Top 10 things I need to do in Cleveland before the season starts.

By Eric Mangini:

  1. Paint over mural. It may clash with my ego and patented brand of losing.
  2. Trade my No. 1 receiver. Who really needs him when I can get guys from the Jets practice squad?
  3. Check the Jets practice squad from three years ago and find someone willing to play for me. If they say no, send them flowers and beg for them to play.
  4. Ignore Shaun Rogers!
  5. Acknowledge Shaun Rogers!
  6. Ignore Shaun Smith. Then, call Bill Parcells and collect money from the “Ignore Guys Named Shaun” pool.
  7. Acknowledge Shaun Smith, then insult him about weight and attitude.
  8. Call Bill Belichick and ask him where to find pinking shears that can cut sleeves off sweatshirts.
  9. Tell Josh Cribbs we owe him nothing because his contract was written with invisible ink and pixie dust.
  10. Call Roger Goodell and ask him about changing the team name to either the Jetowns, BrownJets or Cleveland Jets.
