Willie McGinest on Sirius Radio Posted: 19 Jun 2008 07:15 PM CDT I got a heads-up from my friend Jon that Willie McGinest was going to be on Sirius Radio this afternoon, but by the time I was able to tune in, I had juuuuust missed it. Fortunately, LeHooper was tuned in, and he summarized the interview for us on the Watercooler. Here's Hooper's recap: Willie: The Young guys are buying into the new program. I don't preach I set by example. Romeo put in the new system and we've all been buying into it. We're running more then we ever had on defense. We can attack more. We can contain or move depending on D. We cut down on lot of the checking that equals less thinking. Romeo been in all the defense meetings where in the past he wasn't.  Romeo wants to be more involved with the D. Shawn Rodgers surpassed lot of people expectations how he opproaching  the game.  Tim: Will Shaun have enough gas? Willie: If we're moving to the ball 100MPH we'll have subs come in and not lose a step. I never say I'm getting old just getting better We have high expectations, No way do we think its going to be a cake walk. We are doing the things great teams do. That's the little things. BTW, Hooper is a tailgating fiend who hangs out at "The Island" in front of the parking booths in the Muni Lot. You can check out his website here.

Newspapers Die First. Then the Internet. Posted: 18 Jun 2008 02:41 PM CDT There is a lot of recent news that will impact Browns and other sports fans on the internet, very little of it good. I think we're at The Empire Strikes Back stage of the internet. There are things going on now that are very, very bad for sports fans. The Associated Press and others want to remind you who the real bosses are, and they'll cut off your arm and let you drop into a bottomless tube if they have to.
