    You can also go to Brave.com and download they're browser.. It's very secure.. Kills all pop ups.. And it blocks all web page advertisements and it even bloks the stupid adds and commercials on youtube....

    Of course now you're seeing "popup blocker detected". Some sites won't even let you on unless you turn yours off.  Probably the worst offender is The Weather Channel. Waaahhh, ads pay for our weather people, like they don't get plenty of ad revenue already from the Cable TWC?   I relented for a day, turned Adblock off, and was immediately getting hit with targeted ads, & that's sort of scary. Even took the time to see if I could disable some of the outfits that supply targeted advertising, and found out you can't turn all of them off. Blocker went right back on.

    Yes for example on the Brave browser.. It wont let me watch Rectrum TV without making some sort of donation.. well fuck that.. I already pay Rectum nearly $200.00 a month for the shitty service they provide.... They get enough from me.. So I use another browser for that.. I'm also gonna pare down my service from Rectum in the Fall.... Or I may just dump them entirely...

  • Jim Donovan launches his New Youtube Show 

         Here's Episode 1.. 

  • Two excellent interviews with Coach Kitchens. I like what he said about defense being the heart of a championship team. He got that from Stallings at Bama who got it as a player and coach for Bear Bryant. For someone like myself who loves to watch great defenses operate to tear apart offenses, I love that attitude and belief in our HC.??

    I get that it's Wilks defense.. a) Wilks gets his guy, Al Holcomb as Browns LB coach  b.) Browns agree to keep 14 year DB coach Dewayne Walker.But is it not odd? or c.) Did Freddie hire Wilks DL coach Tosh Lupoi from Bama before Saban got a chance to fire him or demote him as DC? (now being reported) Lupoi assistant DL coach is also a 1st year nfl assistant from Nebraska John Parrella..Seems like a youth coaching move, up front, moving on from former DL coach Clyde Simmons..i also read.. it was Gregg Williams shutting down Myles on rushing techniques..I wonder what Clyde Simmons thought? Simmons is the coach still looking for a job..

    OTAs

    @ 9:20

    Myles working with Chad Thomas on the finer points of how to hold his own playing his assingment.  Under (front) Closed (End. Usually strong side is closed) Left (side of the 3pt "closed" end)

    This is veteran stuff from a young player and what you want from your locker room leaders.

    edit:  This secondary can play.

    Double edit: If you want an early impression on Greedy - check out 20:38.   His weight transfer from his dominant to non dominant side from the initial stance, while doing quite well at reading the release of Callaway.    At 20:39 if you freeze frame you'll see the "chair".    Weight distribution is even, shoulders ahead of himself, maybe just a hair too far back on his heels but he isn't overcommitting early and opening his hips in a way that would expose him back inside.  Then you see the flip, quick feet and (attempt) at a jab.     I like my DB's being more physical but the early returns on the technique look decent enough so far.      He has to remember he's taller than the average corner and quite a few receivers as well.  But he has to learn to not play so "high" on the receivers hip, if not completely out in front of him.   That hopefully will come in time.   

  • Am most excited from what am hearing from Coach Lupoli @11:04, speaking highly of our veteran defensive field leader Shelton Richardson..Seems they have found a good connection early, despite Tosh's lack of NFL experience.. I mean, when's the last time we have put two respected defensive tackles in a D-front in the AFCN?  https://brownsplainly.com/blog/2004/08/best-of-the-browns-defensive-tackles/    I'd have to go back to my kid days of Jerry Sherk in 70's & Michael Dean Perry in 1988.. And both were browns draftees taken in the 2nd Round.Maybe Golic & Johnson? Anywho, The Trenches up front with Pitt./Balt. are going to be wildly entertaining..

    It was pretty simple from the outset - he wasn't NFL talented.     This is/was nothing new.    Crouch, Tebow, Quinn, Weeden, etc etc.    All had the ability to work their offensive systems effectively at the collegiate level (Until they either faced Miami, Bama or tOSU)  but those short comings could not be masked at the pro level.

    Anyone still shouting that Johnny had NFL talent probably wanted the pick and can't reconcile with the fact he just wasn't that good to begin with before you add in the partying.

  • really liked the last episode get a little inside look  so as i enjoy this cloudy morning waiting for september to get here I will sip on my guinness  cheers all

  • Mandatory Mini-Camp

  • ^^ Freddie "Stay OnSides"!!   .. I really hope, this is just the start of Freddie getting this team discipline from shooting their own foot weekly..Folks, we finished a) tied for 28th in holding calls with 30. led by Greg Robinson with 10 called.Dez Harrison close behind..b)tied for 25th, in Defensive Holding.Led by TJ Carrie,5 defensive holds with 4 DPi's..c)Offsides==Myles Garrett, 10 were pre-snap (4 were legal at center snap 😛)..d) ranked 30th, in Ill. Blocks above the waist.(mostly WR/TE).d) Tied for 31st, in Illegal Shifts ?..We are notoriously bad, in the 1st 5 weeks of the NFL schedule, by giving up 8 to 11 penalties per Game...that has to change.. starting with training camp practices lead by the coaches..     Edit--in 2018, the Browns were deadlast in team tackling with a grade of 34.7 per pff. Collectively missing a whopping 194 tackles in the regular season--23 more than the next closest team...<<fix this too   

  • I'd almost bet, Oh buddy boy Baker Mayfield ?..Woke up feeling dangerous on this Day..Bake & Emily walk the wedding aisle to marriage in Malibu,California today...In a slow football News period, it's the best i could do..??..Maybe some photos & news at 11PM..And Cheers & Congrats!? to the new Mayfield's.. 

  • BUMP: New episode.  🙂

    It was really good! 

  • If you're not watching this show, you're missing out!  It's awesome to have our own media production, and it's not some half-ass deal either.  They do a tremendous job and take you within the inner workings of the program.  I love it!  Youtube has so many cool things to watch...it's very easy to fall into a Youtube vortex and get lost for a couple hours.  hahaha

    Speaking of good Youtube shows, if you guys haven't watched seasons 1 and 2 of "Cobra Kai", you are completely missing out.  I honestly thought the show would be a total joke, and I didn't give it a second thought, but when I saw that it basically had the highest review of any show ever on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, I gave it a shot.  Man, what a show!  If you're a nostalgia guy like I am, this show is for you.  I mean, who didn't love the Karate Kid when they were young, right?  ?

    No,  actually, I was somewhat into my own martial arts period and just didn't give a shit about Karate or the Karate Kid.   In fact, imo karate is for kids.
