This should be Belichick's punishment for Spygate:
When he is inducted into the Hall of Fame, his plaque should read, "Had to cheat to beat the Browns."
The biggest disgrace isn't the actual cheating, it's the fact he had to do it to outsmart Butch Davis.

McGinest out after '08
By the Associated Press
Friday, May 09, 2008
CLEVELAND ? Cleveland Browns linebacker Willie McGinest says the 2008 season will be his last.
McGinest told SI.com that he wants to finish his career on one last playoff run.
"This will be it," he said. "This will be my 15th season. I've worked hard; I think I've done everything I set out to accomplish."

Browns prepare for life after McGinest
Friday, May 9, 2008
BY Steve Doerschuk
REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER
BEREA The question no longer is whether Willie McGinest will play beyond 2008. The question becomes what the Browns linebacking corps will look like as McGinest courses through a phase-out year.
Browns General Manager Phil Savage was not surprised by a report indicating McGinest will retire after the 2008 season.
"I think everyone could assume that once (McGinest) agreed to taking the (pay) reduction for this year, the thought was that one more quality year at somewhat of a reduced rate would make the most sense for both sides," Savage said during a radio interview Thursday. "I would be surprised if he played beyond this year."
The Browns use a 3-4 defense that calls for four starting linebacker, two primary backups and at least two other players for depth.

Hopefully McGinest can continue his current role of coaching the front seven next year, without wearing pads and taking up a roster spot.
edit: actually, I'd like to see the same thing happen with Ken Dorsey. Although, He may not be convinced that coaching is really his best bet right now.

agreed. He has some serious insight to offer our younger players and I would like to keep him around for that.

I guess it's rather obvious that we will be looking for LBs, both inside and outside, in next year's draft or during free agency. We are really lacking depth at those positions after this season... well maybe not even after
