I know Derek Anderson has to do the politically correct thing for his career here but at the same time we at least got to hear his true feelings. If you missed it, Anderson said that Cleveland fans didn’t deserve a winner and that the fans there are ruthless. He commented that he will never forget when he was cheered when he was injured. Can you blame the guy?

Don’t apologize Anderson because you don’t have to. You got your money and your big contract because of your time in Cleveland. You got your signing bonus and your pro bowl season in Cleveland. Because of Cleveland you will cling to a career that was made because of Cleveland but don’t apologize while leaving. In fact, apologize for the horrible play of the team and for being embarrassingly bad for the past 2 seasons. Don’t get mad for being booed as one of the worst qb’s in the league. Walk away having said what you said and move on, but don’t tell me you are sorry for the comments. Cleveland fans couldn’t care less if they are called ruthless and they shouldn’t. Fans pay hard earned money for the right to boo or cheer and it comes with the territory and Derek Anderson got paid very well for it, in fact too well. If we all performed as poorly as he did doing his job then we would all expect to be fired and take accountability for it, not whine and blame on the way out.
