If Only It Were So Simple...

...we can't just fire our Mike Brown.

Good move by Cleveland, about 5 years too late.  I suspect after this offseason we will file this move under the category of closing the barn door after the horse has already escaped.  At the very least, we know one of the conditions Lebron wanted to stay was for Mike Brown to leave. 

It's like the sports equivalent of those "you know how I know you're gay" jokes from 40 year old virgin...you know how I know you're a shitty coach, Mike Brown?  Because Lebron felt he had no choice but to ask for you to be fired lest he jeopardize his career.

We'll see if moves like this are enough for Lebron to stay.

Anyway, Mike Browns just suck at things.  Can anyone find an example of a Mike Brown excelling at anything?

My heart jumped out of my chest this morning when I heard ESPN radio announce that Mike Brown had been fired. HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!!! Then, sadly, a half second later I realized it was the wrong Mike Brown, wrong sport even. CURSE YOU, MIKE BROWN!!!

Oh wait, wasn't there a slightly above average safety for like 2 years with Chicago named Mike Brown?

So we have at least one non-sucky Mike Brown. Great.

I guess that is why there are no comments yet...LOL

The Mike Brown referenced above, who had a few good years before spending 5 consecutive years unable to play an entire season, and getting dumped to the Chiefs. Suckiness actually up for debate.

And that's just football.

Never a full-time starter in 11 seasons in the NBA, Brown played on the side with "Teamsystem Bologna" in Italy to get on the court more.

Hey, you vile venom-spewers!

Cedric Benson, Tank Johnson, Larry Johnson, Jeremi Johnson, Matt Jones, Adam Jones, and (post-humously) Chris Henry all want you to know that Mike Brown is tremendous at giving second chances, whether they're warranted or not!

So he doesn't suck at that!

Extremely disappointed if any one who reads this website roots for the Cavs. Even more disappointed in people who read this website and are not fans of the Reds.

[Jermdog]

Unfortunately, MFB excels at screwing people over (Hamilton county and Cincinnati), giving people too many chances, making piss poor choices with personnel, eating at Denny's... oh yeah, and at making a crap load of money.

He should have been blown up with Riverfront Stadium!
