I saw some of his late night talk shows....and actually he was not a bad interviewer. But, he was no match for the likes of Johnny Carson.

I remember when a group of Polish-Americans went to give Sajak the Polish-American of the Year Award, he basically threw the plaque and gifts on the floor behind him and moved on.

I always thought he was a schmuck and piss poor TV guy.

What do you think Vanna makes? And she does a lot less.

Not what Pat makes who also said long ago how he hated the show and wanted to quit....but after his late night show flopped big time he went back to corny comments and big paychecks.

Plus I don't watch the wheel, never could stand that pompous Pat Sajak especially since I saw him on Johnny Carson's show bragging how he only works 39 days a year and makes a fortune (5 shows a day).

Meanwhile I hope this year's draft class lives up to everyone's expectations.

For sure. In the past perhaps you could say you do know....you knew that things would work out for the worst...because they always have. Now? Perhaps not so much. Things have to turn around don't they? That Wheel of Fortune has always hit the Bankrupt space for us so often, isn't it time we hit the million dollar spot?

(anyone that watches Wheel of Fortune knows what I mean)

QB....??? Who knows, we could have drafted a QB number #1 and my answer would be the same. You just never know until they start playing. Kessler and Kiser could turn in to a strength. You just never know.

Personally I'm excited to see confirmation of a directional change... that's all.

Basically this. They have a plan which is clear to see, whether it works or not time will tell but at least there is one, there hasn't been a FO in Cleveland looking past "this year" since I can remember.

Always the optimist. Poetic Pollyanna. Can't really complain about that attitude, while not realistic, may be admirable.

@mudfly said:

So don't "try"... can't force what isn't there.

Personally I'm excited to see confirmation of a directional change... that's all. Not looking for "perfection" in Hue or the FO... just confirmation of a positive change that I've sensed for over a year.

Also you might be biting the wrong part of your anatomy...

@mudfly said:

Just switch to thinking how much fun it is to see a good defense play Mud. You'll feel better.

@tour2ma said:

Yeah....Im around, just still struggling to get excited.....but also trying to keep quite(bite my tongue)....Ive said it all, so kinda waiting and hoping to get some good stuff going and get excited....think we could see a good uptick, but have reservations.....and, right now, everytime I sign in to comment, I end up trying to be a realist, then getting pissed.....even w/o that intent.....

I hope Hue takes this group....puts em in the right spots....picks the right 53.....starts the right 22......but, even with FO making good picks, I still am not confident Hue will have the same positive uptick.....well shall see......season is looming.....looking forward to it(but very tempered)

@mudfly said:

Was that you? I knew someone said it a lot, but that guy was around a lot, too...

@the-gipper said:

No, Peppers is not that guy....he's the one we tapped to fill SS, which was also a gaping hole.....but still one with 2 young up and coming recent draft picks....which we cannot say for FS.....

@mudfly said:

Agree....ergo it was puzzling why it really was not addressed.....unless they consider Peppers that guy...which I don't think anyone does.

@tour2ma said:

It was one of our biggest needs before the draft and free agency......too......just sayin....

Cleveland Browns – Free safety

While the Browns have roster holes still needing filled and most notably still a question mark at the quarterback position, the biggest need the team has after free agency and the draft is free safety. Cleveland addressed several positions of need this offseason, but one of the team’s biggest weaknesses in 2016 was getting beat deep due to the backend of the defense either busting on the coverage or biting on play action and double moves. The Browns drafted Jabrill Peppers in the first round, but he’ll be used as more of a versatile chess piece that can play all over. Currently, Ed Reynolds and Tyvis Powell look to be contenders for the starting job at FS, but Reynolds posted a poor coverage grade in 2016 and Powell has yet to play a regular-season snap on defense in the NFL.
