    They went out of business in 1960, but one can could last a decade...

    Interesting article popped up in google... the name rights to Shinola were purchased in 2011 and the company makes watches and other accessories.

    How Shinola Went From Shoe Polish to the Coolest Brand in America

    Nobody's confusing shit with Shinola anymore

  • Good news.....although not practicing today, JT is dressed and stretching.....looks fine.....

    Conversely......Johnny is not doing QB drills or throwing today....hmmmm....(tired arm?)

    Pettine said earlier that if they dont practice Tuesday, they dont play Thursday......hoping this doesnt apply to JFF....really want to see him play in a game situation....

    Maybe resting him for his Thursday debut.

    Think you are right. They rest pitchers, even closers now and again. After throwing a much heavier ball for some time daily all the QB arms could use a rest.

  • @TonyGrossi: #Browns Joe thomas practicing today. And RB Duke Johnson in uniform.

    @TonyGrossi: Looks like #Browns Terrelle Pryor will practice too.

    Pryor needs every rep he can get given how good the WRs looked, and Duke needs to get that uni dirty...... ASAP!

  • Well when your defense struggles at defending a outside run attack a week with Shady McCoy can't hurt.. Orchard, Bloodbath or A. Bryant somebody's got to step up.

    Very good point, actually. About the best practise we could have asked for, outside of maybe Seattle.

  • Let's hope...

    I've been trying to shake a bad feeling about this week all weekend...

    Ive had a pit in my stomach about this weeks practice in PA.....you too?......

    ....dont trust Rex or his boys.......next two days cant go fast enough

  • After watching the replay of the Bills' pre-season game, I am stoked that we have to go up against them. They looked tough, mean, fast, dominate and bully like,,,,,,,,, Everything I hope our defense turns into. If we can't hold our own against them in an organized practice, then we need to re-evaluate our "Play Like a Brown" thing.

    Bring it on Rex!

  • well....the good news is that day one is in the books and we stayed clean......🙂

    Some blurbs from todays practice....

    Sounds like we had some pass rush success.....Shelton, Kruger and Poyer all got sacks against the ones.....

    Our DB's got eaten alive.....except Traymon, who had a great day.......BUT Kwaun, Desir, Haden, Gipson all sat out.....Gilbert got torched a few times...

    And our OL showed nicely against their front 7......

    Manziel and McCown both had plus days .....

    Marlon Moore, who practiced in red due to injured ribs, got into a beef and sat the rest of the day....

    Duke Johnson ended up sitting again(thought he was gonna be back today).....

  • Gilbert has all the potential in the world physically but may be legally Retarded. I could see him getting this year to figure it out but will get his walking papers next season if he still sucks.

  • The Gilbert saga:


    Not sure safety helps him. He doesn't have any instincts and can't hit anybody to save his ass.


    Dangerous Darryl Ruiter just destroyed him on 92.3. Said he was goddawful today.


    We are at the stage that is past 'be worried'. I think reality is hitting home. A good player such as Nelson is probably going to get cut because of this horse's ass, because there is no way they bite the bullet yet on him. Bet Jimmah ain't too happy about it.


    At least we got Mingo!

    Totally agree. At some point you are what you are, and for me, I'm at that point.

    Why you gotta ruin my day like that?

    One down...

    Sounds like Pet and Rexy set the proper tone:

    Head coaches Rex Ryan and Mike Pettine called both of their respective football teams to the middle of the field and asked each player to take a knee.

    The rules of engagement were laid out to the 180 players and right before breaking up onto the two fields at St. John Fisher College, Ryan quipped at recently signed linebacker IK Enemkpali, “No fighting!”

    It'd be great to see it carry all the way thru Th nite...

    Above in italics was taken from nice little article on today:

  • Doesn't sound like we were up to the Bills' effort and intensity today:

    Hopefully better tomorrow and Thursday.
