I just figured this would put smiles on a few faces:

With the recent death of Buckeye/Brown legend Bill Willis and murder of Sean Taylor of the Redskins, we can all use a little chuckle. While on Munch's "Brownout" segment on WKNR yesterday, Aaron Shea recalled a more light-hearted story regarding break-ins.

Apparently, one night while he was still with the Browns, Tim Couch had called Shea saying that he had heard someone pick up another phone receiver in his home, and the "Extension in Use" light turned on. For fear of looking "like an idiot" if it was a false alarm, Couch decided to ask Aaron to come over and check it out instead of the police.

Shea obliged, and left his Westlake home to come to Tim's aid armed with a baseball bat. When he arrived at the house, he called from his cell phone and told Couch to come down the stairs and flip on the lights at the count of three. He would charge into the front door, and the intruder would have the surprise of two professional football players gunning for him.

He took a deep breath, counted to three, and burst in the door...No Couch.

"That chicken was still in his room," Aaron laughed.

Couch had stayed put in his bedroom, ready to ambush any would-be intruders, and later told Shea that he basically wasn't going to come out unless he knew there was no one in the home.

Now, Tim Couch may have had his problems in Cleveland, but just about all of us can attest to the fact that he is pretty much an all-around good guy. To picture him and Shea, two grown men - not just grown men, big grown men...professional football player grown men - sneaking around Tim's home and looking for bad guys like two teenagers at a slumber party made me laugh so hard I nearly pissed myself.

"Be vewwwy vewwwy quiet. I'm hunting intwooders...huhuhuhuh"
