I'm fairly certain Rambo Kay Cabot has Roger warrants from reaching the Canton City limit signs this weekend..

you can't make this ? up  https://www.cleveland.com/news/2022/08/massage-therapists-to-hold-national-convention-in-cleveland-as-deshaun-watsons-suspension-case-plays-out.html

Can Browns fans sue the NFL for pain and suffering?

I was a hyper little kid... as I got older I mellowed out... Now I just let My guitar do all the talking...I'm still hyper... Just in a different way... I think its a natural trait among Musicians... We're bound up with excessive energy... Its like being a Jack in the box waiting to explode!

Next time just pick up one of their Spanish acoustical guitars and play for 'em. They'll love ya! Might even get one of the senoritas to do a little flamenco for ya. Oh Lay!!??

By what I gather Harvey works for Goodell (off and on) so I would imagine he knows what he is going to decide...

Makes me wonder why he didn't appoint him in the first place cutting out the middlewoman. This made zero sense to me, but then so does the contract with the NFLPA that set this ridiculous scenario up in the first place. If I were in a union, I'd have fired those guys for such a stupid agreement with the NFL.

  I hear ya.  But...that's his side of the story.  And the Three Musketeers, Jimmuh, Dee and son-in-law, did a thorough investigation prior to visiting him.    But honestly, I think that if the Musketeers came to think that Watson was some sort of perv they wouldn't have moved forward with the plan.  I assuming that they've got SOME SORT of threshold one needs to meet.   I'm hoping...

The Haslams? The same people who ripped off trucking businesses for a shitload of money?

I think what happened on this board is that Training Camp started, some people who were anti-Watson started getting excited about the upcoming season, and while they might not like him, they know he's a definite upgrade over Baker. A top notch QB with THIS roster? Man... this could be a great team! Oh, Watson is going to only miss the first six games? Well, that won't kill the Browns. Watson might be sleazy, but its not like I know any of those women, and he's probably learned his lesson, and man this team could be great, and football is finally back, and OH WHAT THE HOLY FUCK NOW GODDELL IS GOING TO WRECK OUR GREAT SEASON!!!!!?????

Umm...yeah, them.  I DID say I was hoping.  And remember, Jimmuh and the janitor didn't know anything about that scheme.

Well funny you should mention that... I'm actually tackling a Flamenco piece called "Asturias" which was written on and for piano... But it actually translates better for Classical guitar...  It's very tricky and it has a lot of alternate picking technique.. I have just about mastered the main theme and technique.. Now I just have to assemble the rest of the parts like Lego blocks so to speak... It's quite challenging... I'm also working on Eddie Van Halens Intro to "Little Guitars"... I'm gonna do my own arrangement where I combine both pieces together.. It just sounds like a perfect fit...

Many LOL Thanks ! I needed those minutes of laughter after this week ?

Ya Know?

This should remind folks of when we were kids.. Ya know?

After you'd run to your Mother (Robinson) and not get what you want... simmer a few..

Than you'd run to your Dad asking the same question hoping for better results.. ? 

(i take no credit in this...)

signed, My Wife..

A  Panthers Fan  

And if it was my dad he'd tell me to listen to my mother.

Who knows, maybe Harvey will say just that. 

6 games.

Post 'em for us when you feel you have a good recording. I love the sound of classical guitar. My wife and I had front row seats for Christopher Parkening many years ago. It was absolutely wonderful. Sometimes he made it sound like two guitars playing at once. Here ya go. His version of "Asturias".

This is all about the look .

Goodell can say hey we tried to get more. 

I fully expect the 6 games to stand.

1 Year and a hefty fine. Goodell appointed a woman because he thought she would do even worse than that minimum. Backfired on him.

Exactly, the NFLPA should have demanded the contract language MLB has.. A totally independent source to hear the league's appeal, not someone with ties to the NFL. 

That's not saying this guy isn't qualified, I just hope he can be 1\2 objective.

Really reached the point I'm numb to it all Dutch. If Watson gets a whole year, the Haslam's have no one but themselves to blame for doing shoddy research.  We won games last year with a one armed Baker. We can certainly win games with Brissett. 

And we know an entire season is going to be appealed, the Soap Opera will continue. I'm hoping for some sort of compromise. Less than a year, and a hefty fine. 

PS The hatahs hoping that the Browns lose every game because of Watson can go find another team to root for, they won't be missed.

1. So did Roger really appoint Peter Harvey who played a role in drafting the conduct policy?  I’m asking the question because it was mentioned he helped formulate the policy…is that true?  Seems like a conflict of interest to me if so.

2.  If he’s getting 12 games it is better that it be the entire season.  We are better off having his contract start to toll in 2023…so he gets into a groove by Week 16 when we are 7-8 at best.   I would trade Clowney and any other soon to be 2023 free agent. I’m sorry but 8-9 is no longer appealing.  Boy the Texans arguably more culpable make out handsomely with an extended suspension…is this what the NFL wants.

3. We talk about “bad” precedence that the NFL finds itself in over and over again.  This situation makes it worse.  What is Sue Robinsons role? 
 

4. Haslem and Co. overestimated the role the public opinion would play in this case.  They may have reviewed the cases, reviewed the NFLs prior stances, reviewed the new procedure and had a solid ground for the signing BUT they didn’t weigh public opinion and when you are talking about penalties and “legal” proceedings it has no place in the equation.
 

5. Robert Kraft what a joke.  I hope Nick Chubb puts 250 on them in a runaway game and our stadium welcomes Kraft to Cleveland

Yup.  Push his contract out a year.  That'll learn him!  Otherwise, they're actually screwing the Browns more than him.

I wish I could agree.  I think he's gonna be GoToHell's perfect little minion and do what Roger wants so he can position himself for more paying gigs like this in the future.

I need to get me a new mouth harp. I have my grandkids hoodwinked into thinking I can play a harmonica. Funny thing is I never play the same "number" a second time and I'm smart enough not to take any "ole favorites" requests.?
