for four wins?
Yep, in an unprecedented transaction, the Browns in a desperate move to get into the post season have followed NASCAR's lead and traded starting QB Derek Anderson to the the Kansas City Chiefs for all four of their wins this year. This leaves the Browns with an adjusted record of 14-2 and the Chiefs a historic 0-16. And to think we spent all year wondering if dolphins would go winless when the Chiefs come out of nowhere to nab the dubious distinction.
Of course this trade causes a couple of problems, it knocks the Steelers out of the playoffs who are already out of the playoffs due to their loss to the Jags. And leaves Browns fans wondering, hey where's our home playoff game?
When the commissioner was asked what prompted the move he said, "well, we've been watching NASCAR's meteoric rise in popularity and thought we should do business more like those guys."
In response to how the NFL would deal with the logistical problems this trade created he said "We've got a call in to Brian France to ask what they would do, but he hasn't responded yet"
So, do you think its silly for NASCAR teams to be able to "give away" their points yet? I do.
