I never root for injuries in the NFL, but they are one thing in the game you can certainly bet on. You don’t tend to bet on them occurring via car crashes though, and that’s what happened to Cam Newton this week. It was an ugly crash and the result was a couple of fractures in Newton’s back. Obviously you hope Newton is alright and finds his way back from injury, but for Browns fans this has another meaning. Derek Anderson has been named starter this week as the Panthers face Tampa.
“The most important thing about this whole week and yesterday is the safety and health of one of my brothers, and I know we’re all thinking about him,” Anderson said. “As well, we’re all fired up about this weekend and the opportunity we have.”
Obviously I’m not rooting for Cam Newton’s injury to be any more serious than it is, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t kind of intrigued by the storyline of Johnny Manziel starting his second game against Derek Anderson and the Carolina Panthers. If Manziel and the Browns somehow manage to beat the Bengals, it could even have playoff implications.
The only way it could play out any more interestingly from my perspective is if the Browns beat the Bengals, beat Derek Anderson, and then got to face off against Brandon Weeden or Colt McCoy in the final week of the season. Alas, the Browns have the Ravens on the schedule.
If the Browns win the next two weeks, I guess I’ll just have to suffer with the possibility of the Browns keeping their playoff dreams alive in a game against the club that was ripped out of our city against our will so many years ago.

Lucky us it’s a road game … whew. (You think this is funny, Harv?)

Poor old clown shoes. He still hasn’t let go of that burning anger he had against the Browns fans. We, on the other hand, have long let go of the hate. After all, he’s just one on a list of 20+ turdtossers we’ve had.
“turdtosser?” I’d just say he was a turd.
were you just looking for a GIF with that kind of dancing or were you slyly implying something about “Tradition?”
(It actually works: “Who, day and night, must scramble for a living….” haha)
actually, this gif is from “If I Were a Rich Man.” A song Hoyer, unlike Haslam, can sing today without irony.
you had to go and ruin it with facts. who are you, Steve?
Whoa. Taking nerdosity to “the next level.” Way to “give 110 percent” and “leave it all on the field.”
I can’t control what GIFs people post. All I can do is annoy people with the random useless crap in my brain, one terabyte at a time.

I’m excited by the possibility and I’m taking this sh*t very serious.
where do you people find this stuff
Google, I was actually looking for a “I DON’T THINK ANYTHING IS FUNNY, I WAS NOT LAUGHING, I TAKE MY JOB SERIOUSLY” quote or picture. I don’t know why I posted a weeden photo lol.

I actually was thinking “wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles” and went looking for a Fiddler gif only to come across this one. I like your interpretation better though.
And I like this interpretation even more. Comment section at WFNY – the gift that keeps on giving.

dont be surprised when anderson does better than newton. here’s where newton’s ranks among qb’s since mid october.
That’s good company…
What if Manziel gets hurt and we have to sit through Hoyer vs. Anderson battle of awfulness…
