Um, About Kellen…

rickg15 posted 32 hours ago from www.waitingfornextyear.com

A league source tells us that the talk among the Browns is that tight end Kellen Winslow landed in the Cleveland Clinic because his balls swelled to the size of grapefruits. Wow. I’m actually pretty speechless. Obviously, all while wishing Winslow the best
