CLEVELAND - For the first time in NFL history, a coach of a team with a losing record of 5-11 has won the Coach of the Year award. Cleveland Browns head coach Eric Mangini was given the honor after closing out the season on a four-game win streak. 'It's extraordinary what Eric's been able to do with what should ideally be a zero-win team,' related owner Randy Lerner. 'The team is completely lacking in talent except for Josh Cribbs. I mean Brady Quinn? Jamal Lewis? Jesus, this worse than that movie major league, but for football.' Mangini was not available for comment, but fined a player $5,000 for not clapping when the team was told of the respect. TAUNTR.com
