Browns to Play Girls Team in 2009
Football’s glass ceiling has apparently been shattered with the release of the 2009 NFL schedule. For the first time in history, an all-girls team will take the field when the Detroit Lionesses visit the Saints on September 13th in New Orleans. Some call it a sideshow publicity stunt, but the NFL recently declared that the 0-16 men’s team from 2008 was an embarrassment to the league and needed to be replaced. The Browns will take their shot at the female footballers from Motown when they travel to Detroit on November 22nd. “I think it is great that the NFL is allowing a team of female athletes to compete on this level. And there’s a chance for them to get one, maybe two, wins this season. But I pray to god one doesn’t come against us.” Mangini said from his office in Berea on Tuesday. Vegas has the Browns favored in that game by 1 ½ points.

Ten bucks says the Lionesses score more points than last year’s team. I thought Browns fans had it bad, but these guys have it much worse.

I wonder who the Lionesses will take with the first pick in the draft since there are no women on the board. I’m thinking yet another over-rated receiver would be good.

Hopefully the Lionesses have a QB that understands the basic rules of football. Like, for instance, you can’t run out of the back of the endzone and then run back in and throw the ball downfield. You know…some of those really complex rules that Lions QBs can’t seem to figure out. It’s amazing how a team can be that bad, especially with draft picks. Evidently they went to the Cincinnatti Bungles School of NFL Drafting!
