Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Ready For Number 22?


With the Cleveland Browns legitimately in the playoff picture for the first time in a long time, rookie Johnny Manziel got his first-ever NFL start in a crucial Game #14 matchup against the division-leading Cincinnati Bengals. He became the 21st quarterback to start a game for the Browns since 1999, and he could not have played worse in a 30-0 Bengal cakewalk.

Putting it charitably, "Johnny Football" was consistent -- consistently awful.  Meant to spark his team, he hurt them instead and the Browns are now all but eliminated from the postseason.  Makes you wonder what the team's "brain trust" was thinking by benching Brian Hoyer and handing the keys to Little Johnny with just three games left to play and everything on the line.  Hindsight is 20/20, but they shoulda danced with the one whut brung 'em.

And so, on to the next savior.  Get ready for Quarterback Number 22 (whoever he may be).

Fucking Browns!
