Did anybody else happen to hear Winslow Sr's interview the other day??? He sounded like a bigger jerkoff than his kid.
Winslows run into coverage

Pro Football Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow Sr., father of injured Browns tight end Kel len Winslow Jr., recently gave the local media a tongue-lashing over its coverage of his son's reckless, career-risking motorcycle accident - one that will keep Winslow Jr. out for the entire 2005 season.
Local media types suggested much blame lies with the Winslows and their poor handling of the controversy.
"The Winslows may think we're too aggressive covering this story, but they should face reality: This is big news in Cleveland," said Steve Doerr, news director at Channel 19. Recently, Channel 19 lead sports anchor Chuck Galeti had a confrontation with Winslow Sr., one that led Winslow Sr. to call Galeti "little man" - and ban him from an interview session.
Another local official, who requested anonymity, also suggested the Winslows could ease tension over Kellen Jr.'s recent coverage.
"The whole temperature would cool down tremendously if Kellen Jr. would just talk about the accident, which he keeps refusing to do," the official said.
"The fans and media in Cleveland are pretty forgiving if you just speak up and explain you messed up," the official added. "But they aren't forgiving when you act like you're too good to give an explanation. That's what Kellen [Jr.] keeps doing."
