WINSLOW NOT HAPPY WITH THE BROWNS

On the same day that one former “U” tight end isn’t happy with the Saints, another one is miffed at the Browns. Tight end Kellen Winslow isn’t happy about the infection that recently landed him in the Cleveland Clinic. Winslow says it was a staph infection, the second one he has suffered during his time in Cleveland. Per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Winslow claims that it was the team, not Winslow, that wanted to keep the reason for the hospitalization quiet. “There’s obviously a problem and we have to fix it,” Winslow said. “Just look at the history around here.” In Winslow’s case, the rumor in the locker room that his balls were severely swollen coupled with our report that Winslow had an infection prompted all sorts of speculation that was unflattering to Winslow. Deadspin mentioned a rumor that Winslow had taken an overdose of erection-enhancing medication, along with a rumor that he was suffering from an STD. If Winslow’s version of the facts is accurate, the disclosure that Winslow had a garden-variety (for the Browns) staph infection might have negated some of that speculation. Winslow also isn’t happy that he didn’t hear from G.M. Phil Savage during Winslow’s three-night hospital stay. “A big reason I’m upset right now has to do with [the staph infection],” said Winslow. “I heard from Romeo Crennel and I heard from my position coach [Alfredo Roberts] when I was in the Clinic. I never heard from the man upstairs -- Phil Savage -- and that really disappoints me. “I feel I’ve done a lot for this team, played through a lot of pain and given it my all. I just thought I deserved a little better than that.” Winslow said that he thought about asking for a trade, but didn’t. Still, he’s not happy. “I give my heart and soul to this team,” he said. “I just wish there had been a little more concern over this situation.”
