    I'm sure Jimmy already knows. He's at the games when there are more of the visitors fans there then his teams fans. And the stadium is half empty

    well I am sure the other owners are glad someone is showing up at the games

    makes ya wonder how long it will take them to force haslem to move the team

    FWIW, the NFL can't "force" an owner to move a team. They can force him to sell it if they feel it's being totally mismanaged. That has happened at least once (Patriots). Haslam can't move the team even if he wants to, at least until 2028 when the lease is up. Part of the deal when Modell pulled the rug out from under Cleveland was the best lawyers in the city drew up an ironclad stadium lease that's virtually impossible for a Browns owner to break.

  • A game or two ago they had I think Higgins or Louis as the top rated guy when pryor had 130 yards and some people were flipping shit. But if you actually take a moment to consider what they're saying, it's that on a snap-per-snap basis, that guy did his job better. Pryor had picked up a couple of big chunk plays but not much else, and I think had a couple penalties.

    It's not a gospel "higher score = better player" and certainly shouldn't be treated as such. It's just 'how well did you execute what was asked of you' and that's why you see our OL outside of Cam turning up in their top five every game. Four out of five guys blocking well and the center whiffing = sack or tfl. People then say 'hey we got sacked/stuffed/concussed we need a whole new OL' without taking a moment to look a little deeper.

    This question just struck me...

    Have we won a game since BrownsDawgPound took over OP'ing the weekly "Official" game thread?

    Not sure, but it is safe to say his overall record is not goo.

    Maybe we should revolt next week and start a parallel thread. I'm sure we would win then.

    Parallel sounds like a tie inducing move at best... ditto for immediate locking...

    You want a win? One-week ban...

    17....and, even after that, some wont get your point.....

    ... or will and summarily reject it.

    I placed it right next to the far more popular, "refs are screwing us" conspiracy theory in my "Worthless crap I read on the BrownsBoard" file.

    So...to me...PFF is a great tool, but not to be taken as gospel(which way too many people and writers do).....

    Absolutely... while I prefer it to game watchers who after one casual viewing "grade" every player on the field, PFF has it's limitations.

    Not to mention the out-of-pocket Jimmah laid out for stadium improvements. Not exactly a move a businessman planning a move would make.
