BEREA, Ohio (AP)The Cleveland Browns have been sacked by the flu.

Coach Eric Mangini said 12 players, including several starters, are home with flulike symptoms and he plans to adjust his practice on Wednesday as the team prepares to face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Mangini said hell make sure his players get more rest and the team is taking precautions to make sure others dont get sick.

Mangini said the NFL has provisions for teams that are overwhelmed by illness and that there may be roster exemptions to use, such as bringing players up from the practice squad.

Linebacker Kamerion Wimbley(notes) missed last Sundays game in Pittsburgh with the flu and Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers(notes) was sick during the game.



Well, I'm hoping for a 14+ point win this week. The only person I'm worried about is Josh Cribbs, who can basically take one to the house every time he touches the ball.
The Pack Will Be Back.

lulz. as if the Browns needed any more help in losing. maybe we should put an injured Clifton back in, just to give us negative yards every other down?

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

This flu is no damn joke and it is starting to scare me! I live in the Chicago suburbs and a HS (St. Charles East) has 925 students out....700 yesterday and 225 today added on out sick.

The school has 2,000+ kids and they closed the school for the week. Back on topic, I thought the Packers were going to win anyways but now I expect an even better showing from them.

I am also nervous that the Packers will get the sickness and that will eff a lot of things up for the Vikings game.

meh. it's no different than any other flu. in fact, my co-worker got the Pig-flu about a month ago and was only out of work/incapacitated for four days.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Hi. My name is Dave. I suck at the internet, and I don't know how to delete my post. Because I'm forum illiterate.

By all means, resume your Packershome activities.

errr Great ... the bookies had the pack -7 before this; now what kind of odds do I get? probably -14 ick (the bookies will probably wait till saturday or until the browns get better) ...

I hate waiting to get my bets in the odds can get all funky

I understand the point spread is to try to get an even amount of betting on both sides, but explain to me why sometimes it's + and sometimes it's -

    beast (4h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent
    beast (4h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime
    beast (4h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing
    Zero2Cool (5h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
    Zero2Cool (5h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
    beast (5h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management
    wpr (8h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

    beast (16h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years
    Zero2Cool (22h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

    Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

    buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
    beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
    beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
