Mangini to Star in $5 Foot-long Ad
Monday, August 3rd, 2009
Brownieman.net has learned that head coach Eric Mangini is working on an agreement with MDB Advertising to star in the latest installment of Subway’s “Five Dollar Foot-long” TV commercial series. According to an anonymous source, Mangini will receive a large sum of money in a burlap sack and a sandwich named after him. For a limited time, Subway will offer Browns fans a special deal: a Mangini Meatball sub for only $5. The new sandwich will feature spicy peppers and will come wrapped in wax paper with Browns helmets on it. Mangini’s sandwich is approximately 1/10 the size of former head coach Romeo Crennel’s Meaty Feast Sub, which featured 12 different kinds of meat, chocolate chip cookies, and nacho cheese sauce. The commercial is slated to be shot at Browns training camp, but Mangini has been tight lipped about when the filming will take place. Rumor has it that the camera men, grips, and lighting crew will all be former New York Jet players….cause that’s how he rolls.
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards missed the team’s first training camp practice with an unspecified injury. An anonymous source close to the team has informed Brownieman.net that his mysterious “injury” is really just a bad case of head lice. Edwards was physically present at camp, but was did not take part in any drills. Instead he rode a stationary bike, ran sprints and scratched his head a lot while his teammates busted their asses during practice on Saturday. Edwards, who missed minicamp in June due to the same tiny insects living in his hair, deflected questions about the severity of the issue. “Talk to coach Mangini about that, see what he says,” Edwards said. However, it was hard not to notice the bald spot that was developing on this scalp – proof that the scratching is beginning to take its toll.
