A WASTE OF THREE HOURS. ANOTHER DAY RUINED.

WORST QUARTERBACKING IN NFL HISTORY.

There should be no rejoicing over that abomination. As a matter of principle, the Browns should protest the victory over the Buffalo Bills. Like a Christmas sweater, they should return the win to the league and declare it a loss. It should be a loss for both teams.

The Bills were the worst-coached team I have ever seen. Both teams had the worst quarterbacking.

Game balls only to both punters and Jamal Lewis.

Here's one of the most dedicated coaches I've ever known. Greg Urbas, St. Ed's freshman football coach (you know him also as head wrestling coach), drove to Cincinnati this past Friday to scout St. Xavier, the next opponent. He drove back after the game, stopping for a two-hour nap at an I-71 rest stop, getting back to school at 5 a.m. At 7 a.m. he left with the freshman team for Erie, Pa., where they played the Cathedral Prep freshmen at 10 a.m. Saturday night I saw him at the annual "Wings Auction" fundraiser in the school gym.

I'm going to be busy this week with a wedding. Son Joe, 28, is getting married this coming Saturday to Jeana Kuhn. I hope she doesn't change her mind between now and then. This is another reminder that Cleveland is just a big small town. Jeana's grandfather was the late Jerry Kuhn, whom I covered back in the 1960's when he was the backer of the world-class Kwik Car Wash softball team in the Parma Major. I was looking forward to reminiscing with Jerry about those years when he was the host team for two world tournaments at State Road Park, but sadly he died early in the summer.
