Mexico - Grand Bay Isla Navidad / In December we went on our first photo shoot in Mexico, to the resort on Isla Navidad. The small peninsula is on the southern Pacific coast of Mexico, a country to which we had previously never traveled.

Mesozoic Era

Dinosaurs / The Cenozoic is the most recent of the three major subdivisions of animal history. The other two are Paleozoic and Mesozoic. We are in an era called the Cenozoic Era. The dinosaurs lived in the Mesozoic Era.The periods in the Mesozoic era were: Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. The Mesozoic era ended 65 million years ago. T-Rex, one of the last dinosaurs, lived in the Cretaceous era.The periods in the Cenozoic era are: Early Tertiary, Late Tertiary and Quarternary.We are in the Quartenary period.Did you know that some dinosaurs were herbivores ? These are some herbivorous dinosaurs sorted by period:Archosaurs : These lived in the Triassic period. Some types of archosaurs are Chasmatosaurus, Stagonlepis, Desmatosuchus.Here are some Dicynodonts: These also lived in the Triassic period. They died out very early. Here are some types of dicynodonts: Placerias, Sinokanneymeria and Lystrosaurus.Here are some herbivourous dinosaurs from the Jurassic period: Saltasaurus, Titanosaurus and Tenontosaurus.Here are some herbivourous dinosaurs from the Cretaceous period: Brachiosaurus, Triceratops, Zuniceratops and Omeiosaurus.Some dinosaurs ate other dinosaurs. Here are a few types of carnivorous dinosaurs: T-Rex, Adasaurus and Acrocanthosaurus.No one knows what colors dinosaurs had. They guessed the colors by studying the environment where it lived.

Mike Cameron

Brewers showing interest in Cameron / Though it seems to make little sense on the surface, a source confirmed to me this evening that the Brewers are showing interest in signing free agent centerfielder Mike Cameron. The Brewers supposedly are looking for a left-handed hitting leftfielder. Cameron is a right-handed hitting centerfielder. Cameron also has been suspended for the first 25 games of the 2008 season for testing positive for a banned stimulant at the end of last season. To draw a 25-game suspension for using stimulants, a player has to test positive twice. Pursuing Cameron could mean the Brewers are planning to move Bill Hall from center field to third base and Ryan Braun from third to left. General manager Doug Melvin, who has not returned telephone calls, has been looking at both third basemen and leftfielders this off-season. Cameron, 35, batted .242 with 21 home runs and 78 RBI in 151 games with San Diego last season. His on-base percentage was low -- .328 -- again going against what the Brewers have said they are looking for this winter. Cameron also struck out 160 times last season -- the fourth-highest total in the NL. The Brewers already strike out too much and that's why Melvin said he was looking for a high on-base player. Add it all up -- right-handed hitter, a centerfielder, low OBP and a player who will have to sit out the first month -- and it all seems very curious. But I trust the source I talked to that the Brewers are showing serious interest in Cameron.

Cameron deal in place, pending physical / The Brewers won't be officially announcing the signing of free agent centerfielder Mike Cameron today because the deal is contingent on him passing a physical. It's my understanding that physical will be Monday. But I've talked to people familiar with the deal and here's what I know. Cameron will get a $1.25 million signing bonus and a $5 million salary in 2008. But, because he is suspended for the first 25 games of the season for testing positive for a banned stimulant, he won't be paid for those games. So, instead of the $5 million, Cameron actually will make around $4.22 million in salary. A season is based on 180 days of play and Cameron will miss 28 days ($27,778 per day). Barring postponements, he'll be eligible to play his first game on April 29 in Chicago. The Brewers hold a $10 million option on Cameron for 2009 with a $750,000 buyout. So, if he plays for them one year, the Brewers' financial commitment will be the $1.25 million signing bonus, $4.22 million in actual pay and the $750,000 buyout, which comes to $6.22 million. And here's something else that was made clear to me by folks in the know. This is not the precursor to another deal. The plan is to move Bill Hall from center to third and Ryan Braun from third to left field, and both players have been told that. In the first 25 games without Cameron, look for the Brewers to use backup outfielders such as Tony Gwynn Jr. and Gabe Gross in center. Corey Hart will stay in right and Braun in left. This makes the Brewers a very right-handed-hitting team but they just couldn't find a left-handed hitter they felt did as much for them as adding Cameron. The major emphasis of this move is to improve a defense that ranked 13th in the NL last year, which certainly didn't help the pitching staff. Check out my story in the JS tomorrow morning for more details.

Artist’s Photos of Gay Men with Muhammad Masks Censored, Pres. Bush to Receive Bible Illustrations, M.F. Hussain to Create 99 Islamic Works / (Above) How is Islamic art effecting the lives of New Yorkers and is helping to bridge the gap between people of different faiths, from Beyond the Headlines. More problems are arising between Dutch artists and Muslim critics. This time, Sooreh Hera (a pseudonym) has photographed gay, nude men wearing Muhammad masks. She is in hiding, and the images have been removed. [Times, UK, HT: artforum] On a trip to Yad Vashem, Pres. Bush will receive a replica of Carol Deutsch’s illustrated Bible. The Pope received similar gifts. [European Jewish Press, Jerusalem Post] M.F. Husain, 92, could easily retire without being called a quitter. Instead, he has earned a commission from the wife of the Emir of Qatar of 99 (for God’s 99 names) paintings in a series called “History of Arab Civilization” for the new Museum of Islamic Art in Doha.

Hip Hop Abs

Hip Hop Abs- Dance Till Your Knee Falls Off / Well it’s finally happened. I need dance sneakers ASAP! I’ve been wearing my running sneakers that I got last year just after getting back from vacation in …. like… who knows when really. So the sneaks are probably on their last lace, and I’m hopping around like a crazy person on them. Last night I did the Fat Burning Cardio Level 2. I think that will be the last time I do that until about Monday or Tuesday. I was done and my knee felt like jello. I’ve had some problems with my left leg; a cyst on the back of my knee- which gets bigger and smaller from time to time. A hairline stress fracture on my foot. Two years ago my doctor gave me a do or die scenario, and I think I chose to die instead. I needed physical therapy for the fracture and instead I went to ballroom class.  I never went to PT. My leg has also been randomly swelling up to the point where I thought I had a blood clot! But again, the doc suggested PT! So I decided to do a Hip Hop Abs challenge instead! At any rate, my knee was toast last night and very sore when I got up today. But I really am feeling a big difference in my abs so far, and my thighs I swear are smaller! So although I am excited over that, I am worried I may do some serious damage to my knee. This morning I had a “dance lesson”. In February I am performing a couple of dance numbers at my father’s fundraiser show. We have the mambo, foxtrot, and then a showcase number. Our showcase number is going to be A-MAZ-ING! I can not divulge any secrets to that so far because it is so good, it has to be hush hush. But my first foxtrot lesson went very well. I picked up a lot of steps right away, and some I just over think and screw up on. But learning the foxtrot was always one of my big dance goals, beside the Viennese Waltz. But right now, as I am massaging my knee I am only thinking one thing. How to make it to February. No more HHA until Monday at least because we are going to practice again in the morning. Wish my left knee good luck!

Hip Hop Abs- Day 3 / Today I am sick as anything. The Pats won last night against the Giants in a nail biting game, I got home late, I was tired. And yet here I am doing Hip Hop Abs like a hard core work out addict. Sort of. I woke up this morning cranky, stuffy, and unwilling to do just about anything. I went to Hannafords to buy syrup and Cold and Cough Drops (really the best thing for a cold!) and then came home and put on my workout clothes. My measurements today were 26.5 inches in the waist, 36 inches in the hips, and 19 inches around each thigh. I am aiming for the goal of just an inch lost in both my waist and hips. Hopefully it won’t take that long because today I am so not feeling it! Well I popped in the DVD and began dreading the coming booty popping and bouncing around. I was dying, it was tough, I was stuffed up and only breathing out of my mouth. All the jumping and popping… the tilt, tuck, tighten, breathe… dang it was hard! But I sweated and suffered through it. I felt much better after and am realy feeling the results. Now if only I could lay off the cookies, they would probably be much better, even by only doing the 45 minute cardio workout three days in a row.

Hip Hop Abs- A New Challenge / I finally got the Hip Hop Abs second level for Christmas. Santa in the form of sisters brought me the 3 workout DVD- it has Total Body Burn, Fat Burning Cardio, and the Ab Sculpt. I have been waiting for it, as the first level is quickly becoming a little too easy and less of a Hip Hop Ab fun filled dance party and more of a, “when is this going to be over??” When I did the work out for the first time last night, I thought I was going to die right there in my living room. Hopping, jumping jacks, running, thrusting, it was all in there and it was all painful. Good pain yes but I was dying! Anyway, my challenge is to do HHA five days out of the week, at least one of the workouts if not more. I want to lose one inch from my waist and get my bum back into gear. I am also going to add in the extra challenge of practicing for a show that I have coming up in February. I am an Amateur “professional” ballroom dancer. I took lessons for a few months and have continued privately with my teacher/boyfriend who is a professional ballroom dancer. We are performing at my fathers’ annual benefit for the arts in my hometown. I will be tracking my progress here, as well as any noticeable differences I see in my abs. Perhaps there will be a few pictures up as well! Wish me luck!

Jacobs Field

MY CLAIM TO FAME AT JACOBS FIELD / MY CLAIM TO FAME AT JACOBS FIELD BY ALICE MILLER MY OLDER SISTER It was the second week of September, 2007. The assistant superintendent of our school system sent out an email saying he had three tickets and a parking pass for Friday night�s Indians game. The Tribe was going to play the Kansas City Royals. I immediately responded to his email and was awarded the tickets. I was so excited. I have never witnessed a game from the bleachers before. I had been to 5 games this season already�..but each game had its own sense of excitement for the fans and the city of Cleveland. The Cleveland Indians were winning more games since the All-Star Break. There have been more late-inning rallies; big number innings; and exciting walk-off hits. There were kids games, music and contests, the WAVE and more importantly the PIE IN THE FACE of one of the heroes of the night of a winning game. Jacobs Field was ROCKIN� ! I invited my daughter, Christine and her friend, Ramona to go to the game with me. We found our seats (GREAT SEATS) and settled in. Christine said �Mom, if the ball comes out here we will put down our drinks and catch the ball.� It started to drizzle. Did that stop us true fans?? NO !! We sat there with our umbrellas and it shortly stopped raining. By the fifth inning, it was 4-1 Kansas City. The Indians came back with 2 in the seventh and one in the eight. TIED AT 4. Casey Blake connected with the ball. I heard Ramona say that the ball was headed our way. I looked up and saw the little white baseball getting BIGGER AND BIGGER, heading right for our section. I reached up for the ball and my loving daughter grabbed me and pulled me back so I would not get hurt (yea, sure). I kept reaching down to the floor where the ball landed from the row behind. I felt it, I almost had it in my grasp. I lost it!! Some young dude behind me managed to capture the ball. YOUNG is the key word here. We were so excited!! The Indians had another walk off home run. The fans were going crazy especially in the bleachers. We turned around to watch the scoreboard and saw Casey Blake getting a pie in the face. To top it off, we enjoyed the fantastic fireworks display that Jacobs put on for Fireworks Friday. I had my DVR on the television set to record the game and after game show. When we got back to my house, I found that clip and played it again and again. There was Christine pulling me out of the way to protect me. What a Sweetie!! It is also on Indians.com. Go to search- type in Blake- multimedia-Sept. 14 400k. You can�t miss us. My daughter is the one in the blue jacket and white hat pulling an old lady to safety! Oh yes, Christine has Dad�s Indians hat. I am going to wear it to the game this Thursday against the Red Sox. GO TRIBE. Win one for JOHN BEAUDRY. I miss you Daddy.

Todd Grantham

Heroes & Zeroes: Week 16 / The Cleveland Browns obviously enjoy celebrating Festivus just as much as I do. The only explanation for the egg that the Browns laid against the Bengals is that they felt their exuberant and burgeoning fan base was short on grievances. The Browns certainly succeeded; come Sunday night, there was no dearth of grumbling in the homes of the Cleveland faithful.The loss cost the Browns control of their own destiny, and now the only game that matters in regards to the Browns� playoffs hopes is the Colts/Titans contest on Sunday night. Feel free to join me and write Jim Sorgi a �good luck� email. J-Bone, we�ll all be pullin� for you!This Week�s ZeroesFive Demerits: Derek AndersonThere�s not much to say about Anderson�s awful performance that hasn�t already been written. Derek Anderson lost the game for the Browns about as single-handedly as you will ever see a player lose a game in the NFL. Anderson threw four interceptions against the Bengals, while he had a total of four turnovers in the previous three games combined.Anderson�s poor play is more disappointing than anything. By all accounts, Anderson has not corrected the problems that plagued him both in college and during the first two years of his professional career; he has trouble reading a defense, he forces passes into heavy coverage, he has no touch on short passes, he bird-dogs receivers and doesn�t always go through his progressions, and he can be rattled when things don�t go his way. More than anything, it�s Anderson�s inability to improve on his weaknesses and learn from his mistakes that is disturbing.You can try to sell me on Anderson�s rocket arm until the cows come home, and I�m well aware that having a strong arm is important. But I don�t just want a quarterback who can throw, I want a quarterback who can think. Bernie Kosar had a great arm, but he won games between the ears. Kosar was able to read defenses like a book, and like a great chess player, he was able to see a few moves ahead of the defense.The great contemporary quarterbacks don�t just win because they have the strongest arms, they win because they�re also extremely intelligent. Peyton Manning has a great arm, but he also plays the Colts� offense like a piano as he audibles at the line of scrimmage, tweaking routes and blocking schemes. Tom Brady doesn�t have the best arm in the game - far from it - but he�s an intelligent player who almost always makes the correct decision when the game is on the line.If arm strength was everything, then guys like Kyle Boller, Aaron Brooks, and Jeff George would have had Hall of Fame careers. There�s no doubt that Anderson has the physical tools to be a great quarterback, but until he gets the mental part worked out, he�ll never break through into that upper echelon of NFL signal callers.Four Demerits: Bob BratkowskiBob Bratkowski has been the Cincinnati Bengals� offensive coordinator since 2001 and is one of the few holdovers from the Dick LeBeau regime. It�s tough to argue with the job Bratkowski has done in the last few seasons, because the Bengals have been very productive on offense, even when Jon Kitna was under center. But nobody is to blame more that Bratkowski for letting the Browns climb back into the game late in the second half.Holding a 19-7 lead early in the fourth quarter, Bratkowski kept calling for Carson Palmer to throw the football, when sitting on the ball to run the clock would have been a much wiser choice. Had the Bengals simply run the football until the Browns stopped them and forced a punt, they could have avoided Palmer�s second interception and burned valuable minutes off of the clock.This situation was eerily reminiscent of the Browns/Jets game on December 9th, during which Rob Chudzinksi kept calling for the Browns to throw the ball late in the game when sitting on the football and burning the clock was probably the smart move. In both cases, had the offense simply run the football and punted, there wouldn�t have been enough time left for the opposing team to mount any semblance of a comeback.Three Demerits: Carson PalmerCarson Palmer has owned the Browns during the last few seasons. In his last three games against Cleveland (prior to Sunday), Palmer averaged over 342 passing yards and threw for 11 touchdowns. This time, Palmer threw for only 115 yards, and posted just one touchdown against two interceptions.Cincinnati�s offensive line has had its problems this season, but they got the job done against the Browns, yielding no sacks and opening up enough holes for the Bengals to average over 4.6 yards per carry. Considering that the Bengals ran the ball 12 more times than they threw it, that 4.6 YPC number is very impressive. Considering how well the Bengals� offensive line performed, Palmer must bear the onus of the Bengals� poor air attack.And while Bob Bratkowski must be blamed for continuing to call passing plays, it was Palmer, not Bratkowski, who threw two interceptions in just 21 attempts. Hopefully the Browns can carry the momentum of their defensive success against Palmer into the 2008 season.Two Demerits: Dave ZastudilThe game started out well for the Browns. Cleveland�s defense stopped the Cincinnati offense, forcing a punt. The Browns then drove from their own 10-yard line to the Bengals� 22, where they were set to attempt a field goal until punter Dave Zastudil mishandled the snap. It was still a 40-yard field goal, far from a guarantee given the extremely windy conditions, but considering what Phil Dawson accomplished just one week prior against Buffalo, he had a legitimate shot of making the field goal.True, it was only three points, but it could have completely changed the dynamics of the game. The field goal would have given the Browns the lead, and maybe they wouldn�t have been so aggressive at the end of the first half. And even if everything else happened just the same, the Browns would have needed only a field goal to win the game on their final drive, which would have completely changed things. Coulda, woulda, shoulda�One Demerit: Chad JohnsonTo a certain degree, this is me venting on Chad Johnson for the entire season. Johnson dropped a few key passes against the Browns, and while Johnson�s �07 numbers appear to measure up to his 2006 statistics, he hasn�t scored with the same consistency in 2006 and 2007 that he did from 2003 to 2005. In fact, 10 of Johnson�s 12 touchdowns over the last two seasons have come in just four games.Part of Johnson�s declining scoring numbers can be attributed to the emergence and continued development of TJ Houshmandzadeh, who may be a better receiver than Johnson, and is certainly a more potent red zone threat. But it seems that Johnson�s antics have worn on the Bengals and especially on Marvin Lewis. Chad Johnson might be wearing out his welcome in Cincinnati, and rumors have been swirling that the Bengals may attempt to trade Johnson in the off-season.It might not be a bad move; Johnson is no spring chicken (he turns 30 in early January), his numbers appear to have peaked and may in fact be declining, and his elaborate scoring celebrations and eccentric interviews give the team headaches. With capable replacement Chris Henry waiting in the wings, and solid youngster Glenn Holt ready to take Henry�s spot in the slot, the Bengals could afford to part ways with Johnson, and it might help them plug some holes on defense or the offensive line.And one more thing: why do Johnson�s antics get a free pass from the national media? Personally, when players score, I like to see them act as if they�ve been to the end zone before and simply return to the sidelines. But if a guy feels inclined to celebrate, then a dunk over the goalpost, a leap into the stands, or spiking the football are all perfectly fine. Here�s the problem with what Johnson does: he does it knowing that he�s going to cost his team 15 yards, and he does it anyone. Chad doesn�t care about hurting the team with a penalty, he wants to get himself on SportCenter. I have no patience for players that exhibit such high levels of selfishness.This Week�s HeroesFive Dog Bones: Leigh BoddenJust as Derek Anderson practically lost the game on his own, Leigh Bodden kept the Browns in the game almost single-handedly. After Cincinnati gained momentum early following the Browns� botched field goal attempt, Bodden put the kibosh on that momentum with his first interception. Bodden�s second interception deep in Cincinnati territory led to a Cleveland touchdown just three plays later.Bodden added four tackles, as he and Eric Wright impressively held TJ Houshmandzadeh and Chad Johnson to a combined six catches for just 69 yards. Bodden�s performance was all the more remarkable after he didn�t practice last week due to back problems.Four Dog Bones: Braylon EdwardsEdwards scored two touchdowns to become the all-time Browns leader in touchdowns by a receiver with 15, breaking Gary Collins previous mark of 13, which was set in 1963. Braylon�s breakout season continued against the Bengals, and with one game to go Edwards is currently sixth in the league in receiving yardage and second in touchdowns. Edwards, with 1,222 yards for the year, is also poised to break Webster Slaughter�s team record of 1,236 receiving yards, set in 1989. Before Edwards, Slaughter was the last Browns receiver to make the Pro Bowl (1989).Three Dog Bones: Shaun SmithSmith was one of the few players who even seemed aware that the Browns were just a win away from a playoff birth. Smith had his best game in Browns uniform, registering eight solo tackles while reeking havoc on his old teammates all game long.Smith, who has spent most of the year at defensive end, replaced the injured Ethan Kelley at nose tackle and filled in admirably. While the Browns are in desperate need of defensive linemen, they appear to have a very good lineman in Shaun Smith, and a very competent lineman in Robaire Smith. The Browns will need to determine where they want to use Shaun Smith next season, as an end or as the nose tackle. Regardless, this looks like another successful signing from Phil Savage�s terrific free agent class of 2007.Two Dog Bones: Jamal LewisHad Derek Anderson simply managed the game and limited his turnovers, this was a game that Jamal Lewis probably could have won on his own. Lewis was having his way with the Cincinnati defense, picking up 92 yards on 21 carries. Further illustrating the Browns� dominance on the ground were Jason Wright�s three carries for 38 yards. Lewis added five catches for 42 yards.Lewis has become a fixture in the Cleveland offense this season, and he�s earned a contract extension. As long as Lewis isn�t asking for the moon and the stars, the Browns would be foolish not to re-sign him. And it would be unwise to wait until the free agent period begins to negotiate with Lewis, who will definitely have high market value as one of the top free agent backs.Jamal Lewis isn�t going to be the Browns� featured back for the next five years because he�s just too old. But Lewis can buy the Browns some time, most likely a year or two, as they search for that franchise running back. As effective as Jason Wright and Jerome Harrison have looked at times, it�s unlikely that either runner could withstand the rigors of a full season receiving featured carries. The Browns need Lewis for at least another year, and beyond that he will have value as a power/goal line runner in a dual back system.Lone Bone: Todd GranthamGrantham has drawn the ire of fans this season for the defense�s inability to stop, well, anybody. But Grantham deserves credit for the job his defense did against Cincinnati. The Bengals dropped 45 points on the Browns back in week two, but the Cleveland defense wasn�t so porous this time around.The Browns gave up two touchdowns mainly because both scores were set up by Derek Anderson interceptions deep in Cleveland territory. In fact, the Bengals� two scoring drives were only 5 and 20 yards long, respectively.If Romeo Crennel doesn�t bolt for Miami, as the rumors have suggested he might, the Orange Man will almost certainly return next season. Unless he is fired, Grantham�s contract will keep him in Cleveland for the duration of Crennel�s tenure. One encouraging statistic: over the last five games, the Browns� defense has allowed an average of only 16.2 points per game.Fasion note: Grantham dresses completely in orange for every game, and as a result many have criticized Grantham�s �fashion sense.� Two things; one, �fashion sense� doesn�t have much bearing on one�s ability to coach NFL football, and two, Grantham dresses in Day-Glo orange not as a fashion statement, but to make it easier for his players to pick him out from the field so that he can relay the defensive signals to them.StandingsTotal Dog BonesOffensive Line---27Braylon Edwards---26Jamal Lewis---21Derek Anderson---17(t)Joshua Cribbs---17(t)Kellen Winslow---17(t)Net Dog BonesOffensive Line---25Braylon Edwards---22Kellen Winslow---17Joshua Cribbs---15(t)Jamal Lewis---15(t)Total DemeritsRomeo Crennel---30Derek Anderson---21Brian Billick---16(t)Defensive Line---16(t)Todd Grantham---14Net DemeritsRomeo Crennel---22Brian Billick---16Defensive Line---12(t)Todd Grantham---12(t)Rich Gannon---7(t)Willie McGinest---7(t)NFL Rules Committee---7(t)Dropping Like FliesThe Browns lost two good players to the Injured Reserve last week, Mike Adams and Ethan Kelley. Adams, a safety, was a big contributor on special teams and in select coverage packages. Kelley, who became the Browns� starting nose tackle when Ted Washington went on IR, had come into his own in recent weeks, and was one of the main catalysts for the Browns� resurgent pass rush.Up Next: 12/30, San Francisco, Cleveland Browns Stadium, 1:00After winning two straight games to start the year, the 49ers went on to lose 10 of 11. The Niners come to Cleveland the winners of two consecutive close games, but they�re uncertain of who will start at quarterback.San Francisco was already down to their third quarterback, Shaun Hill, a Maryland product who went undrafted, but Hill missed time in practice this week with back spasms. Hill is listed as questionable, and if he�s unable to go, Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke will get the nod. Weinke, the longtime Carolina Panther, hasn�t played in a game this season and has been pretty lousy pro, with 14 career touchdown passes against 26 interceptions.San Francisco ranks dead last in the league in offense, scoring only about 14 points per game. The 49ers� defense allows about 23 points per game. Frank Gore is still a good running back, and stopping Gore should be the focus of Cleveland�s defensive scheme.In terms of the playoffs, this is a meaningless game for the Browns. Some have suggested that the Browns rest several starters in this game, and I think that�s the right decision. That said, unfortunately I don�t think Romeo Crennel will rest his starters in this game. This is a team that the Browns should handle, and if they play their starters as Crennel has implied, I expect the Browns to cruise to a record seventh home victory.Be sure to tune in for the game that actually matters, Tennessee at Indianapolis, on Sunday night at 8:15 (NBC).My Call: Browns 27, 49ers 13

Heroes & Zeroes: Week 15 / It was a game that the Browns had to win, and they responded by delivering one of their most complete performances of the year. Although they only out-gained the Bills 304 to 232, the Browns essentially dominated the game, over one-fourth of Buffalo�s yardage came on their final futile drive. The Bills entered Cleveland territory only three times all game, and just once in the second half.Jamal Lewis was the headliner, bulldozing his way to 163 yards and becoming the second Cleveland running back to break the 1,000 yard barrier in three years (Reuben Droughns is the other). As ground-heavy as this game was, it was also a waiting game; waiting for the other team to make a costly error. Perhaps the most shocking statistic of the game was the fact that there were zero turnovers. In fact, the ball didn�t even hit the ground once as the result of a fumble.Buffalo�s botched punt, which led to a Cleveland safety, would prove to be the only real mistake of the game, but it only cost the Bills two points. The Bills started rookies at both quarterback and running back, and while both quarterback Trent Edwards and running back Marshawn Lynch are vastly superior to your typical rookie, the fact that both played their college ball in California showed. Edwards wore gloves on both hands, electing to play with a gloved throwing hand, and neither Edwards nor Lynch seemed too thrilled with the snowy conditions.On the other hand, Derek Anderson, Jamal Lewis, and the Cleveland offensive line chose not to wear gloves or sleeves. How many times have you seen running backs and receivers wear gloves and sleeves and lose their grip on the football? The Browns� hardnosed mentality paid dividends, and the Cleveland offensive line provided yet another dominating performance, keeping Derek Anderson�s jersey clean while also plowing open running lanes for Jamal Lewis. This was a signature victory for the Browns, who retained control of their own destiny in the playoff race. The win also set up a showdown this upcoming Sunday in Cincinnati, during which the Browns can clinch their first playoff appearance since 2002. Game on.This Week�s HeroesFive Dog Bones: Phil DawsonPhil Dawson came up huge against the Bills on Sunday, hitting two field goals, the first of which ended up being the difference in the game. Dawson�s first field goal was amazing, as he compensated for a stiff wind by aiming his kick yards to the right of the upright.But Dawson�s second field goal, which measured 49 yards, defied explanation. I was shocked to see Crennel allow Dawson to even attempt such a ridiculous feat in such inclement weather, but it paid off. The kick appeared to be hooked way left, but Dawson shocked the world yet again as the wind straightened the ball out, it bounced off of the Dawson Bar, and went in to extend the Cleveland lead to 8-0. While not the longest, it was the greatest kick I have ever seen.Dawson has taken some heat from fans this season for missing kicks in preseason and for hit weak leg on kickoffs. I remember hearing Dawson�s critics and preseason and thinking to myself, �If Phil Dawson is the Browns� biggest problem, we�re looking at a damn good football team.�As for the kickoffs, I�ve also been a critic of Dawson�s weak leg. Why the Browns don�t sign a kicker with a huge foot to handle kickoff duties completely escapes me. Can you imagine what an advantage it would be to consistently get touchbacks on kickoffs? That field position really adds up over the course of a game.In spite of his flaws, Phil Dawson is one my favorite Browns. He�s the only player remaining from the 1999 expansion team, he�s endured the pain and anguish of six losing seasons (out of eight total). Nobody�s deserves to enjoy a Cinderella season more than Dawson, and I couldn�t be happier for him.Four Dog Bones: Jamal LewisInitially, I was pretty skeptical of the Jamal Lewis signing, but apparently there�s a reason that the Browns hired Phil Savage, not me, as the general manager. I thought Jamal Lewis was washed up, but I�m thrilled that I was wrong.Since the second Baltimore game, Lewis has been running like a man possessed, averaging 113.8 yards per game over the last five contests. For all intents and purposes, Lewis carried the Browns to a victory over the Bills with 163 yards on 33 carries (2nd highest career total). Lewis� short, choppy steps and bruising north-and-south running style is perfect for snowy conditions, making Lewis a great fit for the Browns in the winter months.Lewis accumulated 80 yards in the first half, during which the Browns stayed fairly balanced between running and passing. But everybody in the stadium knew that Lewis was getting the rock in the second half. That said, the two teams lined up, the Browns� stellar offensive line beat up the Bills at the point of attack, and Lewis bludgeoned the Bills for another 83 yards. The Browns weren�t going to be stopped, Lewis wasn�t going to be stopped, and there was nothing the Bills could do about it.Three Dog Bones: Andra DavisI�ve been one of Davis� harshest critics this season, but he played a great game against the Bills, essentially setting up camp in the Buffalo backfield from the opening gun. Davis had six solo tackles, four for losses, and was making his presence felt all over the field.The big knock on Davis this season has been his speed, or lack thereof. Just as the snow was a blessing for Jamal Lewis, it was a blessing for Andra Davis, as Davis was no longer the slow guy, EVERYBODY was the slow guy. The poor conditions allowed Davis to give us a little taste of yesteryear, when he was arguably the best defender on the team.Davis is in the second year of a five year contract extension that was signed in 2005 and took effect in 2006. The Browns definitely won�t cut Davis this off-season, but next season will be a big year for Dr. Dra. If Davis can fully recover the ankle problems that have dogged him this season and give the Browns solid play in the middle, he has a good chance to finish out his five year deal and possibly retire as a Cleveland Brown. But if he doesn�t perform next season, Davis will likely be dumped on the free agent scrap heap of has-been linebackers.As much as his play has frustrated me this season, I�m rooting for Davis, who seems to be a pretty likeable fellow. Like Dawson, Davis has played his entire career in Cleveland, and he�s one of the guys who has been through some of the Browns� toughest seasons. Like Dawson, nobody deserves to be a part of the Browns� current success more than Davis.Two Dog Bones: Braylon EdwardsBraylon Edwards� ability to haul in the impossible catch, coupled with his inability to corral the easy catch, is becoming the stuff of legend. Edwards had two catches of the impossible variety on the Browns� last drive of the first half that netted them their second field goal.Although Edwards finished with a very pedestrian four catches for 64 yards, this wasn�t a game in which stats meant very much, and Edwards� two catches on the aforementioned drive were crucial to the Browns increasing their lead from 5-0 to 8-0 before halftime. Like many of the Browns, Edwards appeared unaffected by the snow and blustering wind, one of the advantages of drafting a player who played college ball above the Mason-Dixon line.Lone Bone: Derek AndersonTo criticize Derek Anderson on a local sports talk show exposes one to a serious verbal lashing. Like it or not, Derek Anderson has become something of a sacred cow. Personally I think it�s ridiculous, but I suppose it�s the nature of the beast; the quarterback often receives too much credit when a team is winning and vice-versa.And although I�m in the camp that believes Anderson�s success is due more to a great offensive line and great receivers than anything else, Anderson deserves tons of credit for playing a turnover-free game in ugly, ugly weather. Making a statement along with the majority of the Cleveland offense, Anderson took the field without sleeves. Perhaps more significant, he elected to leave his quarterback gloves on the sidelines (unlike his counterpart, Trent Edwards) in order to maintain a better grip on the football.Although it wasn�t always pretty, and there were plenty of passes that were candidates for interception largely due to Anderson�s total lack of touch on short passes, Anderson completed what was only his fourth interception-free game of the season. Of equal importance was the fact that Anderson, who had a �butterfingers� reputation earlier in his career, did not fumble any snaps throughout the course of the game.While Anderson was unable to lead the Browns to any touchdowns, the mere fact that he threatened the Bills with a vertical passing game was significant. The Bills were forced to respect Cleveland�s ability to throw deep, which made the going that much easier for Jamal Lewis because Buffalo was unable to consistently stack eight and nine defenders in the box.Anderson was largely ineffective in the second half, but the Browns were able to ride the churning legs of Jamal Lewis to victory. Sometimes a quarterback�s job is to be the game-manager and simply not give the game away, and DA played that role well against the Bills.This Week�s ZeroesFive Demerits: Romeo CrennelI had no problem with any of Crennel�s coaching moves or his game plan until late in the fourth quarter. The Browns had the football with exactly 2:00 remaining at the Buffalo 48-yard line, and it was fourth-and-one. It was decision time.Crennel, playing conservative, and totally gutless, ordered the Browns to punt the football after Derek Anderson led a poorly orchestrated attempt to get the Bills to jump offsides. Crennel�s decision came as little surprise, he�s rarely shown any guts, guile, or desire to go for an opponent�s throat while leading the Browns.It�s that kind of decision that separates the good teams from the bad teams, the winners from the losers. Losers will punt, cross their fingers, and hope for the best. Winners look the opponent straight in the eye, ram the football down their throat for one lousy yard, and win the damn football game.The Browns had their best unit on the field, with a running back who the Bills had been unable to stop all game. Lewis had just gashed the Bills with two consecutive runs of six yards after Jason Wrights three-yard loss set the Browns up for second-and-thirteen. It would have been a great way to end a game that the Browns had essentially dominated from start to finish. It would have said, �Here we come, and you�re not stopping us.�Instead, Zastudil�s punt netted the Browns only 20 yards of field position, and to me, the risk-reward of 20 yards of field position versus ending the football game is worth the risk of that fourth down attempt. Sooner or later, one of Crennel�s blunders is going to cost the Browns a football game, if it hasn�t already. Sooner or later, Romeo Crennel is going to have to show that he has the stones to step on the opposition�s throat when they�re down and finish them off. I won�t hold my breath.Four Demerits: Brian BillickIs ripping Brian Billick getting stale? Nope.Brian Billick�s 2007 Baltimore Ravens are the gift that keeps on giving, and they�ve proven themselves particularly adept at finding new ways to sink to new lows each and every week. How could you top being blown out by 24 points at home in prime time, to the former Baltimore Colts, no less? Simple: lose to the winless Dolphins.As much as I wanted to see the rudderless Dolphins stay perfect and keep their dream of a winless season alive, the Baltimore Ravens have a dream of their own: to cement their position as the biggest disappointment of the �07 NFL season. It was just another day at the office for Billick�s bozos, who have now lost eight straight.Brian Billick is among the world�s greatest jerk/dork combinations, and nobody deserves this season-from-Hell more than he. A special thanks must be directed towards the �07 Baltimore Ravens. Without you guys, this miracle season would not have been possible.Three Demerits: Ryan NeillTechnically there weren�t any turnovers in this football game, but botched snaps on punts don�t register as turnovers in the box score. A botched snap by Buffalo long snapper Ryan Neill led to a pair of charity points for the Browns by way of a safety.As much as he�s mocked, Browns fans were grateful to have a quality long snapper like Ryan Pontbriand during a snowy game in which long snaps were extremely difficult to execute properly. Credit Buffalo punter Brian Moorman for wisely kicking the ball out of the end zone instead of trying to run the football, which might have led to a very short field for the Browns.Two Demerits: Todd GranthamI�ll admit that criticizing a defensive coordinator when the defense pitches a shutout might be pushing it, but the Browns played a fairly mistake-free game, and aren�t many players or coaches deserving of criticism.After Romeo Crennel decided to punt with 2:00 left in the fourth quarter, which might have been the worst decision since Sony Pictures decided to make sequel to Daddy Day Care, did anyone honestly think that the Bills were going to go quietly? The snow made pressuring the quarterback difficult for both teams, reflected in the complete absence of sacks, and that final drive was no different. The Browns tried to put the heat on Trent Edwards, but nothing was working.Pressure hadn�t gotten to Edwards all day, and for once, the answer might have been to dial down the pressure and drop more defenders into coverage. Unfortunately, the Browns� largely ineffective blitz packages left Bills receivers open for several big plays.Edwards shredded the Browns defense with three big pass plays, including a 20-yard fourth down pass to Lee Evans to keep the drive alive. Question: Why is Lee Evans, clearly the Bills� best receiver, in single coverage (rookie Brandon McDonald) on fourth down? Evans should have had at least two defenders hounding him as he�s Buffalo�s only legitimate deep threat.Although it was partly due to poor play calling on Buffalo�s behalf (swing pass to Fred Jackson), the Browns defense finally stood up at their own 10 yard line, although they gave several Browns fans a mild heart attack on the way.One Demerit: Kellen WinslowLike I said five paragraphs earlier, I�m reaching for players and coaches to decry at this point.Winslow had a couple of questionable dropped passes, which were magnified by the fact that Derek Anderson didn�t throw many passes that were even remotely catchable. Kellen Jr. clearly wasn�t too thrilled about playing in the middle of a blizzard. Considering that Winslow grew up in San Diego and went to school in Miami, he probably didn�t have much experience with that white, powdery substance, or sub-freezing temperatures.Winslow would finish with only two catches for 28 yards, tying his lowest reception output of the season and marking his second-lowest yardage total. Hopefully the Bills game served as a learning experience for Winslow and he will be better acclimated to cold weather in the future.StandingsTotal Dog BonesOffensive Line---27Braylon Edwards---22Jamal Lewis---19Derek Anderson---17(t)Joshua Cribbs---17(t)Kellen Winslow---17(t)Net Dog BonesOffensive Line---25Braylon Edwards---18Kellen Winslow---17Joshua Cribbs---15Jamal Lewis---13Total DemeritsRomeo Crennel---30Derek Anderson---16(t)Brian Billick---16(t)Defensive Line---16(t)Todd Grantham---14Net DemeritsRomeo Crennel---22Brian Billick---16Todd Grantham---13Defensive Line---12Rich Gannon---7(t)Willie McGinest---7(t)NFL Rules Committee---7(t)Pro BowlingCongratulations to Joshua Cribbs and Braylon Edwards, who were both chosen to represent the Browns in the 2008 NFL Pro Bowl!The selection of Cribbs and Edwards breaks the Browns� well-publicized Pro Bowl drought since returning to the league in 1999. Before this season, only one Browns player (Jamir Miller, 2001) had made the trip to Hawaii since the Browns were reactivated.Derek Anderson, Eric Steinbach, Joe Thomas, and Kellen Winslow were named first alternates for February�s game, while Lawrence Vickers was named second alternate and Phil Dawson was designated alternate.Much has been made of several Browns players being snubbed in the Pro Bowl selection process. While Joe Thomas and possibly Kellen Winslow were deserving of making the team, I urge fans to remember that the Pro Bowl means absolutely nothing.I�m not one to get overly concerned about individual awards. Awards are nice, but in a team sport, they don�t amount to much more than a gold star on a chart. When fans get worked up about awards, it usually means that the team isn�t winning, and this Browns team is certainly winning. Don�t sweat the Pro Bowl, if the Ravens have losing seasons, but Jonathan Ogden beats out Joe Thomas for the Pro Bowl during the remainder of the decade, I can live with that.Up Next: 12/23, At Cincinnati, Paul Brown Stadium, 1:00This is it. Win and you�re in. The Browns and Jaguars can sew up playoff births with victories this Sunday. For a fantastic breakdown of playoff scenarios, be sure to read Hiko�s �The Browns Outsider� column this week.Cincinnati has officially fallen from grace this season, but they�re still a dangerous team, evidenced in the fact that they�ve split their last six games. The Bengals can still move the ball, especially through the air. Receivers Chad Johnson and TJ Houshmandzadeh have each recorded consecutive 1,000 yard seasons. Houshmandzadeh is the red zone threat with 11 touchdowns.Also watch out for number three receiver Chris Henry, who recently returned from his eight-game suspension. At 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds, Henry is one of the most dangerous slot receivers in the league. Defenses often key on Johnson and Houshmandzadeh, which is when Henry is most dangerous.The Browns are a little banged up, as Antwan Peek, Orpheus Roye, Robaire Smith, and Shaun Smith were all limited in practice this week. Leigh Bodden did not practice this week due to a back problem.The Browns should look to limit the Bengals� possessions by pounding Jamal Lewis early and often against a run defense that allows almost 120 yards per game on the ground. The Bengals have looked like a team just waiting to implode in recent weeks, so it�s important for the Browns to build an early lead. If the Browns get ahead early, the Bengals will quit. But if the Browns let the Bengals hang around, they�ll become more dangerous as the game progresses.If you were looking for an early Chirstmas present, or perhaps more appropriately, a stocking stuffer, Steelers running back Willie Parker broke a bone in his lower right leg during Pittsburgh�s victory over St. Louis on Thursday night. Parker�s season-ending injury comes just in time for the playoffs. Happy Festivus, Pittsburgh!My Call: Browns 31, Bengals 24
