Browns had lots of reasons for not using Winslow

I sees where Cleveland Browns tight end Kellen Winslow ain’t too happy. Even though he hasn’t play three games in the NFL, he wants to be a bigger part of the offense and complained publicly after the Browns 34-17 loss at Cincinnati in week two.

The conservative Browns coaching staff must have reasons why they aren’t usin’ their No. 1 draft pick from three years ago.

Well, they do and here are the top 10 excuses Kellen Winslow Jr. wasn’t involved in the Browns offense on third down against the Bengals:

10. Needed some extra time to look for his lost puppy in the Dawg Pound.

9.

He was busy playing soldier with his G.I. Joe doll.

8. Didn’t want to embarrass him because he doesn’t have as good of a touchdown dance as Chad Johnson.

7. Was late for the team plane because he had to run back home after picking up Ben Roethlisberger’s helmet by mistake.

6. Snuck into the stands when he heard Evel Knievel was signing autographs.

5. Was too upset after Emmitt Smith got bad scores on “Dancing with the Stars.”

4. Thought some guy named Harley Davidson was ahead of him on the depth chart.

3. Had trouble running routes because Bengals’ ground crew put speed bumps on Paul Brown Stadium turf.

2. Was late for warm-ups because of his new parking lot phobia.

1. He couldn’t hear the play that was called through his body cast.

Somebody know an offensive coordinator?
