Not naming a starting quarterback doesn't help Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini
by John DeShazier, The Times-Picayune Tuesday September 08, 2009, 12:04 PM
Outside the Cleveland Browns locker room - and, perhaps, inside the Browns locker room - no one yet knows who Coach Eric Mangini selected as his regular-season starting quarterback for Sunday's opener against Minnesota.

What, exactly, is Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini accomplishing by not naming a starting quarterback this week.And some NFL coaches wonder why people believe they take themselves a little too seriously.

Obviously, all the comparisons to football being war, references to games being epic battles and strategizing sessions that last hours upon hours have had a cumulative effect, to the point where the military at least should consider suing over naming rights. The NFL boasts of "war rooms" and fights "in the trenches" and coaches practice a level of subterfuge that'd be amusing if they didn't seem to take such pride in it.
