  • I have to add- I was wrong about who gets to coach the Senior Bowl. I assumed (wrongly) the teams with the worst records got the honors. Not the case. This year it's the Texans and Broncos.

    Why don't you copy and paste it to the Tribe forum? .. 🙂  I can only merge and move threads, not individual posts.

    Well in the interest of Cleveland sports fans everywhere I put it up here AND on the TRIBE Board also, nothing we like more than the BROWNS next draft and the INDIANS opening day!

    Hey the Indians also play some regular season games in Puerto Rico this year. ......how about that! 

  • April 26, 2018.  The biggest day in Cleveland Sports.

    Yea....basically it says that Hue was just too completely disorganized to be able to competently handle the duties of the Senior Bowl. 

    Though...I admit that "significant changes" should likely be forthcoming to the staff.  We do need more better competent coaches in here to attempt to make up for the deficiencies of the HC.  An OC.....a new ST coach, after this year miserable performance.   STs likely lost 3 games alone.  And who knows who else.

    What? Not even a footnote or something?  😐

  • Wow, Hue declines to coach in the Senior Bowl... his ONLY chance to coach in any kind of bowl and he passes it up so he can "go on vacation"... what a hoe.

    Hue is a lazy Khunt. 

  • It isn't easy coaching to 1-31 in  two years.  

  • You missed the parade off the dates 🙂

  • Final list of underclassmen approved by the NFL to enter the Draft is out.

    Walter's has him ranked #2.Love is the same 5'11 as Hunt,McCaffery,Kamara or Penny. My bummer is I watched Love play HS ball at Wake Forest HS in Raleigh,NC. As most Carolina HS backs such as Chris Johnson,Todd Gurley they fly at track speed.Bryce Love was a USA track & field youth athlete of the year in 09..As both C. Johnson(in prime) & Gurley..when they miss? your reading his back number getting smaller in chase. your not catching them..guess am watching more late night Stanford games😮  

  • Love me some combine

    What, is he afraid of another loss on his record? 😆

    ........sorry I couldn't resist on that one.
