And don't ask stupid questions MKC....
Did you just go to Europe too?

Here's how... http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26432284/this-real-how-browns-pulled-odell-beckham-jr-trade
Great read, darren, thanks...
My major takeaway is how this is a relationship-driven league when it comes to deal making. The fact that there's 30+ years between the Dorsey-Gettleman connection is testimony to this. But even that is not enough... deals have to be win-win in the minds of the GMs... especially when one (Gettleman in this case) has to endure fan disapproval.
And it's easy to see this latter part in deals JD has made that even his biggest backers 'round here have questioned as to whether we got enough for what we gave up. Sometimes you win a little less now to set up bigger deals in the future.
As big of a Sashi backer as I was, I know this was something he never understood. He tried to win every deal and that doesn't make friends which, unlike player evaluation, was part of his job description. Further he did not have the advantage of the past in football that Dorsey has which led to his relationship with Gettleman.
Other cool bits in the article that caught my eye:
- Kitch being "in the room" (JD's office) during the negotiations... love not only the trust this shows JD has in Kitch, but also the educational growth of Kitch.
- The Mayfield-Shepard connection that helped OBJ to get comfy with the move to CLE... not something I was aware of prior to this read.
- Ditto the LBJ-OBJ convo on CLE... namely "You'll love it."
- Lastly... Jimmah's apparent ease with having given up "control" to JD and... dare I say... apparent patience in saying, " "We're a lot better, but I think you have to realize we're two years away from not winning a game, right?"

I'm surprised you didn't make that first connection with Shepard having been at Ok with Baker.
And I would think the connection between the two ex-LSU receivers had to be likely one hellofan influence as well.

The latter was widely known. I simply did not know of the former as I did not follow Baker prior to his final season at OU.

Juicy Fruit gum is for Fruits..
Step it up a notch & Join Odel & I in the Big League Chew/chat fest ?.. Na-Nu..Na-Nu

lol...
I bought a "pouch" of Chew at a minor league baseball game in Newport, RI several years ago. Chewed some and packed the rest away in a travel bag where it remained for a few years. Couple years ago came across it and said, "WTH..."
Took a little more mouth moisture, but it was still chewable.

Roughly 20 or so years ago I went to a dollar store and found packs of unopened 10 year old baseball cards, and bought a few just for kicks.
Inside the 10 year old pack of baseball cards was a 10 year old, petrified piece of gum that used to come in baseball cards back in the day.
Damn right I chewed it. ?
-
lol.... but then "card gum" always started petrified...
And it mattered not what the cards were...
baseball... football... civil war... Famous Monsters of Filmland... must be more I'm forgetting.
I do remember Famous Monsters also having a "kinescope" pack with a series of stills you zipped thru producing a "movie". One I vividly remember is the Creature rising up from the Black Lagoon.
Exactly what was that chalky, white "dust" on that gum?

What you really need to top off that gum is one of these "jawbreakers". It's the lost art of burning a kids mouth up.?

Oh....he's all in now. You have to be to do that to a Rolls....

For sure, too soon rich, too soon broke.
You guys might find this interesting about conspicuous consumption by pro athletes.... Has Joe gotten the $1 million Lamborghini repainted black and yellow yet? http://www.worldemand.com/worldwide/nfl-fortune-2/48
BTW, seems Andrew Luck is a man of the people. His ride? A Honda Accord.

Luck in a Rolls could be used for the next Geico caveman commercial.
