The top 10 ways Wednesday could have been worse for Browns fans
While all of us who bleed brown and orange are hanging our heads over center LeCharles Bentley's season-ending injury, things could have been worse.
1. Butch Davis could still be the coach. He would have described LeCharles' injury as a "minor setback" and added that LeCharles success (with other teams) was the result of the system he imposed for LeCharles this season.

2. Dick Vermeil could be the Browns coach. Imagine the rivers that would have been cried during the press conference.

3. Carmen Policy could still be in charge. Called away from his wine garden, he would have put a positive spin on things by saying Bentley was "the nicest guy the doctor ever met."

4. A quick question: Did Reuben Droughns fumble on the practice play? No.

5. Bentley could have been a Steeler. Then he would have been healed and on the field by Friday. Maybe that's not worse.

6. Bentley could have taken the play off, like some linemen in the team's past. Yes, he got injured. But at least he's showing effort. And he was putting some good swings on the ball. Oh wait, Indians manager Eric Wedge-mode off.

7. At least Bentley didn't make us all excited before getting hurt. Jamir Miller gave us a quarter of excitement in the 2002 preseason before blowing out his ACL. At least Bentley made it quick.

8. Bentley could have called a press conference and admitted his injury came because he quit on his team. Then Romeo Crennel could reward him for his honesty. Man, this Indians-mode has me all screwed up.

9. David Modell could have owned the Browns, then ... David Modell could have owned the Browns. What is worse than that?

10. I stole this one from Matt Sussman: Be thankful the Cleveland LePlayer who got LeInjured was LeCharles Bentley.

Oh, and apoligies to Erik for using some of his format. I figured I'd give it a shot.
