For those of you that enjoy filling out The Brackets this time of year, but (a) don’t work in an office, (b) don’t feel like giving ten bucks to that sweaty guy that’s running your office pool, or (c) find joy in out-picking random people on the internets, we present the UPROXX Pool Of Awesome.

Prizes for the top 3. Link is here. Password is “dukesucks44.”

Kellen Winslow returned to the Browns after a recent hospitalization that generated more than a little speculation. Turns out Winslow was the latest member of the Cleveland Browns to contract a staph infection. Hasn’t this problem has been going on in Cleveland for years? How antiquated is the sanitation up there? Can we get Bono to organize a telethon for these poor Third World bastards?

Winslow is not only pissed that he has contracted staph for the second time with the Browns, but he’s in a snit over the lack of bed-side fretting from GM Phil Savage. The battle-toughened veteran’s steely exterior was no match for the hard-hearted executive. Winslow said he felt like a piece of meat and considered asking for a trade after Savage didn’t check in him while he was in the Cleveland Clinic.

A trade? To one of the many teams clamoring for an under-performing prima donna? With a virulent infection too? I hope Savage intalled a couple dozen extra dedicated phone lines for the volume of calls which are soon to be rolling in.

Next time, Phil, the price of a Pick-Me-Up,TM bouquet will prevent this drama. And get some fucking bleach in that that shithole you call a football complex.
