velvetdawg Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Cleveland police said Wright, Browns No. 24, was southbound on Interstate 77 when he got on the ramp to Interstate 490 about 2:10 a.m. 2:10 am, huh? Well, I think we can all see what's coming next re: this story. The good news is, there are currently very few players good enough to significantly harm this team if they become unavailable to us. Sean Rogers, Josh Cribbs, D'quell Jackson....wait, I guess we already lost DQ for the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Beat me to it Cal was bringing up the link so I could post it. Why wasn't he at least sited for failure to control. Seems fishy to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumbergh Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 2:10 am, huh?

Seems fishy to me You are right. All accidents in the state are supposed to have a person cited. I was cited because a deer ran into the side of my car. WTF.

Mr. T Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Has he played this year at all? His play 50% of the time is better than the play of some of our DB's 99% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Well he didn't hit anything still, he slid and flipped over. Sounds familiar? Wonder if the did a BAC? If it was you or I they would have. He was obviously going to fast for conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only going about 25-30 and it got pretty crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 His silver Mercedes skidded on the wet highway and rolled over.

Seems fishy to me Skinny ********************************************** Well, I was amazed it wasn't already there, you guys are so quick to post new stuff ! But I understand how the accident could happen... You're in a hurry, you're tired, it's late, you want to get home, you're flying down the expressway, a deer breaks into a curved exit, you are surprised, and you hit the unexpected curve, too, but you slip and go "flippety-flipplety" and all of a sudden you've had a car wreck. Sounds to me like how McDonald plays football every so often... Maybe Wright was checking out McDonald's strategy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police said he was examined at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland and released without treatment. Wow.....he was pretty lucky to just walk out of the hospital after that one. I'm interested to read the story behind this one...... What story? I'm sure he's not the first 24 year-old guy to drive too fast or recklessly and get into an accident. He's just driving a much more expensive car and has local celebrity status so we find out about it. Did he mess up? Absolutely. Should he have used better judgement? Definitely. Did he probably learn his lesson by having his life flash in front of his eyes and luckily has another chance? That's my guess. Don't prosecute this guy unless he messes up again. For now, I chalk this up to immaturity. Ask yourselves how many times you got lucky while growing up and doing dumb things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Somebody on the news apparently made the quip about Wright's accident: "And yet, -another- Browns turnover..." I wish I'd thought of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
