Recap: Shurmur era ends with lose to Steelers
Box Score: Steelers 24, Browns 10 Final

Well, despite having to start a third-string QB making his first career NFL start, the Browns didn't completely fall apart in the team's 2012 finale vs. a Steelers team, that looked very disinterested for most of the afternoon. Despite moving the ball at times against the #1 defense in the NFL, the Browns were once again doomed by turnovers (-4 on the day) and costly penalties (9/79 yards). Once again, the Browns finish another frustrating season at 5-11, the third time in four seasons finishing at that mark. #Shurmurfired

Boomer's Urban Renewal: Week 3 of the 2012-13 Bowl Season



Clemson & LSU should give us an entertaining game,
down in the Georgia Dome on the eve of New Year's.

 I hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas. Well, we are in the thick of the bowl season, as starting with today's contests a total of 20 bowl games will be played over the next week. If you got nothing better to do, why don't you just plop down in front of the television and enjoy some entertaining college football games.

Boomer Report: Browns end the season with a game in Pittsburgh



The Shurmur Era in Cleveland comes to an end on Sunday
over in Pittsburgh vs. the Steelers.

 The Cleveland Browns (5-10) finish out the 2012 season on Sunday, in what most likely will be Head Coach Pat Shurmur's final game at the helm. The Browns opponent, the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-8) will provide a stiff challenge for the Browns, who try to finish the season on a high, and win their 6th game of the season, the most since 2007 (10 wins that year).

Boomer's Game Recap: Browns no match for Peyton, Broncos fall 34-12

touchdown on the day vs. the Broncos.

Recap: Peyton Manning tosses 3 TD's for 72nd time in his career
Box Score: Broncos 34, Browns 12 Final

Pretty much what I had expected. One of those games you don't even get upset or angry, not even disappointed. What I saw were two teams, one that has plans of heading to the Big EZ in Feburary, and the other...well, the Browns. Yesterday's games was one of those, that was over the minute Peyton Manning took the field. For the majority of the afternoon, Peyton played pitch and catch with his skilled players, as the Browns D was unable to come up with any answers to stop one of the best QB's of this generation. The Broncos continue to dominant the all-time series over the Browns, running their record to 22-5 vs. the Browns. By the way, I'd like to thank whomever from CBS, who thought it would be grand to show flashbacks of the 1986 & 1987 AFC Championship Games. Just what I wanted to get reminded of, as I watched the current Browns squad get blown out, I appreciate that CBS.
