  • you really want me to try to X plain this to ya? 😛 well ok..OT for Skirts & Wussies--If you win the opening coin flip & defer. You get the ball 1st in OT..Just to still say your the leader of the the football world but not a follower. Play the College OT but sit the ball at the 50 for maybe some outrageous FG attempts. This may also open up the field for some deep action early in a drive.. Zane Gonzalez approves this message.but Stay thirsty our friends. Any game going to OT..Concession stands re-opens with beer half price..girls kissing their sisters could happen but not many would see it..

    Well... not in Pittsburgh... nor Nashville... cities where it happens every family reunion... or weekend...

  • did the 1 cut roster from 90 to 53 pass?

  • Here is this week's Survey. Give your answers and opinions:

    1. Apparently, today, the NFL is going to vote to reduce overtime periods in the regular season from 15 minutes to 10 minutes. Supposedly in the name of player safety. Do you think this is a good rule? Or...as was said about any such change this morning on the radio....if you are so concerned with player safety then just eliminate OT altogether and live with a few more tie games.

    Thoughts?

    2. What positions would you like to still see the Browns strengthen between now and the regular season..if possible?

    3. Sports Illustrated has the Browns tagged as the 31st ranked team in the NFL right now. Why will they be wrong? (or right)

    4. The NFL has not yet asked the state of Nevada to block any on line gambling of Raiders games, particularly with phone Apps...but may do so give the Raiders move there soon Appropriate? Or "old fogey" thinking?

    https://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl-hasnt-asked-nevada-block-betting-apps-raiders-stadium-165047768.html

    5. The 2016 Rio Olympics lost massive amounts of money...mainly due to costs to construct new venues for the various sports. Now a proposal is on the board to limit the holding of the Olympics to just 4-5-6 cities around the world that already have most needed venues in place. (both Summer and Winter) Would this be an appropriate move? Or unfair to new communities that want to host the games. And which 4-5-6 cities should they choose?

    Yes, eliminate the OT altogether except for playoff games. OT should have died for regular season games when they implemented the 2 point conversion 20-some years ago.

    2. What positions would you like to still see the Browns strengthen between now and the regular season..if possible?

    The secondary.

    3. Sports Illustrated has the Browns tagged as the 31st ranked team in the NFL right now. Why will they be wrong? (or right)

    They will be wrong. It looks like the Browns upgraded the trenches on both sides of the ball, which should make a huge difference.

    4. The NFL has not yet asked the state of Nevada to block any on line gambling of Raiders games, particularly with phone Apps...but may do so give the Raiders move there soon Appropriate? Or "old fogey" thinking?

    Yes, appropriate/

    Yes, appropriate, Everything I read, it says cities struggle with building new facilities to host the games. They get an influx of travel money during the games, but when it's over, they have a hard time maintaining those facilities.

    yep, posted on nfl.com. It passed.. after preseason games about 480 players hit the street at the same time..may not favor a team coming off 1-15

    Certainly limits the "look-see" ability of cuts... but extends that of teams.

    Can teams still "cut" at any time along the way to the now, one & only deadline?

    still cleaning up the eraser chalk but sure i would think. some really bad apples may fall from that early tree 1st. Harvard's mod'o has been "love the ones you with" as most teams follow. But they better not trust the play maker's count. Not to many to count on O imo..I could see some strange PS deal's coming up next such as paying scoob more to stay? or was that order to go 😉 BTW-the little faggots with the earrings & the make-up just cost us a good week of 1st cut board topics..the least they could do is get us some new Coors Lite Twins

  • Yes, eliminate the OT altogether except for playoff games. OT should have died for regular season games when they implemented the 2 point conversion 20-some years ago.

    Ah...interesting point.

  • The ones that matter most, the ones that they are the worst in the NFL at. QB, RB, WR, TE.............The positions that determine if you win or not.

    Ghoolie is right. Those positions are still suspect (except RB in my opinion). While people have been acquired....there is no confidence in some of these.

    Problem is that there is really nothing out there from what I can see that would actually improve things...is there? Colin Kaepernick?

    Fuck the Olympics. The US jacked off all over the integrity of the Olympics when they cried like cunts to allow professional athletes play. Really, who gives a flying fuck about the pretend Olympics? I don't give a cock fuck if they eliminate them altogether. The Summer Olympics for sure are the most useless, boring fucking thing next to watching Oprah Winfrey take a shit from a tree top.

    6 Billion people on the planet disagree.

    TE is just a question mark. Njoku may be the answer there. We don't know that yet.

    Ha- Winter Olympics- the chicks LOVE the Ice Skating. Curling- man- there's an exciting "sport". 😛 I won't reopen the debate as to what constitutes a "sport" as opposed to a "skill". The skiers were pros before it got opened up. As to the US wanting LeBron & his pals playing in basketball- other countries had been sending their "pros" for years. Just leveled the playing field.

    BTW, Even more people disagree about the most world-wide watched TV sporting event. The World Cup Championship game. Zombo had better get with the program there.

    Calgary would be better. 😉 Edmonton is on a prairie, Calgary is close to mountains. I have been to both. I have been to the Olympic Bobsled run in Calgary. (also the one in Park City Utah used for 2002)

  • Yes, 6 Billion people who can't keep the Olympics from losing money. The Olympics blow. They are a fucking abomination to the intended spirit of the games. The ratings are dwindling, advertising dollars are down, and so is the audience. Nobody gives a rats nasty ass shit for the Olympics. They blow.

    Several of these things are untrue: Ratings/advertising dollars and the audiences are NOT down. But, yes, lots of money is lost by the cities/countries that have to invest Oh so much in the infrastructure for the venues. That is the reason for the proposal for holding the games in limited numbers of cities that already have basically all the infrastructure in place. Only like a kayak or canoeing venue has to be constructed for LA should they get the games.

    As for the spirit of the games? I assume you are referring to the fact that originally the athletes were supposed to be amateurs, and now they are not. Well, you can blame Communism for that. The USSR had all professional athletes playing....it was just supposedly they had other jobs. They were "members of the military" or some such tripe. They were professionals. So it was long ago determined to do away with the archaic "amateur" rules....and let the best athletes perform.
