Bentley done for the season
The annual wailing and rending of garments begins anew in Cleveland…
LeCharles Bentley, the All-Pro center who signed with the Browns for $36 milllion and was to be the anchor of their newly-built offensive line, is out for the season after blowing out his knee in the team’s first 11-on-11 drill.
That loud whistling sound you heard was Reuben Droughns fantasy draft stock dropping like Fat Man from the Enola Gay. All that’s left for Browns fans to do is hope that this doesn’t go mushroom-shaped on them like some of their top draft picks have over the last few seasons. I still think this team has a shot at .500, but last week, I would have guaranteed at least that much, just because of what Bentley brings to the O-line. Without him? Yeah, not so much. The rest of the AFC North is probably grinning ear-to-ear right now.
