    it truly is hilarious what passes for reporting and news in the world of sports. probably understandable for the mere fact that professional football has no real effect on our lives, but some of us take the demand for truth and transparency so damn seriously!

    I sometimes embarrass myself looking forward to reading all these stories fully realizing that probably 99% is just bullshit some guy made up in a beer joint.

    ha!......personally I like "real" reporting and kinda hate all the speculative stuff....To me, it's like the boy who cried wolf, where I dont believe anything some of them say, because they get it wrong so often.....

    But, the thing that is really aggravating is how many people just instantly believe anything they read and get all twisted up about things that aren't even true.....happens here almost everyday......πŸ˜‰

    And if you don't have a story throw something out there that grabs attention and sells more advertising. You can always say your source had been great in the past but just missed this one item.

    It's also funny how many who have an ax to grind use these stories to reinforce their own bias and then never own up to realizing it was based on bullshit. Many reside right here believe it or not. LOL! πŸ˜†

    The only thing I know he has for sure is that little yellow wristband for a child he met in a children's hospital long before he was known as Johnny Football. He has befriended that little boy and always wears that item. You can see it in that picture with her at the baseball game or on his wrist in every game he plays. After they won a big home game one year at A&M he went up in the stands and carried that boy down to the end zone so he could be part of the celebration.

    thanks for making me feel guilty.

    Reminds me of that Aggie joke about the Ag that died and went to hell. One searing morning the Devil saw him sitting in the corner with a grin on his face. When the Devil asked what he was grinning about he said he could tell by the weather that it was the start of summer in Texas and that Aggie football was just around the corner. So the Devil turned up the heat to "overdone" and looked again at his newest resident who had a huge smile on his face now. So again he asked why he was smiling so much and the Ag replied that he could tell by the heat that it was late August in Texas and the first game of the season was likely underway. This really pissed the Devil off so he went over and turned it all the way down to absolute zero and again looked over at his now blueish newcomer who had a big smile frozen in place. So the Devil ran over once again and said, "Now what!!??" The Ag just chattered his answer back through his teeth, "With the temperature here so low now this can only mean one thing. My Aggies finally won the National Football Championship!!" πŸ˜†

    Time to reiterate my 3-way?

    Browns to TB (or TN): #12 and #19

    Philly to Browns: Cox (DT) and Foles

    Philly to TB (or TN): #12, #19 and #20

    TB (or TN) to Philly: #1 (or #2)

    "More likely" to occur with TN at the #2 slot assuming TB takes Jameis #1 overall, then:

    • TN rides with Mettenberger and has three top 20 picks to fill needs in a draft deep in OL, DL and WR.
    • Chip gets his guy.
    • We get an elite, proven at the Pro level, DT and a QB awaiting confirmation of his franchise promise.

    Rumor has surfaced that Chip may package Cox/ players/ picks to get Titans' #2 if MM is still there. Has us kicking in our #19 to get Bradford.

  • I knew it. He is going to be great.

    "You planning on having a long relationship with that glass or are you going to drink it? Drink up, man. Maybe we can get another.” - Janis Joplin, 1970.

  • . . . Thomas quipped that Manziel, recently released from treatment, now spends his Saturdays studying the playbook and watching film instead of riding "a swan in a swimming pool drinking champagne," saying: "It's apparent he's realized how important football is to him. He's realized you can't get away with those things anymore." . . .

    .

    .

    .

    . . .

    Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden told Kremer that Manziel has been a workhorse around the facility, staying four hours later than some players to meet with coaches and study the new offense.

    "He has the it-factor. He has what you can't teach," said Haden, adding: "Actions speaking louder than words. He's putting forth those actions. That's all he can do."

    Nice, to hear, but we've been down this road before.

    Show me the Money !

  • First thing I did in my Madden game was trade him for a 7th round pick

  • Have that feeling they will roll with Johnny this year

  • I really really do hope Manziel pans out to be a pro bowler. All it means is not wasting another pick on a QB.

  • I guess we will find out if this story has legs or not this Thursday. If it's just some random feel-good schlock, we will see Farmer and Co. spend an early pick on a new QB.

    If Manziel really is staying late to work with coaches on the new offense and spending free time going over the playbook, why wouldn't you give the kid a chance to prove himself?

    Walking away from a first round pick (and the 3rd used to trade up) after one year is something NO front office would do.

    This team has a media firestorm surrounded by question marks, a capable journeyman veteran, and arguably the best 3rd and 4th stringers in Lewis and Shaw respectively.

    I expect this defense to shit on people this year and if Deflip can get a good system in place, we already have the pieces for a successful campaign(not to mention 10 draft picks).

    Is it Thursday yet?

    πŸ‘

  • if i were fishing for a QB i'd do it in a later round where there are actually QBs that have played in a pro-style offense.

    12 and 19 are nothing to sneeze at and the browns could walk away golden.

    tick tock.

    Who is a sucker? Joe Thomas already once trashed JFF, he isn't the guy to change his opinion just because. I certainly believe that JFF is night and day different then last year, based on the sole fact that future first ballot HOF Joe Fucking Thomas said so

  • I hope this is the way the FO feels, fingers crossed for no QB with a high pick. Thursday can't get here quick enough

  • The work ethic and dedication is great I if he wants to become an even average QB. Talent between the ears then improving upon being a decisive and smart player is another story.
