical staff is looking into this?are the browns the only team that uses the stadium?are there college teams or high school teams that use it?
that needs to be looked into!

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

I don't know if you guys remember, but the Redskins had the same problem a few years back

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

the browns need to take the steps the redskins did with the UV lights and retraining employees on the ways to stop MRSA before it kills somebody.my daughter's boyfriend got it a few years back when he was a senior in high school,it damn near killed him.
i'd hate to see anybody else get this and die from it.i hope the league takes notice.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

I remember quite a few years ago Greg Lloyd from the Steelers got a staph infection from a dirty needle the Steelers used on him. He almost died from this infection (remember how one game he was a beast and the next he disappeared and never came back) and the Steelers were incredulous when he spoke out and sought compensation for their neglect costing him his career. He did get some $ but not before the Steelers smeared his name all over Pittsburgh. These teams will always over react because its big business. Winslow was right in saying the Browns treated him like a piece of meat because they and all the teams treat the players like a piece of meat.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

Winslow was in the hospital for a week and they didn't check up on him. Yes he IS a man and should be able to take it, but you can't blame him for not feeling like part of the team from that. They fined him for saying that, pretty much proving him right that they don't have much respect for him.

Bad situation for the team and Winslow.

Maybe they'd treat him as part of the team if he could stay healthy and actually be around, but fining your player for such a statement is also ridiculous.

Isn't he the player who missed his rookie season because he hurt himself popping a wheelie on a bike?

Exactly. Winslow is a bit of a drama queen but he is 100% right on this one and he should take this to the commish. He gets suspended for telling the truth? Phil Savage looks like a little bitch on this. Total BS.

I remember it. Some guy we got from Dallas...I forgot his name, he was on the d-line. Didn't it end his career?

The last couple of years he has put up some big numbers while playing hurt and Clev. did not re work his contract.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

IMO there should be a league mandated standard for every team on prevention of staph infections. They are so dangerous. That 7-7 center for UNC Asheville just had part of his foot amputated due to staph, and it ended his career and nearly killed him in the process.

I saw a special on TV one time on staph prevention in team locker rooms. They literally have teams of people come in and spray every inch of the locker room/weight room/showers with some super duper anti-microbial stuff like once a week. I know the Skins do it now, as should every pro and college team.

As far as Winslow, to suspend him for this is BS. Maybe a fine for running his mouth about the front office, but a suspension is dumb.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

this is one in a long line of problems between winslow and the browns.according to nfl.com,the browns tried to trade him last week.he has made mistakes,but what kid does'nt?he should feel free to speak what he wants without worrying about it.i think the browns are just showing how pathetic and prissy they have become.

Re: Browns suspend Winslow one game without pay
 

I find it hard to feel bad for KWII on anything. The Browns were wrong in trying to cover this up no doubt. But for him to get fired up because one guy (GM Phil Savage) didn't call him when he was in the hospital... I say boo effing hoo.

i don't feel sorry for him,i just think the browns did an awful job of handling this.since this problem is popping up in locker rooms all over the league,i wish the league would get involved in this for christ's sake! this is some serious medical issues for people to be ignoring!

I'm pretty sure he figured he'd be a Skin also. So did everyone else when I was watching the Draft. I recall when Sean was selected, one of the commentators said something like...The Redskins just got their answer to Jeremy Shockey....something to that effect anyway. Damn, what a shame Taylor's gone.

gibbs coached winslow sr in san diego did'nt he?
