Lewis sticking to retirement plans
After the game in Chicago, Jamal Lewis was so upset with yet another pathetic team performance that he declared this would be his last NFL season. Wednesday, he said he had planning to retire, anyway. "The decision I made had nothing to do with this season, how it's going or whatever. It really didn't," Lewis said. "My whole decision was based on my [trucking] business and what I have going on outside of football and things that I want to be able to give 100 percent to. I can't do that right now because I'm here. I've got to give 100 percent to this."

It sounds like the man has outside interests and wants to make the move before he takes one hit too many and gets his brains scrambled. Good thinking, Lewis. Walk away with your head high and your health intact.

Hey Jamal, as long as you're focussing on your outside businesses, do you know where a guy can score a couple of keys?

meh. one of the few things brownie fans get enjoyment from during the season. 2010 looks bleaker than 2009, if that is even possible..

It's been that same song and dance for a long, long time. That is one sorry group led by a bunch of incompetent leaders. Sell the team and get some people into leadership positions who want to play football. Hire Gruden, Cowher or someone along those lines cause there are some really good players in Cleveland stuck in a messed up organization.

If he's already concentrating on his next job or career, he's by default not giving 100% to his current job or career -- namely the Cleveland Browns. So he should retire right now and never play another game. And if the trucking gig doesn't need him until January, that's fine, he can spend the rest of his unemployed year being a ****** and a thug.

Playing for the Browns means you've already retired.
