Here are the related LOCAL/OFFICIAL reports from off "the Gridiron Newsstand":

HOW ABOUT THIS LITTLE NUGGET LYING EXPOSED [smiley=dick.jpg] ... [smiley=joker.gif] ... ;) (I'm sorry... I couldn't help myself [smiley=awwgee.gif]) ON "The REAL Feed (http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/newsstand.htm)"??? In Cleveland this weekend, Detroit's QB "situation" won't be the only one "looming"... Here's the word... HOT off "The REAL Feed (http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/newsstand.htm)":

Get QB Charlie Frye on your respective radars, [smiley=radar.gif] fellow Gridironers!!! I've heard nothing but good things about this kid!!! [smiley=yes.gif] If Detroit does to Dilfer this weekend what they did to Delhomme last, it's likely we'll see Frye entering the ball game.

This may be beyond just controversy... It may be more accurate to say, "Let the transition begin..." From "The REAL Feed":

UPDATE on the QB "situation"... from "The REAL Feed":

The rhetoric calling for a QB change hath begun... From off "the Gridiron Newsstand":

"Time has come for Browns to give Frye a try (http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/sports/football/nfl/cleveland_browns/13041412.htm)"

Will Dilfer be sacked? (http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=nfl/news/ABN3987409.htm)

Sorry, Trent. :-[ I know that you haven't been dealt the fairest hand in the NFL. BUT, that does not mean that another young up-and-comer should be dealt a bad hand, too. Crennel would be well-advised to start the kid a.s.a.p. and get as long and as good of a look at him as possible during regular-season play.

In other news... from "The REAL Feed":

This probably will NOT amount to "two squirts of piss" (literally and figuratively). [smiley=alcoholic.gif] But, it's worth making note of. William Green is probably available, and rightfully so mind you, on most of your waiver wires, BUT I still think the guy could be a reasonably good NFL back if put in the right situation.

Braylon Edwards out for the season!

http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory?id=1373933

"Players with similar injuries typically need eight to 12 months of rehab to recover."

Wow, worst case scenario puts him out for most of next year, too.

Mark my words, and theirs... This hometown kid is the real deal! We'll be watching this guy for years to come. Heed these words, keeper leaguers,... or forever hold your "piece". [smiley=pudwhacker.gif] From "The REAL Feed":
