Mack stays with Browns

Cleveland is not a great place to play football.
No place in the north is.
When given the option, nearly everyone would rather play in the south. If you say otherwise, you're lying.
more the west coast. nobody likes the south. i'd rather play in friggin minnesota than the south.
i heard the people down there really suck.

I'm talking for climate purposes. Any time you can play a week 17 game at home and it's only like 60 degrees, from a players standpoint, that's perfect.
The people in Charlotte aren't so bad. Other places...yikes.
No players actually enjoy playing in sub freezing temperatures, no matter what they say. That's why the Pro Bowl is in Hawaii and not Canton.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
i was bustin balls.
no doubt it'd be better to play somewhere where the climate is nice all year round, like san diego.
BUT some of the most memorable games have been played in the worse conditions. i'm sure the players of those games didn't like it at the time, but for them to have been there and overcome the weather.........kinda like proving your manhood.

What's this "Pro Bowl" thing you speak of?
-
I think it is probably the opposite.....Cleveland is a great place to play football....but the way the franchise has been run since he has been here is what I would think he would be upset about. He is now on his 4th HC in just the 5-6 years he has been here. I think the OL coach he liked is also gone. And the losing. No one is happy about that.

Dumbest thing I have yet heard you say. I am certain you say this only to stir up hornets.

The Pro Bowl is not a real game. Just a game to let the players go out and lay around the beach.
I also think that a vast majority of players would rather play a game in the 20s than in the 90s. They sure the fuck don't want to play weeks 1-4 in Tampa/Miami etc.
There is reason they have as many or more domes in the south...in N.O, Houston, Ariz., ATL etc. It is too goddamn hot to play there.
Sure, games approaching zero in temp are rough on everyone....but probably no less so than those games in the high 80s/90s.

By the way, correct me if I am wrong, but in the future, aren't they playing the Pro Bowl in like the stadium that the Super Bowl is to be played in.
I know that the game next year will be held in Glendale AZ, NOT in Hawaii. But apparently it will be held in Hawaii again the following year.
In the future they may end up having cities big on holding the Pro Bowl, just like they do the SB. But, perhaps, unlike the Super Bowl, they may not limit the city choice to just those places with an NFL team.
In that case a city like LA, obviously could host a Pro Bowl.
Yes, they would probably choose warmer weather cities. But how about a San Antonio, or a Tuscon, or Birmingham, college towns. Or Mexico.
Knowing the NFL's infatuation with international expansion, maybe they could go to Rio or Capetown, Australia etc.

It's to be played in Arozona this year, then return to Hawaii.
Keep thinking most players would rather play in freezing cold weather. That's hilarious.

Yes, players would rather play in cold, weather than in hot sweltering weather. Sure, playing in weather that is the 50s or 60s is fine....but for you to tell me that football players are such big pussies as to not handle a little cold weather would be very enlightening to me.
Maybe they would like to put on some footies, and have their Mommies serve them some hot cocoa at halftime.

I couldn't disagree with you more as well and you're just being stubborn. It's pretty much common sense, when you deal with cold and snow it doesn't only suck from a comfort side. The ball turns into a slippery brick out there where in places like San Diego or Miami the worst you're dealing with is rain. How can you not see that?

I am not being stubborn, I am being accurate....because you and I are not comparing the same thing.
Sure, it is nicer to play on a 60 degree day than a 20 degree day.....but it is NOT nicer for guys trussed up in pads etc. to be out there on 80-90 degree and humid than to be out there on a 20 degree day.
And it is a lot more dangerous. No one is going to get heat stroke on a 20 degree day.
I mean, you are really coming off as a southern woos.
Playing football in the snow is about as cool as it gets....and many players would tell you that.

I used to like playing in the cold.
-
Seems to me that not only the Minnesota Vikings but also the Green Bay Packers and others would look forward to home games in the winter time.

Have you ever hit a person in 20 degree weather?
Have you ever even worn pads?
I hate to pull this card, but from experience it is much nicer to play in warmer weather than colder weather. Today's pads are equipped with air conditioning and cooling systems. Playing football in the snow once is cool. Everybody wants to do it. But that's it.
Like I said before, there's a reason why the Pro Bowl is played in Hawaii. Players CHOSE Hawaii. They didn't CHOOSE Canton.
You're coming off as a stubborn and ill-informed homer, and that's all this is.

OK, and you are coming off as a Southern Pussy who can't handle a little cold.!
(the players chose to take a vacation and play in the nice mild temps of Hawaii in Winter....not in 80-s-90s and humid, or in 20s.)

There's a reason nobody retires and moves up north.
When do you think the NFL season occurs? In fall and winter. Not summer. It's rare for a 90 degree game. It's not rare for a 30 degree game. And, as I've said before, players don't want to play in that. This is coming from the point of view of someone who played the game for a long time at three different levels in the South and the North.
Not from the point of view of a retired judge who's never played the game nor has he ever lived outside of the greater Cleveland area.
For the record, a majority of my teammates were from the North. None of them liked playing in the cold.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
yeah. i was i the german forest for six months a clip every year for three years during winter. dreaded that shit.
but now it's a proud memory.
who gets more props, the guy that won and played under difficult conditions or the guy who played in perfect conditions?
these guys are lucky enough to make it to the nfl and get paid very well for doing so. they should feel grateful someone called them on draft day.

Hawaii isn't hot and humid. it's warmest average temp is around 85-- in the dry, non humid season. It's a little more humid during the cooler season when the average temp is in the 70's. But it's still not really humid. It's pretty much comfortable year round.
What does Hawaii have to do with the selweltering south of the USA?
-
Playing the Super Bowl in early Feb outside in New fuckiin Jersey was an outrage. Play the game in the warmer weather. The players prefer it and the fans (especially we folk up north) enjoy watching everyone enjoy themselves in shirtsleeves. Miami, Pasadena, Phoenix and Texas are the best sites for the ultimate football game.
who cares about the pro bowl anyhow?

actually, there are quite a number who do. You just wouldn't be aware of it.

Right. Football is meant to be played in 30 degree weather, not 90 degree weather.
And, as I've said before, players don't want to play in that.
Only players who are pussies from the south....apparently you must know a whole squad of them. Up here we call guys that play football in the snow, mud, rain "men".
This is coming from the point of view of someone who played the game for a long time at three different levels in the South and the North.

First off, I am by no means retired. (I am a magistrate...part time. My full time job is as an attorney. I am retired from neither).
And yes, I played baseball and basketball in HS, not football.....organized.
But I played plenty of backyard football...in mud and snow.
Besides...I have lived outside the greater Cleveland area...for a bit. In Ft. Lauderdale for a while....in "football season"....August/Sept.
And no one there ever wanted to go outside to play anything....because it was too fucking hot.
For the record, a majority of my teammates were from the North. None of them liked playing in the cold.
Your pussification must have been infectious.
Again, I repeat...yes, people would rather play/watch football in mild 50/60/70 degree weather....but I believe more people would be tolerable to play football in 40/30/20/10 degree weather than in 80/90/100 degree weather.
