Around the Pound (2/6): Stallworth's Reinstatement, Former Browns in Super Bowl

We're just one day away from the Super Bowl, where the Indianapolis Colts will square off against the New Orleans Saints. Preliminary details indicate that SB Nation would like to try out something unique for the game thread of the Super Bowl. Basically, this is how it will work. Because the Colts and the Saints are the two Super Bowl teams, those two blogs will host their own game threads.

All other SB Nation NFL blogs will point their users toward a "cumulative" Super Bowl game thread over at SBNation.com. This means that instead of just commenting with fellow Browns fans, you could be talking to some of the fans from Arrowhead Pride (Chiefs), Big Cat Country (Jaguars), Buc'em (Buccaneers), etc. While this might sound annoying for some of you, if you planned on stopping by the DBN game thread to begin with, I encourage you to at least stop by this thread to take part in this experiment.

Now, onto today's edition of Around the Pound!

Stallworth to be Re-Instated After the Super Bowl

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that WR Donte Stallworth will be reinstated following the Super Bowl. The new front office hasn't made a public commitment as to what they will do with Stallworth, but odds are that he will be cut prior to March 20 when he is due a $1 million bonus. That gives the Browns a little over a month to make a final decision.

Former Browns Players in the Super Bowl

From what I can recollect, these are the former Browns players who will participate in the Super Bowl:

Saints

Colts

It's not an extremely impressive bunch, but it's our "representation." Moore was an UDFA with the Browns in camp in 2005, Kyle was taken in the expansion draft, Dinkins was the tight end Romeo Crennel and Jamal Lewis loved, and everyone should remember Stover.

Information on Browns Season Tickets

In summary, season ticket prices will not increase for the 2010 campaign. Additionally, season tickets will now be available in the stadium's "Family Zone."

 "Having faced the Browns several times in Cleveland as a head coach, I know what a home field advantage our stadium can provide," said Browns President Mike Holmgren. "We're excited about continuing to build the type of team that our fans can be proud of.  I know that they will be an integral part of any success that we have and that is why we are pleased to keep our ticket prices as affordable as possible for our fans."

Off-Beat Notes

  • It's been discussed here before, but I continue to get infuriated with the stupid and/or disrespectful comments over at Cleveland.com. I know what to expect from there, but any time I read an article, I still scroll down to the comments with the false hope that maybe, just maybe I'll read somebody who will even post an ounce of the insight that can be found in the comments on this site.
  • I dug the two-hour season premiere of LOST. Before the show started, earlier that day I saw a headline that said something like "read about LOST's brain-liquefying premiere." Brain-liquefying was the perfect term, because that's what I felt like was happening to me upon the initial "what!?!" of the parallel timelines. Upon reading fan theory following the show and checking out Lostpedia.com, watching the show for the second time last night helped me see some of the details I missed the first time around.
  • How about all of that snow, Clevelanders? There's nothing funner than playing a little football in it; doing it this morning with the wind blowing non-stop for several hours straight doesn't have an affect when your adrenaline is going and you're layered up.

Question about the shared Super Bowl discussion thread- what Rule will be followed regarding the use of titles?

Will probably

be something like this.

I don’t post during games, but I like to follow the thread here. The bold titles are too distracting for me, and I wonder if the common thread will achieve the cameraderie we are accustomed to seeing.

On another note – will any team sign Stallworth?

Stallworth is going to be a Bengal.

Calling it right now.

That’s a good prediction. And not just because it’s the Bengals and they’ve had law breakers.

If you're at the table and you don't see a sucker..... you're it.

I bet Buffalo pays him to keep him on.

We can only wait and see what happens to that guy.

You’re not tired of the Raider/Bengal stereotype?

Stallworth is almost too perfect for the Raiders. Fast 40, low level of production, injury concerns.

As long as we don’t have Stallworth’s last 2 years of his current contract on our cap, I don’t care where he is.

by rufio on Feb 7, 2010 4:03 AM EST up reply actions  

Good riddance

I won’t care either.

I see a lot of SB posters/team sites like using the bold titles none stop. It’s cool that we don’t. We’re not followers here.

I don’t actually think they ‘like it’. More like they think it’s needed. Surely they find it an annoyance too?

Maybe you guys can inject your subject-line venom on them Sunday. Either that, or they’ll think we’re a bunch of assholes for trying to tell them how to post ;)

Let it be a BOLD Sunday.

haha I doubt it’s an annoyance to them. There are team sites that every single person does a bold title as there starter. ‘Athletics Nation’ (A’s blog), just to name one. It’s pretty funny to me.

Good luck with the experiment.
NFL.com reports anonymous sources have predicted that Stallworth will be let go. Good thing we have Mohammed Massaquoi, Mike Furrey and Evan Morre. They constitute an at least reliable receiving corps, if we employ two running backs.
If the continuation of Stallworth´s career is truly permissible, I wish him good luck in dealing with the guilt and his ambitions in the NFL.

by mooncamping on Feb 7, 2010 8:19 AM EST reply actions  

There was a cleveland.com article that mentioned the front office had already decided on releasing Stallworth, and that it could happen anytime before the bonus is due.

by Roger Dorn on Feb 7, 2010 1:24 PM EST reply actions  

 could be another Project for the Philly Eagles, hmmm?
