Is Eric Mangini a professional clown?
He's up to his yearly side-show routine once again in Cleveland (who else thinks he should be jobless right now instead of landing on his feet after a fun-filled season with the Jets?).
This time, Mangini is playing mind games with the Minnesota Vikings -- the Browns' Week 1 opponent -- and everyone else who's an NFL fan.
Mangini -- remember the same guy (what a real friend he is) that tattled to the NFL that the New England Patriots and coach Bill Belichick were illegally filming coaches' hand signals on the sideline during games. Remember Spygate? That was all Mangini, he should still be proud.
Anyway, while every other team in the league has announced their Week 1 starting quarterback, Mangini and the Browns are still playing mind games. Is it Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson?
Word out of Cleveland is Quinn won the job, but Mangini won't come out and say who it is, and obviously gave both QBs specific instructions not to say exactly who's going to start.
It's all about trying to make the Vikings hit the film room and use more preparation time on studying both QBs, but I'm guessing it's not really going to fluster them since neither QB is exactly scary throwing the football down the field.
But anyone that's seen Mangini's antics before, does this little QB game really surprise you?
It shouldn't, and it shouldn't surprise anyone if the Vikings absolutely pound the Browns on Sunday. I'm guessing Mangini's games won't be as devastating as Adrian Peterson running wild and Brett Favre controlling the passing game, while the Vikings' defense overwhelms that suspect offense -- with either Quinn or Anderson leading the charge.
Game on Mangini.
