Take Winslow out of your fantasy lineup

Oct. 21, 2008  

Yep, he gone done and earned himself a good ol’ fashioned one-game suspension for criticizing the Browns’ handling of his recent hospitalization.

“The Cleveland Browns are committed to winning and taking care of our players,” GM Phil Savage said in the statement. “We are also committed to protecting the privacy of our players, particularly with regard to medical issues. To that end, following discussions with Kellen Winslow and his representation, the Browns agreed to make every effort to maintain the confidentiality of his recent medical condition. …

“His comments and behavior on Sunday evening, however, were unwarranted, inappropriate, and unnecessarily disparaging to our organization. His statements brought unjustified negative attention to our organization, and violated the team-first concept of our football squad. Therefore, disciplinary action will be taken in the form of a one-game suspension without pay for conduct detrimental to the club.”

Savage did address the fact that the Browns seem to get a lot of staph infections.

“As an organization, we have worked hard to ensure the safety and well-being of our players. Consistent with this effort, we have consulted the team’s medical experts to ensure that any instances of staph infections are evaluated and treated thoroughly and expeditiously, and in accordance with the recommended standard of care. Further, steps have been and continue to be taken on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis to protect our players and personnel at our training facility and stadium.”

  1. This is the first time I have ever agreed with Winslow. They told him to keep the staph infection a secret because they didn’t want the negative press about them having what, 5 staph infections (2 of which are Winslow) in 3 years? That is nuts. So was his infection?
