        I didn't know that general manager's past time was cussing and swearing at the fans or radio announcers.  Phil Savage had the nerve to suspend Kellen Winslow. He needed to suspend his self for the potty mouth that he has. Horrible game Sunday. Once again that was a game that should have been won by the Browns. How does and team start out ahead by three and get sloppy and let the other team steal the lead. This is so typical of the Browns. Something needs for be done. We should never have let this happen.

         I think that Cribbs should be put in as Quarterback. It can't hurt us anyone than we are now.   Write me and tell me what you think of the Browns? I would love to hear how you would turn this team around.

      I hope and pray that all of  you had a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. I was thankful for all my many blessings that I have received this year, and years before. I thanked  God for all the things that he has blessed me and my family with.

       I thanked him for my life. I love the holidays. I love it even more when people are just happy for the season and not for the material things.  Take time to thank God for all the blessing that he has given you...

             I HAVE BEEN SO BUSY LATELY, JUST WANTED TO DROP A NOTE AND SAY CONGRATS!!!! TO OBAMA FOR BEING THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.. I WAS TOUCHED AND MOVED THAT NIGHT; NOVEMBER 5TH WHEN THE NUMBER STARTS TO COME IN FOR OBAMA.  I WASN'T SHOCKED THAT OBAMA WON.  I VOTED FOR HIM. HE RAN A GREAT CAMPAIGN. HE SHOWED COMPASSION FOR THE PEOPLE.   HISTORY WAS MADE, FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT.

        I AM VERY PROUD.  IT IS ONE FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS.  I PRAY THAT  THE VISION THAT OBAMA HAS FOR THIS COUNTRY WILL COME TRUE. MANY DREAMS FOR THE COUNTRY CAN COME TRUE IF WE ALL WORK HARD AND DO OUR PART. I BELIEVE THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA DOES CARE DEEPLY FOR HIS COUNTRY AND WHEN HE TAKES OFFICE IN JANUARY; I BELIEVE THAT HE WILL WORK JUST AS HARD TO KEEP HIS PROMISES. 

                I was up yesterday at 5:00a.m. so I could get ready to cast my vote for all the issues and the next President of the United States Of America. I was moved to see how many people were out and ready to cast their vote. The lines were long. It was worth the wait. I cast my vote of Barack Obama. I am convinced that he is the man for the job. During his campaign he showed me that he is just a regular man that cares for the people of this country.  He is for the cause. His cause is to reach out to americans; that are having a difficult time. We are having problems in all of are government issues. We need the courage to stand and fight. He sees the vision of  what this country can be. I see the vision of what this country can be.

               I believe that many are called;but few are choosen to lead.  Leaders to me are god special gift to us. Barack has a gift to bring people together. Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, all nationalities.  History was made last night. I am so proud of him for being the first African America President. He worked so hard and he deserved this victory. I believe to change a situation you have to start with changing peoples thought about the situation.  Many want to be great leaders, but many  aren't meant to be a leaders. Together we can make a different " Together we Stand Divided We Fall"  May the lord bless and keep us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

         I am so tired of people talking about Obama is not  qualified for the job as president. The shape that this country is in; we should be glad to have any one run for president. It takes a lot of courage and  leadership skills to step up and say that I want this job. People act like Obama is going to do so much bad stuff to our economy. Don't forgot the large group of people called Congress.

       I think this presidential race has brought out some negatvitiy. This would not even be an issue for some if one of the canidiates wasn't a black man.  I see that two more men were arrested in connection with tryng to plot to shoot Obama.  What is wrong with people. Haven't we learned anything.  Obama is a smart man. He will be covered. God will protect him and be with him. If he is giving the opportunity to be the president, we should embrace this moment. This is a moment that are grandmothers and grandfathers  wanted to live to see. Some may have passed on and may never get to see the moment. Whites are not better than blacks and Blacks are not better that whites. We in gods eyes are all the same.

     I will be te first to tell you that I was not all that excited when President Bush ran and won the second term. I still believe that Kerry won that race. The Florida stuff can't happen this year. I believe a change is coming. I have to give credit where credit is do. I believe that Obama next to Bill Clinton is one of the best speech givers I have every seen.  Bill Clinton and Barack Obama know how to deliever a speech to Americans.

         I am a Obama Supporter because he is a democrate of course. I support all democrates.  We will rule the House in January. I have much respect for all the candiates who run a campaign; it can't be an easy task.   I hope that when this is all over that the best person did get the job. I hope and pray that this country will be given the chance to get back on track. I pray daily that we will see a better future.  I am ready to cast my vote on  Nov 4, ARE YOU READY AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think that it should be up for the player to release personal information to the public about their private life. Kellen had the right to tell how he feels about the situation. If he felt like a piece of meat. He had every right to say that. It is more to life than just  making money and making other people happy. What about making yourself happy for a change. I believe that you should love what you do as a profession and if you don't it is time to move on to something else.  I think the time has come for Mr. Winslow to move on. If you are not getting the respect you deserve; move on. If you are not getting the respect you deserve from the general manager then move on. You should not have to feels like a piece of meat for anyone. This player was in the hospital last week. Played on Sunday. Gave it his all. He is a team player. No compassion from people sad, sad , sad. Maybe that is why the team is so horrible at winning a game because they spend most of their time being rude and evil to others.

       A team is only good has its' coach and their coach ain't that good. Suspending Kellen Winslow won't solve the problem. This will only add to it. This team has already lost its greatest  asset.  The ability to find a good team and stick with them no matter what.

   I was very sadden when I was watching the news last night. The news reported that a 90 year old women shot herself after being served with forclosure papers for her home. This is sad. The government don't care about the home owners. This elderly women would rather died then to see her home taking from her. This needs to stop. This women should have owned her home. She was 90. She lived there for over 40 years.

      Gone are the days where buying a home was cheaper than renting one. I am disgusted with how the economy has went down and continues to get worse each day.  A 90 year old women should not have to worry about her home that she has worked so much for being taking for her. November 4th we have to change this; we have to help this country not hurt it anymore. I hope and pray that this 90 year old women will get well soon. I will continue to pray for her and this country to be healed... 

       It seems like OJ Simpson just can't stay out of trouble. 13 years ago he was acquitted for the murder of his ex- wife/wife Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman now he is headed back to jail for the robbery charges. It is ironic that it was 13 years ago that this happen. It is like what goes around comes around. It is like Karma is a bi---. I want to believe that OJ didn't kill Nicole,but with his track record it is hard.

      It seems like trouble follows him where ever he goes. It is like he can't use common sense that many people don't like him.  Why would he go and get armed robbery charges against him. How stupid was that. Well OJ you live and you learn. Let this be a lesson for you.

            Watching the debate between VP candiates Sarah Palin and Joseph Biden was very interesting. I am still not that impressed with Sarah Palin. She was very rude to me. When the mediator Gwen Ifill asked her questions, Palin decided that she was going to tell the American people about her track record. She totally didn't stick to the debate questions she was all over the place. She continued to do what she wanted to do through the entire debate.

        Biden stuck to the facts of the questions that were being asked for him. Although Biden maybe a little long winded with his answers; he is clear and precise on what he is saying. When watching Palin give her reponses to questions such as the war on Iraq and health care.  Palin uses the same old lines she has been using for weeks. Talking about how John McCain's health care package will help the American people. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! John McCain package wants to tax your healthcare.  Palin debate was well rehearsed. It seemed more like a written debate then one from the heart. I was very displeased of how she made a comment that Biden didn't know what felt like to be a working class person that has a family and trying to make ends meet. Mr Biden lost his wife and kid in a accident. Senator Biden had to be the mother and the father of his surviving son.

         I am so tired of hearing in Palin speeches stated that she is a average "Hockey Mom" We get you are a Hockey Mom. You need to move passed that Mrs Palin. Tell us what you will do as V.P.  We need fresh no ideals to take to the White House. A  change is coming and it won't be the Mavericks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Happy Fall to all!!!!!!!!!! I know you guys are so happy to see fall(yeah right). Leaves are falling and it looks so pretty outside. Although I am not looking forward to the winter that is just around the corner, I am looking forward to my favorite Holidays,  Thankgiving and Christmas.

     October has special meaning.  For those of you who don't know. This month is the Breast Cancer Awareness Month, also Speak Out Against Domestic Violence.  Support these causes in anyway that you know how. Be there for those in need. Lets stick together and fight for these to causes. Together we can all make a difference.. Have a good Fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Last weekend I started watching the Browns game. At the beginning, it looked like they possible could win the game. They were ahead by 1o,I believe. I was not shocked that they got their butts beat. The browns are missing the  touch that they need to win a game. Anderson needs to sit the next game out. Romeo should put Quinn in the game. What is wrong with the coach? Don't you see if something is not working you make changes to improve the game. Duh!!!!!!!!!!

       During the press conference Romeo seems to have an attitude when asked will  Quinn or Anderson be starting.    In my opinion Romeo is not a good head coach for the team.  Stability and a good quarter back is what we need. Anderson has been showing us what he has. It is clearly not working for us. A change is good. I know this team can win more games than they do. Something needs to be done and fast.

      You never know how blessed you are until you have been tested. The storm that hit us all on Sunday was more than I thought it was. From inside it looked like nothing more than some trees blowing and leaves rustling across my front yard.

    My power went out on Sunday and it has not been on since. You think that being without power is bad. Nothing is bad compared to the people who have lost their roofs or their entire homes, cars or other items. It is weird how some times we take things for granted. Sight is a thing we should never take for granted. We have flash lights and can see in our homes. How about people that are blind. Being in the dark is normal for them. Some complain of a few days in the dark. I am blessed that the lights will come on in my home and I can enjoy the things that I have missed this week. But never forgot that material things can be replaced.  What the storm showed me and my family this week is that we are survivors.  We are  who we are and not for what we have.

     Watching the Republican Convention this week I was not impressed. We as a country deserve better.  I can't believe the speech that Palin gave earlier this week. Sarah Palin had a well written speech,to bad she didn't write it herself. I listened to her bash Obama about not having enough experience to lead this country. Well who are you Miss Palin.  You have only been a Govenor since 2006.

       Republican party has there facts wrong. Obama is a Senator. As a Senator you work for the people. You create laws you write proposal and have meetings with Congress on different issues. Palin speech only wise cracks at the Obama campaign. I would like to have seen her speech more heart felt. Stick to the issues. Calling  yourself a "hockey Mom"; That is fine but we need to see the real Palin. What I saw the other night is a person that is not showing her  real self.

        It is one thing to want to be the first women VP of the United States,but it is another to be qualified for the job. She is not ready for this job. First off she needs to take care of what should be the most important thing in her life next to God. Her family life proves that she and her husband have dropped the ball. A seventeen yr old daughter, who is pregnant. I baby that has down syndrome; he will require  her attension more than ever. What is she thinking. Clean up your problems in your family before you decided to get involved with ours. PALIN, PALES IN COMPARISON TO OBAMA!!!!!
