ESPN Layoffs... Cutting Staff by 10%

The Browns Board
30 16 746
  • Includes some on air folks including Ed Werner and Trent Dilfer, and a lot more writers and reporters.

    Unfortunately Adam Shefter does not seem to be among the walking dead...

    If you haven't heard, Adam is reporting every Browns source he's spoken to today says it's Trubs at #1...

    Which probably means it isn't true...... Said it before Tour- (and you know I love Trubs) taking him @ #1 ahead of Garrett would be one of the ballsiest picks of all time.

    I know it would suck mine back up to whence they came... at a minumum...

    My old grampa used to quote Churchill as saying, "The Japanese, fools that they are to have attacked that great nation, have committed national suicide." Applied to the Browns I'd say, "The Browns, fools that they are to have jumped up for yet another QB, have committed FO suicide."

    Edit: If I hear trubs at #1 and Barnett @ #2 then I will know they are truly just plain football stupid.

  • Shame Jay Crawford went one of Cleveland's own

  • I will seriously throw my beer at my tv if we take manzel/weeden this year... Mean limp biscuit sorry

  • ESPN is still on the air?

    Do remember ESPN in the beginning and at it's peak was really something and nobody then could forsee any cracks in that shield.

    I remember when FOX bid and got the NFL and NBC was left out in the cold, I like most other people were surprised...FOX didn't even have a sports department.

    FOX got the NFC from CBS, CBS got the AFC from NBC, ABC hung on to MNF and NBC was without professional football but did have other venues.

    And the world changed.

  • Taking a 2nd round player at 1 in Trubisky will probably mean we pick 1 again next year....

    Except then we won't be able to justify selecting a QB worth the #1 pick.

    Better buy a cheap TV then. I'll save my beer toss for Watson\Kizer. Can see it now- you're going the be one of the boo-birds saying "told ya" after Mitch tosses his first int.

    Just keep on reading Maycock's garbage...

    We're hopefully not drafting #1 next year, and if we go all defense, it will be out of reach anyway.

    Well, Mayock has us taking MG at #1 but trading up to #5 with TN to tab your boy...

    We can put together a Rams type package next year and get whomever we want so long as the team with a #1 overall is not in desperate need of a QB. Odds on fav to be that team? I'd say SF... and they'll get Cousins clearing the way.

    Except, of course, in the long run...the Japanese attacking America can be seen as the best move by that nation...given their prosperity afterwards.

    Not perhaps in the short run....1-2 years it won't be seen as that, but, taking a QB then taking Barnett could prove the best thing in the long run.

    We get the QB we want/need who turns into a star. We get a DL that actually becomes as good or better than the guy you all want taken #1.

    See an earlier post of mine where I said that Garrett will only turn out to be like the 4th or 5th best pass rusher to come out of this draft.

    I'm not at all impressed with Barnett. I think he is late first rounder. Just too slow of reaction and speed/agility to be an edge in the NFL. My bust pick if he goes by 12.

    Say that when he runs circles around Garret. Again, others have said the same of Garrett....with slight variations.

    But riddle me this: if Barnett doesn't have the traits to be the edge rusher in the NFL....then how did he produce better numbers than Garrett in the SEC?

    Against the same competition, he did better.

    Jesus how many times have I said this? Did you not read it? He did not play against SEC West which is miles above SEC East. The only two he played against last year from SEC West both scored over 45 points against Tenn. This is totally comparing apples to oranges.
