you know you want it.

since i can only check the site sporadically and stuff can get buried fast, one thing i do a lot is find one of my posts on the board and then hit the "find member's posts" option in the drop down menu above the avatar. as long as i posted in the thread i'm looking for within one click i'm exactly where i want to be.

cool feature, thought i'd share my exp w you in the interest of helping you navigate TBB as efficiently as possible 1MS.

OK, sorry.

Formerly Sane or whatever his name is started the thread. What happened? Did the Rapture occur and he and all his threads get whisked off to heaven....or hell?

It was a good thread and cool technology. Not sure why it was zapped.

Because it is pretty cool.

It would be pretty slick if they put one of these in every stadium for every game.

I agree though that Ryan is an idiot and his wife gives foot jobs for $5.

The Steelers are just pounding them backwards! Love it!

could do better if they picked up a predraft magazine or looked at a website

minutes before the draft.

I am not kidding. Browns have been _that_ bad at drafting since, well, since

the 1980s. Just look at who they picked, especially the super high picks

they accumulate each year for having such a horrible record - almost

every single season. With picks that high, they should be able to luck

into drafting some probowl-level players. But no - they still screw up the picks.

2010 might be the first decent draft that have had in over 25 years.

2010 1 1 7 7 Joe Haden DB Florida - maybe the first decent first round pick

since.....I don't even know when.

2 2 6 38 T.J. Ward DB Oregon - Seems decent too.

3 2 27 59 Montario Hardesty RB Tennessee - Horrid pick and they gave up a bunch

of picks to get him. He will never be healthy for any length of time and I warned Browns fans of this

as soon as they drafted him.

4 3 21 85 Colt McCoy QB Texas - Could be a steal. We will see if he doesn't

end up having his career ruined just from being in Cle, ala Tim Couch. Couch was considered a can't

miss prospect, but just being in Cle ruined his entire career. He ended up having a pop gun arm

and too weak of a character. Didn't he literally cry about the fans being too mean to him? 5-8 are

all nobodies.

I don't even need to go on. It is powerfully evident that Browns suck at drafting so bad, it

appears they are TRYING to suck. Wasn't Courtney Brown supposed to be a hall of famer?

He sucked. So did William Green. Tim Couch? My God, it is amazing one team could

have that many super horrible high draft picks.

Someone moved the damn thread before I could respond- consider the front office- the Browns had months to get the FO in order in '99, the Jags and Panthers had YEARS.

This has been discussed before ad nauseum-- yup in years past, the Browns have drafted like rubbish which is why they have SUCKED recently. I'll defend the Couch pick because he was the best prospect coming out of college in '99, unless you want to say the Browns should have had ESP and taken Donovan McNabb, who was rated lower. OR picked up a certain grocery bagging former Arena league guy by the name of Kurt Warner in the expansion draft.

Cortney Brown- or Jamal Lewis, Brian Urlacher- gee blew that one.

Gerrard Warren (who's actually had a journeyman career) and this one really hurts Ladainian Tomlinson or Richard Seymour

William Green- now if they had taken Tomlinson the year before like they should have, the pick could have been Lito Sheppard or traded up one spot to take Albert Haynesworth.

Jeff Faine, first non- bust- but taking a center in the first round, you had better not.

Kellen (Evil Knievel) Winslow- I hated this pick 1\2 the board wanted Rothlisberger- and Vince Wilfork was available too.

Braylon Edwards- not horrible- at least when he's not out getting arrested for DUI @ 4AM.

Kam Wimbley- at the time it looked OK but the Browns swapped places with the Ravens and they took Haloti Ngata.

Joe Thomas- great pick, Brady Quinn lousy pick

With the pick they traded away for Brady Quinn the Browns could have selected Felix Jones, Rashard Mendenhall, or Chris Johnson. Great move there guys.

I'm not upset about the Browns repeatedly trading down to obtain extra picks- but just for historical reasons, they would have looked like geniuses if they had taken Clay Matthews Jr instead of Alex Mack. We needed linebackers far more than a center.

So there you have it in great detail about the Browns draft suckiness. And BTW, Ahtyba Rubin is far from a bust- in fact he could eventually make a pro bowl or two at NT.

A final thought- every team blows it on player selection, it's just that the better teams do it less often. So let me remind you of Gabe Rivera and Bubby Brister. Or the Colts take Ryan Leaf instead of Peyton Manning- we're talking ONE draft slot that would have changed the history of the NFL. Da Bungles draft record isn't much better than the Browns over the last 20 years. Every team had a shot at Joe Montana, and multiple shots at Tom Brady. Where would Marquis Colston get drafted now? Higher than seventh round I daresay. A bunch of teams whiffed on Jerry Rice. I could go on, but you get the drift.....

Play like a jet!

No team has run the ball on the Pittsburgh Steelers and there isn't a better core of LB's in the league. Add in the fact that the Pittsburgh defense is the consensus number one D in the league all leads to one thing. The game being placed on Sanchez and I don't believe Sanchez will handle the pressure in Pittsburgh against a hungry defense. The Pittsburgh offense is also much better. The Jets have a long, hard road ahead of them and I don't believe the teams are all that evenly matched when you factor in the Pittsburgh defense. If anything we're most evenly matched with Baltimore.

This game is such an even match up, it will come down to turn overs.. I agree gayben is better than Sanchez, but the Jets oline also is alot stronger.
