Spotlight is on the offensive line this Browns minicamp: “The competition on the offensive line is heating up. Rookie first-round pick Alex Mack played exclusively with the first team Friday morning. Incumbent starter Hank Fraley has played mostly with the starters in the practices open to the media and did so again in the evening. But the first session may be an early sign that the rookie is starting to close some ground on the veteran. Also, left guard Eric Steinbach practiced with the second team behind Rex Hadnot. Browns coach Eric Mangini says he doesn’t have a timetable on determining his starting five up front.” [James Walker/ESPN]

It appears that someone broke into Cleveland Clinic Courts and got a hold of Mike Brown’s playbook. The Wizard fans never give up. [Washington Wizards News from Truth About It]

Was Eric Mangini right about Michael Crabtree’s prima donna attitude: “Singletary also said he almost made first-round draft pick Michael Crabtree cry. Singletary found him running routes during the first minicamp and admonished him for running before he was cleared by the medical staff. Crabtree is recovering from off-season foot surgery.” [Samuel Lam/MVN]

Mangini is, however, impressed with Jerome Harrison this offseason: “I think Jerome has had an outstanding group of OTAs [organized team activities] and camps,” Mangini said. “His ability to pick up the protections and run routes out of the backfield, he reminds me a lot of Leon. I have been very pleased with him in all aspects — running, catching, protection, and the way he works on the field and in the classroom. He has done a great job.” [Tony Grossi/Plain Dealer]

The Tribe is trying to figure out why the Jake has become a bird sanctuary: “After spending Friday contacting a number of wildlife and animal organizations, the Indians concluded that increased nesting on flat rooftop buildings in Cleveland’s Flats district has led to the ballpark’s problems. During the game against the Cardinals that night, the team set off fireworks to scare the birds away and the flocks were noticeably smaller. The Flats used to be a district full of bars, restaurants and nightclubs along the Cuyahoga River, but now sits mostly desolate. Except, of course for the gulls, long a common sight along the shore of the roughly Vermont-sized lake.” [AP/ESPN]

Here’s a place where there use to be industry…
In the Ted Williams biography by Leigh Montville – there’s stories how Ted would come in early 1-2 times a year and sniper down tons of pigeons and birds that used to sit on and above the Fenway outfield. They’d fill up barrells with the carcasses. Let’s just say his shooting eye was the same as his batting eye.
Nicely played still calling it the Jake.
