From CBS Cleveland

Brunswick Police received a call from the Ohio State Highway Patrol at 4:12 p.m. informing them that a Ford Mustang was chasing Gilbert’s Challenger on I-71 south. Sgt. Safran also said that they received several calls from other drivers on 71 to report the what they saw.

Gilbert exited onto State Rt. 303 and the Mustang, driven by a 55-year old Parma man, followed.

According to police, the incident was a result of one vehicle cutting off the other and the two allegedly exchanged obscene gestures. Gilbert also allegedly threw a cup of used tobacco juice out the window of his Challenger and it landed on the Mustang.

In an attempt to escape the pursuit of the Mustang, Gilbert drove through an industrial park and eventually crashed his Challenger into a drainage ditch on West 130th.


 

Have a day J.Gilbs!

What a week for your Cleveland Brownies, what a week! We’ve got coaches getting suspended for assaulting their fiancees; we’re trading our wide receivers for hurt running backs; our General Manager is suspended; and now this! It never ends.

Not a good look for our boy Justin here.

In fairness, if some 55 year old kook started following me and trying to run me off the road, I’d try to outrun him too. It would have been a much worse look if both men  would have gotten out of their car, confronted each other, got into an altercation, and ended up with Justin beating up some old dude. Not condoning what happened one bit, but this whole episode could have had a wayyy worse outcome. Thankfully no one was hurt.

Whatever. On to the Jets.

Browns Waive Terelle Pryor To Make Room For A Running Back Who’s Hurt. What?

What? Why? Why even have Terrelle Pryor make the 53 man roster and announce that he’s changing his number to 17… only to cut him the Thursday before the first game of the season? Why have your team Twitter account hype him up all preseason and have him be available to the media as much as he was this summer? What’s the point of cutting a player in your weakest position group to make room for a guy who won’t be ready to play till week 3 or 4? Why not just cut Pryor when the roster was getting trimmed to 53? This makes absolutely no sense. Such a Browns move to cap off a banner week.

I’m not saying Pryor would have made an impact at WR right away but that’s not why the Browns were keeping him. This was a long term project and everybody knew that. But to cut him for a player who won’t be ready to play for awhile? Eh… Why not cut one of our FOUR tight ends? Why not cut a defensive lineman at the bottom of the depth chart?

So, to recap- Browns keep Terrelle Pryor on the 53 man roster. Terrelle Pryor gets cut to make room for an active third running back. That “active” running back won’t be active for about a month.

Welp. At least Turbin lifts

Mike Polk’s Newest Video Will Remind You Of All Those Browns Jerseys You Regret Buying

Brady Quinn? Check.

Trent Richardson? Check.

Johnny Manziel? Check. (still relevant and still have faith though)

Those are my jersey skeletons hanging in my closet.

Go to the Muni Lot for one game this season and you’ll see the majority of these jerseys being worn proudly. I think in some way it’s a badge of honor among Browns fans. Like it’s a club of people with the mindset of “Yeah I spent $100 on this jersey but fuck it, I’ll support this team no matter if my jersey is relevant or not.” You see someone wearing a Quincy Morgan jersey and it’s hilarious, but then you realize you’re wearing a Jake Delhomme jersey and you can both laugh about how dumb you both are.

This brings up a conversation I just had this past weekend. My friend was in the market for a new jersey and we started discussing his options. Aside from Joe Haden, whose jersey would you go out and buy right now? Remember you have to consider their age, position, contract, production, etc. I said Kruger, Shelton, Hartline, or Crow. He decided on Gipson. Solid pick but before I agree with it let’s hope Gip is here for a couple years before I even think about dropping the cash to buy his jersey.
