Cleveland calls the wrong Cameron

From Peter King's Column

I've got a great story for you to lead the draft weekend column:
When Cal defensive end Cameron Jordan was taking a tour through his new business home -- the New Orleans Saints practice facility in Metairie, La. --on Saturday, his cell phone rang.
"Hi,'' said the voice on the other end. "Jordan? This is the Cleveland Browns ... '' The call was for some biographical information.
"Uh, yeah, this is Cameron Jordan,'' he said. "But the Saints already picked me.''
There was an awkward pause, and Cameron Jordan said: "I think you mean Jordan Cameron, you're looking for Jordan Cameron. That's not me.''
Cameron Jordan, the 24th pick in the draft, then hung up the phone. The Browns actually picked the right person -- USC tight end Jordan Cameron and had phoned him to tell him the good news -- and this was the call back to get biographical information from him.
Well, they do have something in common: They're both from the Pac-10.

Kinda funny they got this mixed up ... What's up with Holmgren? At least our Cameron knew where he was going to play!

Can't blame this on Mangini!

This is why the Brown have never won a Superbowl.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

your Cleveland Browns...

Well, at least is wasn't a call to pick Jordan Cameron, when in actuality they were trying to call Cameron Jordan. Could you imagine, finally getting drafted, then getting a call saying, oops...wrong guy?! That would suck.
