    So this is really happening?

    ? It looks like a strong possibility.  

    Back in college, any time I had a bad day I'd make sure I talked to this 1 guy that lived in the basement at our fraternity house because I knew his day was gonna be far worse.  Never failed Dutch.  I say that to say this - it's nice to know that the Jets and Bears are still around to remind us the outlook can always be worse.  Not that I want Jimmy to keep the franchise down with that type of company.

    There is also Dallas. Their owner might be worse then ours

    Right, he basically got canned for having 2 strikes on him, not 3.

    Bringing in OBJ, hiring Freddy Kitchens

    I also wonder if drafting Baker at the time was held against him.

    Dorsey was fired immediately after the season ended that the guy he drafted #1 overall showed up to training camp fat and out of shape, and as someone on the coaching staff or front office described "It appears he never opened up the playbook all off-season." This lazy, entitled behavior was a big reason the 2019 season was torpedoed.

    Could be.

    My opinion is the OBJ signing was bad for Baker, bad for the Browns

    I suppose. 

    I'm not a OBJ fan, but he immediately left the Browns and went to the Rams, and he sure didn't seem to harm the Rams or Matt Stafford that season.

    Sweet 8lb, 6oz baby Jesus, that was quick but not surprising.

    The Cardiac Kids were fun because they won.  Right now I gotta call this version of the Browns The Triple Bypass.  And, FWIW, drinking depressants while watching the depressants doesn't provide the opposite effect like giving a hyperactive kid Ritalin does.

  • Both coaches are happy to be free from hell. No high quality coaches will EVER even consider Cleveland as their landing spot. 

    Now if you will excuse me, I am off to 1265 Lombardi Avenue. The Shrine Of Pro Football.

    Prime Rib Shish Kabobs are part of the tailgate menu today.

    Beautiful day for football in Titletown! Sunny, 12 degrees with a 8 mph wind. Might want to bring a light jacket. 

    Enjoy the greatest rivalry in sports Browns fans.

    Get indigestion watching your Pack get punked by those lowly Bears? Loser.   Better luck against the Eagles? One and done pal.

    LOL! Mayfield will not be in the Hall of Fame. Just his teammate Mike Evans on first eligibility year.

    I don't think anyone is saying he should be in the hall of fame at this time.  He is putting up outstanding numbers.  If the Bucs had a semi decent defense Baker would be in the talks for MVP.

    Yes Baker is having quite the revival of his career in Tampa. And got a long term big payday out of it. Good for him. However, what's bugging me is the plethora of inaccurate boogers whining on Instagram and elsewhere like (RG III) that the Browns SO mistreated poor Baker. They forget Mayfield screwed up the last season he was here trying to play on a bum arm, and many other issues. Hey RG, did you forget both Carolina and the Rams felt his Quarterbacking talents were lacking and ALSO let him walk?  End of rant. 

  • I haven't seen the Browns be asked a question about Baker playing with some stupid strap on his shoulder.

    Any real HC would have nixxed that idea.
