| 20th October, 2008 - 8:59 am |  Cleveland Plain Dealer - Browns' tight end Kellen Winslow has admitted that his mysterious illness was a staph infection, and is upset with the way general manager Phil Savage handled the situation.
Winslow feels as though he was treated like a "piece of meat" and was disappointed that Savage didn't call him while he was in the Cleveland Clinic last week.
"There's obviously a problem [with staph], and we have to fix it," said Winslow. "Just look at the history around here. It's unfortunate, because it happens time and time again."
It was the second staph infection suffered by Winslow since 2005 and the sixth by a key player in Cleveland since that year.
"A big reason I'm upset right now has to do with [the staph infection]," said Winslow. "I heard from Romeo Crennel, and I heard from my position coach [Alfredo Roberts] when I was in the Clinic. I heard from my teammates. But I never heard from the main man -- Phil Savage -- and that really disappoints me. Sometimes I don't even feel a part of this team.
"I feel I've done a lot for this team, played through a lot of pain, and given it my all. I just thought there'd be a little more how are you doing?' by him." [READ] |
