Speaking of Grossi, I really miss the weekly Browns show that Jimmy Donovan, Grossi and Dieken had. It was on the cable station that runs the Guardians games.

Maybe a reboot with Andre Knott (he would host a later week version of the show solo), Grossi and maybe Joe Thomas? 

Edit: Nevermind of Thomas, he lives in Wisconsin, not here. I'd be cool with a "floating" third guy. I like the guys on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show, for example. Jerod Cherry is a local guy too. 

i watched that on direct every week

the leading cause for injury in old men - is them thinking they are still young men.

I'll second that!

I agree.  When i say for not much money, I don't mean league minimum, nothing else possible.

I am as hopeful that Nick returns and plays to his old form as much as everybody on the board.  I just have my doubts.

It's hard not to have doubts at this point.   That said, if anyone can do it - It would be Chubb.  

Not that this applies to Nick Chubb just yet; but the leading cause for injury in old men - is them thinking they are still young men.

Few are like Saint Nick.

That's a good one.  And spot on.

I'd like to see him brought back on an incentive heavy contract.  He'll be two years removed from that knee injury.  If you see during training camp and preseason that you have better RB's and there's no room for him, then you can part ways with him with a clear conscience.  For what he's done and given to this organization, he probably deserves that type of respect, at least.

Great answer by Stef.  I mean really?!  Then why not shut down Bitonio, Garrett, Ward?  Hell, why not just close the doors and go home for the rest of the season?  

Really Tony, that was a dumb question.

I think so too.  When it comes to the media, controversy always seems to recruit more interest/readers.  If Stef wasn't playing Chubb - who do you think would be his biggest critic about it?

@vaportrail said:

GrossI: Did you consider shutting down Chubb for the year prior to this injury?

Stefanski: No.

Grossi: Why not?

Stefanski: Why?

I hope we sigh him, but it can't be for much money.  At this point I'd say there is a 75% chance the guy is pretty much done.

Broke his foot in second half vs Chiefs

Feel bad for the guy. If memory serves me right, Barkley had a 1 or 2 year stretch where he blew out his knee and had some other set backs.  My guess is it's easier to bounce back when you're young like Chubb already did with his knee injury/surgical repairs back at Georgia.  Again, worth noting about knee injuries - depending on the extent of damage, it used to typically take 2 full years before you'd see the injured player back to 90-100% pre-injury form. As this year got going and Chubb seemed to be averaging well below is usual 5.3 to 5.6 yards per carry - I was thinking we're halfway to the 2 year time line.  Now this but it's a fracture so it should heal.
