| Philadelphia, PA (Worldwide Gamble) - For Brandon Weeden, it's a unique opportunity to make the most of a second chance. The Cleveland Browns, meanwhile, are simply hoping that the third time's a charm. The first minicamp of a player's professional career can be a very nerve- racking endeavor, but Weeden displayed all the calm and confidence of an established veteran when the Browns opened their rookie minicamp this past week. And that sweatless demeanor really should come as no surprise, considering the newest |

| Philadelphia, PA (Worldwide Gamble) - Ever since the Cleveland Browns returned to the NFL for the 1999 season, they've been unable to find a long-term answer at the quarterback position. They've tried several times to draft their franchise quarterback, but Tim Couch, Brady Quinn and Colt McCoy were all mediocre at best as the Cleveland Browns' starter. Veteran acquisitions like Jeff Garcia and Jake Delhomme brought even worse results. In fact, the new Cleveland Browns have played in only one playoff game during |

Oh wait, that's right; they addressed defensive tackle in the seventh round when they picked Jeris Pendleton, a 28- year-old from Division II Ashland (Ohio). Gotcha. CLEVELAND BROWNS: It hurts a little to criticize the Browns' weekend, because they landed perhaps the best player in the entire draft when they traded up one spot for running back Trent Richardson. The Browns' defense is pretty good, and Richardson will instantly be |
