Survey Thursday 4/22
-
Here is a survey for this week. Give your answers or opinions:
1. Do you see the Browns making any kind of trade of their top draft pick. If so, what would be the nature of the trade?
16-19 for a top WR or DB. More likely DB.
2. It has been revealed that Justin Field has been diagnosed with Epilepsy. How do you feel this should affect his draft status?
He’s an intriguing prospect regardless. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up being the top QB in this class. I’m hoping Atlanta and he sits behind Matty Ice for a year.
3. Former Browns Safety TJ Ward has officially retired. What do you think about that?
I thought he retired a few years ago.
4. Adrian Peterson is still out looking for an NFL gig. Should a team sign him, or should he just retire?
He looked like he still had something in the tank last season.
5. In one publication, Johnny Manziel was named the worst draft pick in Browns history. Agree? Disagree? Or who would you give that label too?
He shares the honor with Brandon Weeden (28 year old draft prospect!!), Justin Gilbert and Brady Quinn.
6. In Europe, about a dozen of the top money European soccer teams are trying to form a "Super League", where they just play each other, and make their own TV deals, and, of course, try to keep ALL the money. Could you see something like that being attempted by any of the teams in the major North American Sports Leagues? Where say all the "Big market" teams, join together and say "we don't need all these small market teams, let's just us 10-12 teams form a league and play each other and keep all the piles of cash"?
Not sure but MLB maybe.

I'll buy that.

Well... cash is usually the deciding factor in things... So yes,,, I see something like that happening here... its only a matter of when.. not if....

When you come right down to it $MONEY$ is the lifeblood of all sports from pee-wee to high school to college to professional play for money sports.
Without cash and/or the efforts of volunteers or paid to play sports it all comes to a grinding stop if the funding stops.
Something to think about.

Like betting on will the sun will come up tomorrow...... nobody will underwrite that bet.
There must be a win/lose element in it for a bet to occur, and often some "juice" in it for the underwriter.

I see a good chance of trading down in to the 2nd round.
2. It has been revealed that Justin Field has been diagnosed with Epilepsy. How do you feel this should affect his draft status?
It can't help. I don't know how easy it is to manage to speculate on if it will hurt.
3. Former Browns Safety TJ Ward has officially retired. What do you think about that?
I don't care.
4. Adrian Peterson is still out looking for an NFL gig. Should a team sign him, or should he just retire?
He's done. Somebody may sign him.

Mike Junkin might have been worse

Pro leagues, probably not.They need all the teams to make it work. The NCAA, I could see that. I could see the SEC as an example just doing their own thing, then inviting select others...like OSU to join and play using their own rules and telling the NCAA to take a hike.

Actually, since this is a money thing, the Big Ten is actually a bigger revenue producer than the SEC:
Power Five NCAA conferences generated more than $2.9 billion in combined revenue for the 2019 fiscal year, according to federal tax records obtained by USA TODAY. The Big Ten Conference reported more than $780 million in revenue, the most of any conference, with the SEC second at just shy of $721 million.
What could happen is that like 30 of the big name schools could coalesce and go for all the money. But, I don't know.....as TxAg says, some of these schools have their own sweetheart deals that they may not want to share even with the other big boys. Like Texas.

I think you merge the three #22 boys, Quinn, Weeden and Manziel together and build a monument to its futility.
You know in order to move ahead of Pittspuke this year we could make a trade with a very needy Tenn. team.
Oh don't worry-they are at #22.??

And believe me when I say you have to pay through the nose through "donations" just to get on the list to "maybe" get decent season tickets for which they then charge an arm & a leg. Too many body part missing for my taste, so I look to make a deal for individual tickets via the internet.

All that money. So little results.

This COVID year they only lost to Bama and finished #4 overall, so they actually got results better than before they opened the new "House That Johnny Built". Johnny's best was #5 with a win @ Bama. They got screwed out of the final 4. ND had no business there with a season ending loss.

5......lots of bad draft picks...i agree with all of them that was stated....i have to say, the worse trade in pro sports, in my opinion, at least as far as the browns, was mike oliphant for byner....one of the worse trades ever in pro sports...well, maybe not as bad when the cubs traded lou brock to saint louie for for for...well i don't even know who for....but it could not have been good because the cubs were still shitty during that era....
