This would be the fourth version of Create a Caption. I reached into the wayback machine and pulled out a favorite fella that we all know and love. Big Romeo.
So go ahead and let our favorite rotund genius have it. As for last weeks Create a Caption, let's pick a winner.
Referee Ed Loman restrains Cleveland Browns Head Coach Romeo Crennel during Sundays 23-3 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The game was interrupted for twenty-three minutes in the third quarter when a man ran out on the field and began ‘humping’ the leg of Browns player Beau Bell. The man, who eluded capture, was described by Paul Brown Stadium Security Chief John Heron as thin and extremely pale. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Heron. “The guy was nearly translucent.” Crennel called the incident “disturbing”. Further adding, “We’ll have to get all the coaches together as soon as we get back to Cleveland. We need to figure out who’s responsible for letting Beau Bell on the field.” Bengals Head Coach Marvin Lewis declined to comment on the interruption.
Background assistant coach #1: “Hey what set Romeo off like that? He usually never mixes it up with the officials.”
Background assistant coach #2: “I don’t know, the ref said he looked like a melting chocolate ice cream cone and he just went off.”
Crennel: “Heads!”
Referee: “Coach, the coin flip is over. We did that before the game.”
Crennel: “No, I’m choosing my quarterback for the next series. Quinn, get your helmet on . . . you’re going in.”
Coach Romeo Crennel and an unnamed official react in horror to yet another mauling of what was allegedly an NFL team in Cleveland Browns colors. The tragic beating began shortly after 1 p.m. and continued for several hours.
ROMEO: What the hell are they doing to my players?!
REF: Easy coach. It’s just tackling. You know. That thing that you, er, that other coaches teach in practice.
Ref: “For the last time coach,I’ve not been behind center since highschool”.
RC: “Aww c’mon man I’ve watched you throw flags,have you seen my depth chart”?
Ref: Now, hold on coach, I understand you all have a bad QB situation up here, but I’m counting 5 guys out there under center. We’re playing football here, not adding fractions!
Crennel: Wassup!!!!!!
Dude on the left: Dammit, not this crap again. I thought he was working with Coors now.
Dude with the headset on: Football? This ain’t no damn football. My little nephew’s pop warner team could beat these chumps. Damn, who farted? Smells like Pittsburgh out here.
Guy that just passed gas standing behind the ref: (inhalation) Aaahhhhh!! Yep, that was a good one. Wish I could bottle that one for later.
Crennel: Wassup!!!!
Everyone else: Can’t believe we’re getting paid for this.
Like I said to BB, you’re seeing depth perception. He’s clearly not focused in which alludes to him being farther off in the picture. I have no doubt in my mind that’s him.
What? You can’t even see the said guy’s body!! The only body you can see there is the coach with the black beanie. And based on the picture, all the coaches are wearing black beanies. Look closer. All you can see is coach.
The man in the orange beanie is obviously standing parallel to the field and looking to his right.
Plus the picture was taken at a low level, so the taller people 5 yards further would look even or shorter then the people at the focal point. It’s that simple.
Either way, the guy isn’t Edwards. He’s much too short. Look at him compared to the players behind him; the guy in the jersey ending in a 6 is almost a full head taller than him (and he’s only a little bit behind him so that difference can’t be explained by “depth perception” or anything else). It simply can’t be Braylon.
Yes, I am aware of depth perception. But look at the players next to him — they’re taller than him and appear to be at about the same depth. That’s not Braylon.
Bernie, can you tell us what game (and what website) you pulled this photo from? Maybe we can narrow things down and find out if Braylon was on the field at the time.
Also, I found the picture. It’s from a 2008 game against Cincinnati. And here’s a picture of Braylon from that same game and you can see that he has a beard, so the picture above clearly is not Braylon.
“Everyone get back! It looks angry!”

Hey Ref, how many more players am I allowed to have on the field?

Coaches and officials react in astonishment after Braylon Edwards holds on to a pass.
Chris Pokorny - June 23, 2010
…Just saying though, he’s on the sidelines in the background.
Still, if he caught a warmup pass, OMG HE CAUGHT IT!
SpecialBrownie - June 23, 2010
I dunno, I’m not convinced that I see Braylon.
Chris Pokorny - June 23, 2010
Where? I don’t see him.
Buckeye Brad - June 23, 2010
Right between the ref and white dude. You can see his stupid stache. Also, he had a robot RB facemask. Which that is.
SpecialBrownie - June 23, 2010
might be the depth of the picture, but that guy looks shorter
Villeslgr - June 23, 2010
I don’t think it’s him.
Chris Pokorny - June 23, 2010
Like I said to BB, you’re seeing depth perception. He’s clearly not focused in which alludes to him being farther off in the picture. I have no doubt in my mind that’s him.
SpecialBrownie - June 23, 2010
K. If that’s Quinn over the ref’s left shoulder, then it’s Edwards. They’re both the same height.
I think it’s Edwards. No doubt!!
Brownie's Year - June 24, 2010
That’s not Quinn; the guy behind the ref is wearing a winter jacket, as if he was a coach or trainer or someone. He’s not a player.
Buckeye Brad - June 24, 2010

Buckeye Brad - June 25, 2010
I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s Steptoe.
Brownie's Year - June 25, 2010
Wasn’t he on IR?
JustBob - June 25, 2010
Ghosts don’t go on IR.
Brownie's Year - June 26, 2010
that’s actually who i thought it was, but then i was thinking the Ghost couldn’t appear in pictures during real games
Villeslgr - June 27, 2010
Then he’d be a Vampire.
SpecialBrownie - June 27, 2010
Wouldn’t that make Alex Hall (#96 on the far left) about 7 feet tall?
Bernie19Kosar - July 1, 2010
No way that’s Braylon; the player in that picture is way too short.
Buckeye Brad - June 23, 2010
Dude. Depth perception.
SpecialBrownie - June 23, 2010
Yes, I am aware of depth perception. But look at the players next to him — they’re taller than him and appear to be at about the same depth. That’s not Braylon.
Buckeye Brad - June 23, 2010
That’s not a moustache. It’s the shadow cast by the bar on his facemask (see also: his forehead).
golanbatrac - June 23, 2010
Point taken. But I still think that’s his face.
SpecialBrownie - June 23, 2010

Thanks, that’s what I was trying to see.
If I’m trying to ID the player though, my guess would be Jason Wright.

Depth perception, dude.

Not only removes height but also hair

Blah, poorly executed, but oh well it’s late.
